Mike Hendricks was an excellent swing bowler. Along with Chris Old, Bob Willis and Ian Botham, Mike gave England bowling attack a sharp edge in the 1970s. Test cricket was truly enjoyable in that Era.RIP: Mike Hendricks.
Mike Hendrick was a good friend of my two late brothers, Terry, Graham and myself. I remember all 4 of us went on holiday on the Norfolk Broads for a week back in 1967. I have only found out today that dear Mike has died, and I have had the shock of my life.
RIP my dear old friend. I will never forget the great times we had in our teens.
