Careful mate. Mods be hatin' on the word "talent" these days.I'm not going to go down the line of saying how wonderful he was now that he's dead because I thought he was a nutcase and I couldn't stand him.
It's still very sad though. I remember watching him coming through the ranks at Somerset. You could see the Viv Richards influence in some of his stroke play, especially through the on side - though of course he lacked the talent to emulate the great man too much.
RIP
Yeah that's apparently been confirmed by the local police too.Hearing that he jumped from the 6th floor.Not sure if it is confirmed or not though.
