There by the grace of God. Really sorry to hear of cricketer Graham Cowdrey's demise.
Legendary cricketer Graham Cowdrey was remembered today after his untimely death at the age of 56, after a rich life of tragedy and success.
Friends and family spoke of his warmth, wit and generosity of spirit as well as his passion for cricket, the sport in his blood.
Sadly Cowdrey died much too soon on Tuesday after a short battle with sepsis after a tough few years where he fell into homelessness.
He had been a much-loved player, an attacking batsman who scored more than 14,000 runs in 450 first-class appearances across 14 years at Kent from 1984.
Friends also said he was wonderful company and was quick with a joke or an anecdote from his days in the dressing room, often at his own expense, such as the time paceman Michael Holding removed his teeth with a bouncer or his enduring struggles against leg spin.

But Rawlings went on to oversee Ghana’s transition to multiparty democracy before stepping down in 2001. Today, Ghana is considered one of West Africa’s most mature democracies and regularly sees power change hands between its two main parties.
Perhaps one particular Western "democracy" might seek to take a leaf from the book of Ghanaian democracy!
The strange thing is that this is exactly the same list of things that Tony
Blair declared, at every possible opportunity, that he was passionate about
too. I was one of the very few in the FCO who was delighted by the an-
nouncement of an “Ethical foreign policy” by Robin Cook when New La-
bour took office. I had spent the first thirteen years of my career working
for Conservative governments which I viewed with varying degrees of
distaste.
How extraordinary to find that those Conservative governments were
much more honourable in their pragmatism than the reckless neo-conser-
vative contempt for international law that Blair was about to introduce as
this story begins. Blair believed he alone was the judge of right, and did-
n’t care how many had to die to prove it
Given his arrogance and intrinsic inhumanity it should have come as no surprise that Blair converted to Catholicism. He is a whited sepulchre and if there is a hell he certainly deserves to be there!
