Trevor Edward BaileyCBE (3 December 1923 – 10 February 2011)[1][2] 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."[1] This defensive style of play brought him the first of his nicknames, "Barnacle Bailey",[3] but he was a good enough cricketer to be judged retrospectively as 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.
