Some sad news from Warwickshire. Keith Piper, Warwickshire’s long-serving wicketkeeper, has died aged 56, from cancer. He was part of Warwickshire’s treble-winning team and at the other end when Lara scored 501, with a hundred of his own.
Piper, who started his career at the famous Haringey Cricket College , took more than 500 catches in his 200-match career, played in seven Lord’s finals, winning three as well as two Championship titles in 1994 and 1995 and the 1994 Sunday League. He was one of the best wicketkeepers of his time.
