He also played rugby union for Swansea.As a cricketer, he was a fast scorer and a stroke-maker.
His obituary in Wisden Cricketers' Almanack said: "There were no obvious flaws in technique: he was orthodox, and happy to get on the back foot against both the quicks – he was a skilled hooker – and the slows...
It was his effortless cover driving...
that is best remembered...
and he could on-drive beautifully."
