A fantastic commentator and another part of my childhood/growing up gone for good watching the Ashes as a kid on BBC and listening to everything he had to say. I never saw him play as he was well before my time but as a commentator his voice will always be one of the greats in sport commentry

Rip. A great commentator who was a joy to listen to. His calm, balanced delivery always added an extra dimension for viewers. Great personality and charisma.
