Phantom 2,533 Posted October 15, 2015 Is he living in Thailand these days or was he on holiday? For someone who was put in a hospice a few weeks ago because his wife had to travel on business, he still seems fit enough to be considered able to fly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GossipGabe 333 Posted October 15, 2015 so is Martin Crowe really on the brink of death or is this just everyones wishful thinking?Well, we don't get any news about him, but he has incurable lymphoma (specifically, his follicular lymphoma has turned into a double hit lymphoma*) doesn't write articles (or blog posts) anymore, he can't take care of himself so he is entirely reliant on his wife. And he doesn't even get someone to update his website. A former world class New Zealand cricketer and captain, he was recently diagnosed with lymphoma and has bravely won his battle with cancer. He is now available to tell his story as a speaker, mentor and motivator. http://www.martincrowe.com Ouch. _____________ *Footnote: He claimed that only 5% of DHL patients survive for 12 months after diagnosis. See this article here: http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/810679.html But he is much younger than the average DHL demographic (they are usually very old with several comorbidities), and newer studies cite slightly longer median survival times. http://www.gotoper.com/publications/ajho/2015/2015apr/clinical-controversies-of-double-hit-lymphoma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest Posted October 17, 2015 Martin Crowe was having dinner with friends when he was taken ill. Doesn't sound like he's at deaths door just yet. Typically people in their final days are bed ridden not out having dinner at a restaurant. I think you've all been getting your hopes up a tad too high ! (having said that he will of course drop dead today ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,614 Posted October 17, 2015 Ugh, I want to change my prediction but I feel like that's cheating, since it was made already, like, 2 days ago. I'll think about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could well be.My money would be on either him or Bhumibol. Nah, the fact that Martin has survived this long proves that he's not as close to death as we thought. He will make 2016. Bhumibol? Maybe. I personally think it will be a big tease and a woman, so Valerie Harper or Zsa Zsa Gabor (preferably Zsa Zsa because she's a 'big one') Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,967 Posted November 20, 2015 Crowe watch: He texted Ross Taylor, who broke Crowe's old record: http://m.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=11546434 Crowe also indirectly awards a young talent with a $15000 sponsorship, but is unable to congratulate that talent personally and was "unable to be interviewed" yesterday. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11548781 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainChorizo 1,977 Posted November 21, 2015 My DDP placement is riding on him. If he goes before Dec 31 it all but gurantees me a top 10 finish and would put me currently in the top 5. If he survives I could still be knocked out of the top 10 before the year ends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadGuy 1,614 Posted November 21, 2015 Oh, he'll survive the year. Seemed impossible just a few months ago but it's getting more and more likely. He'll be #2 on my list, right after J-Cartz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he survives I could still be knocked out of the top 10 before the year ends. Ah, the long game, with all the twists and turns of a decent five dayer that still comes down to the final ball. The way he'd doubtless want it, assuming he knew about us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Youth in Asia 1,086 Posted December 31, 2015 My prediction - he's the new Wilko Johnson. His cancer will be miraculously cured by Mother Teresa from beyond the grave (her grave not his), further bolstering her claims to sainthood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Mother Teresa is involved, Crowe will die quicker than expected, and in terrible pain and agony. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
