Personally think it's the best ever bowling performance by an England bowler considering the circumstances. Still think it should be called the Willis test rather than the Botham test because of that.
Absolute legend of the game, absolutely gutted. Loved his no nonsense punditry that bordered on grumpy old man sat in the pavillion. RIP.
He hadn't been looking very well lately, so it's not a real surprise to me. I met him on a few occasions while on tour with England in the 90's and he was always a nice person to chat to, even if he did have a boring drawl of a voice. Never really liked him as a cricketer being Surrey/Warks (and especialy as a captain), but watching the Headingley Test last day was a match to remember!
It's easy to forget what a great fast bowler he was for England, when he had none of the workload protection that Broad and Anderson have got. 325 wickets at 25

RIP big Bob.
The Cricket Debate on Sky will never be the same.
Can shut my eyes and see him going into one of his 'Well Charles,...' analytical monologues.
No nonsense punditry at its very best.
RIP Bob.
