Australian Broadcasting Corporation cricket expert and newspaper columnist Peter Roebuck has died at the age of 55.
Roebuck was found dead at a hotel in Cape Town where he had been covering the Cricket (Cricket Bat & Ball Sport) two-Test series between Australia and South Africa.
He had reportedly been spoken to by police earlier and had been seen in an agitated state.
Police are now investigating Roebuck's death.
Peter Roebuck captained English county Cricket (Cricket Bat & Ball Sport) team Somerset in the 1980s before becoming a respected commentator.
His shrewd analysis was a highlight of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Radio & TV cricket coverage and Australian Broadcasting Corporation's radio: Grandstand manager Craig Norenbergs says Roebuck will be greatly missed.
During his playing days Peter Roebuck was a solid run-scorer for Somerset Cricket Team, passing 1,000 runs in nine out of 12 seasons.
He played 335 first-class Cricket matches in the UK, scoring 17,558 runs at an average of 37.27 with 33 centuries and a highest score of 221 not out.
Peter Roebuck also took 72 wickets at 49.16.
He was a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1988.
R.I.P
Peter Roebuck.

Not necessarily the best radio commentator, but certainly one of the best writers about the game. He had a rare global perspective as well.

Rest in peace Peter Roebuck. Departed this world too early.
