    Brilliant bowler, boyhood hero. I remember that Aussie game like yesterday. From memory he also got a first class hundred. RIP deadly.
    Yes he did – in virtually his final game.

    Strangely he bowled left handed but batted right handed.🤔

    I used to hang around the Oval car park after Surrey games and even test matches in the late sixties/early seventies collecting autographs from cricketers. Derek Underwood was in my autograph books at least twice! Sadly the books, like most of the cricketers, are gone.

    RIP Deadly. Thanks for the autographs but even more thanks for being such a fine cricketer.

    Absolutely ludicrous bowler. We've lost a real great. RIP Deadly.
