Former England Cricket Skipper Bob Willis dies age 70 

R.I.P. Bob Willis, one of England's truly great player's🏏

RIP Bob Willis. '81, never forgotten. Thanks for the memories.

Absolutely gutted. I’ve been waiting for him to return to The Verdict....Nobody does it better 😢 We’ll miss you Mr. Willis....it was always your ashes

RIP RDGW. As an Aussie, I have always been a fan of Bob Willis. His very unique bowling style-action and his Bob Dylanesque insights, wry humour and direct talk. I first saw Mr Willis bowl in the Centenary Test of 1977 in my town of Melbourne, Australia. I then used to imitate his bowling action, but found it exhausting. My thoughts are with English cricket fans for this moment of Mr Willis' passing.

In sport today the words legend and hero are used far too much. But today we lost Bob Willis who really was a legend and a hero.....

Deeply sad today to loss a great bowler in a cricket history.. REST IN PEACE BOB WILLIS

RIP spoke from his heart was a great man

RIP Bob a legend and true honest cricketer. Will dearly miss you on the verdict. Verdict will never be the same again. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends

sad day for cricketers and cricket fans around the world. RIP BOB.

A very dark day for the game. The brutal honesty he had will always make him one of the realest people ever in the game. RIP Sir

My first sporting hero. RIP Bob Willis.

Legendary fast bowler...who didn’t try to imitate that unique bowling action? Became a great pundit, deeply passionate and knowledgeable about the game of cricket. Will be sorely missed. Rest in peace big man.

tremendous bowler, brilliant pundit. Shocked.

What i remember of him is his voice while commenting during test matches in England and the fact that he was 6'6". English test matches w/o his commentary will always be incomplete.

That woman didn’t know anything about cricket

RIP Bob

Gutted he featured in my earliest memories of cricket on television, he was an English cricket legend of 1970s and 1980s with him part of a colourful era of cricket died with him. Thoughts with his wife Lauren and his family.

Legend is a very much over used word but not as far as this guy is concerned, RIP

Rip what did he die of What a brilliant bowler

RIP

400 tests? Played in England’s 1,000th test?

Became my sporting hero the day he rightfully and bravely called ajmal for what he was a chucker. Although I am a paistani myself but the guy was clearly cheating.
