The Typhoon has passed. Frank 'Typhoon' Tyson, the fastest bowler in the world during his peak and for some the fastest there has been, has died.

The England Test champion passed away in hospital on Australia's Gold Coast. He had lived in south-east Queensland for the latter part of his life. He was 85.

Tyson only played 17 tests, but he took a remarkable 76 wickets at an astonishing average of just 18.56.

Australian captain, allrounder and former fellow Channel Nine commentator, the late Richie Benaud, rated Tyson the quickest bowler he had seen.
