He could go toe to toe with some of the greatest bowlers the world has ever produced and average 45. I particularly remember him against the marauding South Africans in 1998. RIP. A superb cricketer and human being.
One of my idols growing up as a young cricketer. Huge loss 😢
I was engulfed with sadness to hear the news. It was sudden and he went far too young. Thanks for the memories Graham Thorpe, a batsman I admired. RIP Champ.
One of the best. Fond memories of a compact, disciplined and engaging batsman.
Rip Graham Paul Thorpe, you will be missed
Class act.
May his soul rest in peace. Condolences to his family and friends.
😢😢😢❤❤❤❤
