    Bob Willis

    Mop haired Pommie fast bowler.

    Famous for his 8 for 43 in the 'Phoenix from the Ashes' test, and being caught in the gully off Hadlee to give us our first test win v England.

    Prostate cancer. 😞

    P.S. on googling I didn't realise Graham Dilley had passed away in 2011 😞

    Willis must have been as hard as nails with that run up, action and pace for all those years.

    No biomechanics analysis or modern recuperation techniques

    RIP

    Some great quotes on the cricinfo eulogy

    Rene Auberjonois passed away too. I knew him as Odo in Star Trek: DS9 but he had a long career.

    Roxette singer Marie Fredriksson dies aged 61

    Roxette singer Marie Fredriksson dies aged 61

    Roxette's Per Gessle has paid tribute to a "wonderful friend" who "painted black and white songs in the most beautiful colours".

    I wasn’t a big fan but they had a lot of hits in the 90s

    Often wonder if radio stations have the inside knowledge on some of these things that the end is near .. as recently I've been hearing the song joyride an abnormal amount.

    As a hardcore bogan-music-only punk in the 90's, I always kind of liked Roxette. Can't explain why.

    So much so that in a job where I had to compile and analyse data from Fact Set, I called the database Faxette Joyride as a tribute.

    Hashtag loser.

    Yes, and it was great, but DS9 was my immediate first thought.

    For those who don't remember him in Mash, he was Father Mulcahy in the movie, but not in the TV series.

    She died from brain cancer, so it wouldn't be a big surprise if they had some idea that the end was coming. Also, Roxette sold a lot of music, so it could just be confirmation bias.

    Never apologise for liking the music that you like I reckon. Unless it’s accordions. Fuck that shit.

    also, they wrote awesome pop hits. It's a pretty great run of tracks. I unashamedly like nearly all their most well known songs
