Black Caps captain Kane Williamson says late cricket great Martin Crowe always had a positive message for the team.

Crowe died in Auckland on Thursday surrounded by family, aged 53.

His death has come after a long battle with cancer. He was diagnosed in September 2014 with terminal Lymphoma.

Crowe is survived by wife Lorraine Downes, daughter Emma and step-children Hilton and Jasmine.

"It is with heavy hearts that the family of Martin Crowe, MBE advise his death," his family said in a statement. "The family request privacy at this time."

Crowe's funeral will be held on Friday, March 11 at Auckland's Holy Trinity Cathedral.

Martin Crowe and his older brother Jeff.. both top class batsmen, both captained NZ cricket teams. Jeff is a current international match referee.

The well known (NZ/Australian) actor Russel Crowe is Martin's and Jeff's cousin.

I just read about this, Rumpole. How sad and at such a young age. :(

Sounds like many close to him were able to see and talk to him shortly before he passed.

Where I saw it (looking for NZ's next game):
