Trevor Bailey Obituary
The former allrounder died Thursday in a retirement home in east England. Firefighters rescued his wife.
Bailey played 61 test matches in a 10-year international career and spent 21 seasons with English county side Essex. After retiring, he became a cricket writer and broadcaster.
England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Giles Clarke says Bailey was "one of the finest allround cricketers this country has ever produced" and lauded his work as "an administrator ... a writer and broadcaster."

My heart goes out to the friends, and family of Trevor Baily. Take comfort knowing that God desires to "wipe out every tear from your eyes" and that soon "death will be no more", a thing of the past.
Sincerly,

I OWE SO MUCH TO TREVOR, WHO SPOTTED ME AS A YOUNG CRICKETER, AND GAVE ME EVERY ENCOURAGEMENT IN MY EARLY YEARS AT ESSEX CRICKET CLUB.

I would like to remember Trevor as a brilliant cricket expert on BBC radio whose resonant voice complemented his forthright views. For close to three decades, he regaled us with his witticisms and I am sure, besides me, he shall be missed by a whole roster of cricketing enthusiasts.
May the Almighty bless the departed soul with peace and tranquillity!

Those we love leave us gifts in the form of memories, that no one can take away, wisdom that we can still recall. These are the things that we shall cherish forever. May the family continue to look to Almighty God for comfort during this most difficult time, since " God is a refuge and a strength, a help that is readily to be found during times of distress". My deepest sorrow and condolences to you.
