Bob Willis has died on 16:04 - Dec 4 with 1417 views | SuddenLad | He'll never be forgotten for his Herculean efforts for England with the ball. A tremendous bowler and match winner. Have to say that he looked very poorly last time I saw him on Sky. Rest In Peace Bob.............. | |

Bob Willis has died on 17:08 - Dec 4 with 1268 views | Cleedale | Sad news. Clearly remember him having Big Clive caught behind 1st ball in a Sunday League match Warwicks'/Lancs...after I'd ramped everyone up to 'watch this innings now'. Famous last words! Must have been an incredibly fit guy in his heyday; that really long run up and generating such pace. Didn't he try to market a Duncan Fearnley bat with holes drilled all the way through from back to front; a bit of a gimmic like Lilley's aluminium effort that merely destroyed cricket balls!!! | | | |
Bob Willis has died on 17:33 - Dec 4 with 1244 views | fitzochris | This is very sad news. He was jousting with Rob Key on The Debate just very recently. He was a great, no nonsense pundit. | |

Bob Willis has died on 18:01 - Dec 4 with 1199 views | D_Alien | At his best, he was a world class paceman but he had to be 'in the mood' or rather, 'in the groove'. And boy, was he in the groove when he destroyed the Aussies 2nd innings at Headingley in '81, without which there'd be no Botham's Ashes I've never seen a sportsman so absolutely shut off from the rest of the world and focused on one simple task, like an unleashed fury RIP Bob Willis [Post edited 4 Dec 2019 18:05]

Bob Willis has died on 18:20 - Dec 4 with 1158 views | finberty | Childhood hero of mine was Bob. One of the most unorthodox run-ups, of great length, and an unorthodox action because of career-long knee injuries. But one of the fastest and most hostile ever to wear the three lions. | | | |
