    Excellent seamer - 87 wickets in 30 tests and 770 first class wickets in all at 20 (all from Wiki).

    My late dad called him an unlucky bowler as he missed the bat so often because his swing was too prodigious.

    RIP Mike.

    A sad but uplifting photo, if that makes sense. 

    Desperately sad to see someone dying, but really nice that until near the end he was able to maintain some sort of life and meet up with his former colleagues like this
