55 age is a young age

Shocking news. RIP. I remember him quietly retiring after the 2005 Ashes when Kevin Pietersen replaced him in the MO. Didn’t extend his stay like our stalwart players. What was he ill from?

[Sean Bradley]

RIP sir, really enjoyed watching you bat back in the days. Him along with Trescothick were 2 of my most favourite batters from the old English team.

Om Shanti. One of the rare English batsmen of that era (late 90s, early 2000s) who I liked. 

 

Very underrated. 6800 test runs at average of almost 45, 16 100s. Helped win Eng win test series in Pak and SL, very good against spin, probably best till arrival of KP and Cook.

 

He is also great against pace. Doesn't back away from playing the pull or hook shots. He is one batsman I knew is a threat against us and many teams would have felt the same way. what was the reason for his death. anyway, 55 is too early for someone to pass away. Om shanti.

They just said long illness, for almost 2 years I think.

 

More such cases post covid, where people in 40s and 50s are mysteriously dying.

Mystery illness, they haven’t divulged details of his illness. Could be cancer.

if it was cancer, they would have said so. mystery illness seems to be one of the code words for vaccine induced problems

Covid induced problems usually happen to healthy people working out etc. He was seriously ill for 2 years. We can only speculate

Lol how is this vaccine caused which last for 2 years? And even if you believe vaccine caused the symptoms are things like cardiac arrest, etc which can all be named. 

 

It's most likely something like paralysis etc which the family didn't want the media to keep hounding him for. 

 

Good to see that you have embraced every low IQ right wing conspiracy theory, I thought there were some you would be too smart to fall for.

We have many many many sources which shows the number of strikes heart attack etc have not gone up in any significant way. Even among young people. And it's more linked to rising obesity etc

 

What do you mean it never happened, 2 seconds Google would show you the number before and after COVID.

 

Conspiracy theorists are so brain dead they won't even take 2 seconds to Google information actually available before spouting brain dead theories. 

 

Before social media I was swearing up and down that Indians were much much smarter than dumb westerns and too smart to believe in such conspiracy theories but people like you have proven me wrong big time.

Videos are not numbers. And yes vaccine companies have called risk out like they do for every single medicine in history. Even your cough and cold medicine have side effects and people have died from bad effects. There will always be a small % affected from any medicine in history. 

 

But there have been no increase in number of deaths based on so called strokes, cardiac arrest or anything, particularly in young people, before and after COVID. 

 

We have cold hard numbers available.

 

 

Low IQ uneducated people spreading brainless conspiracy theories.

you can keep yapping and debunking kaanspiracy theories. there is no way people will be dying of unknown reasons this early after taking the covid vaccines. have some shame first for lying and backing the pharmaceutical companies, international goverments, and the doctors and researchers who get paid for the coverup.

was the best batsman in the the XI for much of his career. the death sounds connected with mental illness, though of course mind and body are not distinct. i say that because Dominic Cork said on Sky he hoped he was in a 'better place'. but then again Cork is a tit so who knows.

[Rightarmfast]

What a player he was. Probably the only batsman in his team who was gutsy and feared no bowler. Loved his batting. He was better than his stats! Rest in peace!

Could be long covid as well. Long covid is the culprit in most of these cases.

Like Heath Streak who passed away recently, Graham Thorpe is another player who 90s kids would have followed a lot.

I like thorpe. Underrated great player. He has a good record in a tough bowling era
