trevor bailey

trevor edward bailey cbe -lrb- 3 december 1923 -- 10 february 2011 -rrb- was an england test cricketer , cricket writer and broadcaster .
an all-rounder , bailey was known for his skilful but unspectacular batting .
as the bbc reflected in his obituary : `` his stubborn refusal to be out normally brought more pleasure to the team than to the spectators . ''
this defensive style of play brought him the first of his nicknames , `` barnacle bailey '' , but he was a good enough cricketer that he has retrospectively been calculated to have been the leading all-rounder in the world for most of his international career .
in later life , bailey wrote a number of books and commentated on the game .
he was particularly known for the 26 years he spent working for the bbc on the test match special radio programme .
