The former England fast bowler Peter Lever has died aged 84.
He played 17 tests and 10 one-day internationals - including the first-ever ODI played in 1971.
He took 41 test wickets and another 11 in ODIs.
Lever will be remembered in New Zealand as the bowler who struck Ewen Chatfield on the head with a bouncer in a test in Auckland in 1975.
Chatfield who was making his test debut almost died, having swallowed his tongue but was revived by the England physio.
Lever only played two more tests after that but Chatfield went on to play 43 tests in total for New Zealand - his last being 14 years later in 1989
