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

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 ?

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.
