I'm a big cricket fan too but I don't remember Peter Lever, he played back in the 70s, I'm only old enough to remember the 80s.

He was a good fast bowler though by all accounts as well as being a good bloke.


In the pre-helmet era, a bouncer from Lever hit New Zealand's Ewen Chatfield on the head during a Test in Auckland in 1975 with emergency requirement required to save the tailender's life after his heart briefly stopped.

Writing in tribute to Lever on the BBC website, cricket broadcaster Jonathan Agnew said the Chatfield incident "nearly destroyed Peter".

Agnew added: "A few years later, in a famous game between Derbyshire and Lancashire, it snowed and left the pitch as something of a lottery.

"Peter refused to bowl because he thought it was too dangerous."

He toured Australia for the 1974/75 Ashes also. The Chatfield incident was during the New Zealand leg of that tour in late-Feb. Lever only played one further test (during the home 1975 Ashes series).

[Can hardly believe it's been 50 years since Lillee, Thomson & co destroyed England during that infamous 74/75 series. Most of the English bowling line up has now passed - Bob Willis, Tony Grieg, Mike Hendrick, Fred Titmus and most recently Derek Underwood. Only Geoff Arnold (80) and Chris Old (76) still with us.]

Australian martial arts legend, fight trainer for some of Hollywood’s top stars including Margot Robbie and Charlize Theron, and close friend of Jackie Chan and Chuck Norris, Richard Norton has died in Melbourne.

He was 75

His wife was judy green

For the russian bots google sale of the century and alby mangels
 
I thought he died years ago

Richard that is

I also had thought Richard Chamberlain had died in the early 2000s until a couple of years ago.

He did a great job playing one of the most hate-able movie characters of all time in the form of the corrupt and cowardly Roger Simmons in 'The Towering Inferno' in 1974, the electrical engineer responsible for the entire disaster. My first experience of The Towering Inferno was watching it on video at a house party as a kid back in the 1980s. The teenagers and older kids all cheered when Simmonds was first punched in the face by his father-in-law, the CEO Jim Duncan (William Holden), then when he fell hundreds of floors to a well-deserved death.

Spoilers! People might not have seen The Towering Inferno yet.
