Ponting Pays Heartfelt Tribute To Graham Thorpe Following His Demise
Surrey County Cricket Club: Legendary Australia cricketer Ricky Ponting has paid a heartfelt tribute to former England batter and coach Graham Thorpe, who passed away earlier this week at the age of 55 due to a long-standing illness.
Thorpe played 100 Tests for England between 1993 and 2005, amassing 6,744 runs, including 16 centuries, at an average of 44.66. He also played 82 ODIs for England, making 2,380 runs at an average of 37.18, including 21 half-centuries, apart from representing Surrey in the domestic circuit from 1988 to 2005.
“I had a bit of interaction with him during my time at Surrey. Remembering my last year of first-class cricket, (I) was actually playing for Surrey and I only played maybe half a dozen first-class games.”
