Doug Bollinger. An absolute treat to play with, ever the entertainer and never a wicket too flat. One of the greats to don the baggy blue. Congratulations mate, look forward to celebrating with you.

First @BobbyQuiney, now Doug Bollinger. Two blokes who - no matter the wins, losses, wickets or runs - always greeted you with a massive smile, a joke & a chat. Legends.

Bollinger was also a key member of of the Chennai Super Kings side that won back-to-back IPL titles in 2010 and 2011.

"Doug Bollinger gave it all with every ball he bowled."
Can't agree more. The 4/13 against DC in the 2010 @IPL semi-final was a vital cog in the wheel. That catch off Yusuf Pathan would be etched in every yellow fan's heart! #ThankYouDoug for all the amazing memories! https://t.co/0Dsh94qY1D
