It's 10 years since Ben died.
Where on earth has this 10 years gone ?
More to the point though, RIP Ben.
When other celebrities hae died and there's been an outcry, I have to say I thought it was nonsense.
When Ben died though, in spite of never having met him, I felt genuinly shocked.
A young man with so much talent.
RIP Ben Hollioake

I still remember checking my phone whilst on a night out in Sheffield. It was a huge shock for everyone associated with cricket.
RIP Ben!

They should've abandoned that test against NZ, it was such a shock and English players must have found it extremely difficult losing someone so young. Some things are more important than the game.

Must be sad for his family to see that some theives have stolen his old cricket gear. Was a good talent and would have certainly made it for England in the one dayers and T20 format. RIP Ben.

================
it was a brilliant knock, as was the one for surrey in the one one day final.
a lot of people thought he was going to be a very special player.
a bit callous to say it, but ive always wondered (and this was why he was still alive) whether adam ever regretted not giving him a more prominant role in the one day side when he was captain and when ben was full of confidence.
Anyway, RIP kid
