Glamorgan saddened by Tom Maynard’s death-Cricket news Update
English players have been stunned by the accidental death of Surrey batsman, Tom Maynard, as they extended their condolences to the Maynard family .Metropolitan Police reported to have found the body on the rail track near Wimbledon Park tube station in
South London and it was later confirmed to be Tom who had been hit by the subway.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Glamorgan-c784 was where it all started for the Maynard family, with his father becoming a cult figure at the club. Tom also began his playing career with the Welsh county before a feud between his father and the English club forced him to change his side and
move to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Surrey-c851 cricket club to continue his First-Class career.
Maynard’s death has brought grief to his ex-club players and staff who had played alongside him before he made the switch. Jim Allenby, the captain of Glamorgan revealed how shocked the players and the club were upon hearing the tragic news.
“There is nothing we can do to make things right or better, I can’t begin to imagine how they are going to feel about losing Tom. We all knew Tom and what sort of a good guy he was and that makes things harder.He is one of Glamorgan’s own, we all looked
up him because of the character he was.” said http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jim-Allenby-c1695.
“We had some counseling and the support we have been given is excellent. We all came together the day after it happened, were all sat down in a room together and talked about Tom and told stories about him.” he further added.
Glamorgon postponed their T20 match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Worcestershire-c866, to give respect to the Maynard family and the delay further helped the players, who weren’t in the right frame of mind.
The tragic news had an effect on England’s One Day’s squad as Jade Dernback was released on compassionate grounds after the death of his friend and Surrey teammate. The 2nd ODI between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 at the Oval Cricket Ground, London
also started by paying a tribute to Tom, observing a minute of silence.
Right-handed Tom had knocked four centuries for Surrey cricket club and had represented England http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lions-c808. It is believed that he had the potential to achieve the highest level, by representing England.
