Arguably the most regular and successful specialist batsman in Test history to have never made a century. Bruce Laird maybe.
Chauhan had Covid-19.

Neil Sachse who became a quadriplegic in 1975 when playing for Footscray.

Was sad to read that. He did so much work for advocating spinal injury research. Deep respect for what he fought to achieve in his life despite his debilitating injury.

Neil Sachse who became a quadriplegic in 1975 when playing for Footscray.

That is sad. That was the earliest football tragedy I recall growing up. Other was Robert Rose.
My layman observation is 45 years is a long time to live with quadraplgia given the complications that it can generate ?

That really astonished me. Had it for 4 years. Bastard of a disease.

Personally I thought BP (like most of MCU movies) was rubbish but he was good in Draft day and as Jackie Robinson in 42 and of course as James Brown in Get on up.

I like the MCU films (was a keen collector of Marvel comics in my teens), found BP a fairly weak entry, but thought Boseman did a good job with what he had to work with, even though imo he was miscast.
