That's real sad.
He was special.
I was watching ashes in 2005.

and for those Heathens who don't know what cricket is
# You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.
# Each man that's in the side that's in the field goes out and when he's out comes in and the next man goes in until he's out.
# When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in.
# When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out.
# Sometimes, there are men still in and not out.
# There are men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.
# Depending on the weather and the light, the umpires can also send everybody in, no matter if they're in or out.
# When both sides have been in and all the men are out (including those who are not out), then the game is finished
simple really

And what really confuses Americans is that, at the end of all that palaver, the game can still result in a draw.

Expecting a result entirely misses the point of the sport. It has less to do with the teams on the pitch and more about getting a few days off work to (hopefully) sit in the sun and drink beers (other beverages available).

I just did it last year.
One of the few sportsmen who was great from the start and always great.
Or a tie, does any other game have 4 possible outcomes?And what really confuses Americans is that, at the end of all that palaver, the game can still result in a draw.

I had a great answer but it's not so funny now when nuclear Armageddon is the punchline.
Very sad news indeed.

I was like no way bro
He was young if 52 is young.
But he was legend and no mistake.
Probably get a state funeral in Kangaroo Island.
The Americans have no concept of crickets and thank God.
Can you imagines the Yankee Doodle playing crickets. Running around in btightly coloured pjs and having it like baseball with very limited overs.
Sacrilege.
