Yep couldn't agree more. Gee stiff as he was just diagnosed. Wonder if he smoked.

It will be a boring commentary box once the rest of the rat pack of Lawry and Ritchie retire permanently and we are left with your Healey types

No he wasn't a smoker and it wasn't the cancer but a suspected heart attack

Can only imagine who Ten will muster up in the commentary box.  :sleep

Let's hope Lawry and Ritchie aren't done yet
