Saw it - Inforgot that I heard that he had Parkinson’s.
Too young.

Sad to hear. When top regional batsmen are being discussed, his name should always be in the mix. Very ironical that he should pass away at a time when WI batting is probably at an all time low whereas in his time, he could not even get a look in on the team because the standard was so high.

Condolences to his loved ones. He was a good batsman. 65 is young

Met and spoke with him around 1990. Very easy going.
Rest peacefully. Condolences to his loved ones.

Oh no! Sincere Condolences to his loved ones. Thanks for the memories.

A contemporary of his died here recently too. Didn't know him well but heard
he may be related to Luther Kelly. Apparently came here to study. Seems no one has
any info/contact on family from home.

Very good first class cricketer who unfortunately came around the zenith of WI batsmanship so was unable to play test cricket.
RIP

Helmets are important.
