		Tom Graveney was a classical batsman who might have played another 20 Tests if he had managed to convince his early captains that he could be relied on in a crisis.
		He had a few untimely dismissals at the start of his England career, and the impression that county cricket was his milieu might have been strengthened by the mountain of runs he scored, with so much grace and ease, for Gloucestershire.
		An affable man, "Long Tom" became a pub landlord in retirement, and was a BBC TV summariser for a time.

		The purply Pershore-plum cheeks were blushing with pride as 77-year-old Tom Graveney became the first former professional player ever to get his feet under the table of the most famous - and till now most feudal - of cricket clubs.
		In his batting days, says Tom, "Lord's was always unsure of me, could never quite make me out." I told him it confused the patricians because he was a pro who batted like an amateur with a smile on his face.
		Graveney's own cover-drive is forever stored in the mind's eye, a mellow midsummery artefact of bespoke and timeless beauty...

		After the war it had been Tom’s intention to pursue a career in the army, had it not been for his brother’s last minute invitation to play as a substitute for a Gloucestershire XI in the summer of 1945.
		Tom’s career was by no means plain sailing as he suffered more than most from the vagaries of the English selectors and county cricket administrators, but despite this he made a successful return to the test arena at the grand old age of 35.
		Life after his playing days saw Tom turn his hand to a number of occupations including a ten year spell as landlord of the Royal Oak in Prestbury, a hostelry well known to many of his audience, and a memorable period as a test match commentator for the BBC.

		He is also state-school educated, a fact which might have excluded him from this august fraternity not too many decades ago, but now puts him in pole position to pursue his avowed intent of delivering school cricket an almighty kick up the rump.
		Graveney committed the unpardonable sin of playing in one of his own testimonial games during the rest day of the Old Trafford Test against the West Indies.

		It might seem sacrilegious to pair off such wonderful players as Thorpe and Stewart and Tom Graveney and Alan Knott, who each demand attention on their own.
		The problem, however, is that both Stewart and Knott could hold their places soely as batsman or wicket-keeper (with Stewart favouring batting and Knott keeping), but Stewart's record and style as a batsman most resembles Graveney.
		All that can be said is that they were/are four of the best of their generation (forget Thorpe's present struggles, he will come again) whose records stand the closest of scrutiny.
