Graham Dilley RIP
Only 52 as well, never forget him and Beefy back in 1981 battering the Aussies all over Headingley.
Sad loss. |

This has come as a shock, I think whatever killed him came on quickly.
He was a bit of a ladies man from what I know, and one of his sons played professional rugby. Good bowler, and quick when he got it right. He was certainly rated within the game as a coach, and played a part at Loughborough, where all the current plans for the success of English cricket are hatched.

 Sad loss. Far too young. Who was it said "He runs in like Dennis Lillee, and bowls like Dennis Thatcher?"

I'm gutted to see this news. I will never forget his batting in the Bothams Ashes Headingly game. Kents fastest ever bowler as well. Remember watching him at our local ground Mote Cricket club. RIP.
