Graham Dilley
Graham Roy Dilley (18 May 1959 – 5 October 2011) was an English cricketer, whose main role was as a fast bowler. He played first-class cricket for Kent and Worcestershire, and appeared in 41 test matches and 36 ODIs for England. He is perhaps best remembered for his tail-end batting with Ian Botham in England's second innings at Headingley in 1981, reaching his Test highest score of 56 in an eighth-wicket partnership of 117 in 80 minutes. This helped England to beat Australia despite following on and being quoted as 500-1 outsiders.
Cricket correspondent Colin Bateman, commenting on his effectiveness, noted, "... when it all worked, it worked beautifully".
