RIP Professor Peter Higgs, who theorised in the early 60s the existence of a particle that gives all things mass, later called the Higgs Boson. The existence of this entity was proven in 2012 via work at the Large Hadron Collider.

He was 94. Vale.

Unknown whether he is related to Jim Collider Higgs.

RIP Jack Alabaster. aged 93

New Zealand leg-spinner who we were discussing only recently. I think I might have mentioned that he was one of the oldest test cricketers still alive that I had seen play. I need a new list.

RIP. Still have vivid memories of him shitting himself at the crease in 74-75 as Thommo bounced him.

But a great bowler.

Great player. Gone to join Kent and England contemporaries Cowdret, Denness, Luckhurst, and Woolmer.

He top-scored in at least one of England's more risible batting efforts in that series and was a common nightwatchman.

By all accounts a top bloke as well as bowler, his reputation even transcended his role in the Headingley fiasco. Before Warne he was the best spin bowler I had seen. (The 70s Indians were good here in Oz but I also saw too much of their dreadful 1974 England venture.)
