Last updated at 08:46 13 March 2007
Unlike more 肉体的に-需要・要求するing sports, cricket has a rich tradition of showcasing the talents of the いっそう少なく-than lithe.
Yesterday, Bermuda's 19-石/投石する bowling hero Dwayne Leverock joined the likes of W G Grace and 'Beefy' Ian Botham in the 階級s of corpulent cricketing legends after (人命などを)奪う,主張するing the wickets of two of England's finest batsmen.

And Dwayne, who earns a living as a 刑務所,拘置所 先頭 driver, (人命などを)奪う,主張するs he psyched out Kevin Pietersen when he took his wicket in his country's World Cup warm-up game against England on Monday.
The slow bowler also collected the prized wicket of in-form Paul Collingwood to 記録,記録的な/記録する impressive bowling 人物/姿/数字s of 2-32.
But it was the wicket of Pietersen, 階級d in the world's 最高の,を越す three one-day batsmen, that gave him the most 楽しみ.
England's middle order were given problems by the left-arm spinner, whose ungainly 外見 is very much a throwback to a bygone 時代.
His physique says much for the 大部分は recreational nature of the game in Bermuda.
Yet while he barely fits the mould of the modern professional, his 巨大(な) でっちあげる,人を罪に陥れる belies a cricketing talent.
The 35-year-old may need hiding in the field and look 害のない enough, but he 明確に relished the 適切な時期 to bowl at 実験(する)-class batsmen and his obvious enjoyment brought hope にもかかわらず his team's shortcomings.
"I enjoyed myself and just relaxed," he said. "It was the first time I have played against a team like this.
"I settled into a rhythm and when I settled I took wickets. The wicket was turning a little bit."
(人命などを)奪う,主張するing the wicket of Pietersen, one of the most destructive players in the world, was a moment he 明白に 心にいだくd.
"He was trying to get at me," Leverock said as he 反映するd on the way he adjusted his 配達/演説/出産 to have Pietersen stumped.
Bermuda 誇る just one professional player in Glamorgan captain David Hemp and their 最近の 業績/成果s against fellow minnows have 示唆するd they may 井戸/弁護士席 be out of their depth in the World Cup.
Yet the 政府 have been keen to 投資する in the game in the 群島 and a reasonable showing could do the game a 力/強力にする of good.
Hemp is 明白に the 重要な man, but 裁判官ing by his 業績/成果 against England, Leverock could help Bermuda make some sort of impression.
He may look the very antithesis of a sportsman but, as 罰金 人物/姿/数字s of two for 32 showed, he has 本物の ability.
