As a Warwickshire & England fan, this is truly sad news. RIP Bob 'say how it is' Willis. A tragic loss to the game.

A lot of these RIP often leave little effect on me but I do feel shocked & saddened by this Sad ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Likewise, often just a passing interest in RIP threads. Heard this and just went "awh no" - didnt know he was ill. I've came late to cricket (never played) - only enjoyed through a working stint in India which initiated my interest, then Betfair which hooked me on the game  . Love reading literature surrounding the game, its a constant learning process about its subtleties, especially test cricket. Then listening to experts is an education, none better than Bob Willis, no better ranter . Very very sad - a genuine loss to the game itself and lovers of the game |

Doubt I'm the only one on here who grew up immitating Bob's bowling technique. Genuinely one of the most endearing personalities in sport and a great loss. Often brightened up the day with his sense of humour. Thanks for the memories.
Bristow last year, Big Mac and Bob this year. Biggest characters in their repective sports that I grew up with. All gone |

I remember Bob driving a mini when he turned up for a benefit match at a local village venue in the early seventies.The car was a strange choice for a very tall man.At the time Warwickshire was basically made up of a World X1 type team with the likes of Lane Gibbs,Alvin kallicharran,Rohan Kanhai,Deryck Murray,Dennis Amiss,John Jameson,MJK Smith etc.What a team....and a certain Bob Willis.Thanks for the memories.RIP
