The death of Bill Frindall removes another familiar voice from my childhood. Listening to Test Match Special on the radio was a part of my life until moving to North America (Sadly, the BBC blocks me from listening on the Internet because I’m in Canada). Amazing that a cricket statistician should be so loved. Bill Frindall wrote and edited a huge number of cricket books and he is going to be much missed in the cricketing world. As a boy, I was given a Playfair cricket annual every year.
