    Certainly is. Gotta hope he was in pain and discomfort in those final moments too.

    What an absolutely repulsive excuse for a human being he was

He was 84.

    From the article: Powell had multiple myeloma, a cancer of plasma cells that suppresses the body's immune response, as well as Parkinson's, Peggy Cifrino, Powell's longtime chief of staff, confirmed to CNN. Even if fully vaccinated against Covid-19, those who are immunocompromised are at greater risk from the virus.

    Sad, but his legacy will always be undermined by presenting the false case against Iraq.

    RIP Fred.

    A name from my early years of cricket appreciation.

    Plenty of non NZ cricketers didn't like him. Ask Colin Croft. 🙂

    Always remember him as the guy whose face got messed up in those photos vs Canterbury. Sounds like a ruthless game

    Sad couple of days for Australian Cricket with these two passing away. Condolences @NTA and other Aussie fans….

    Stuff

    I don’t know much about Mallett but Davidson had some amazing stats. Always highly spoken of by the old timers.

    RIP to both.

    Davidson and Benaud were a couple of bloody handy all rounders by the sounds of it……well, brilliant bowlers who could bat pretty well might be a more accurate deposition given how loose the term “all rounder” is.
