The New Zealand fast bowler Richard Hadlee is going up in his world — lie has received his first threatening letter. It came to him from a * man in Birmingham, claimi ing to be a lorn/ driver. Hadlee was accused of bowlinq bouncers at Geoff Boycott, but not at David Gower. The letter-writer erred in fact. He accused Hadlee of ’ coming from a nonProtestant Anglo-Saxon family, and said that if he maimed any United Kingdom batsman he “would be ; cut for life.” The writer likened Had--1 lee to the Australian Len
Pascoe, “another dirty bowler.” The New Zealand team manager (Mr Barry Paterson) gave the letter to the Nottinghamshire County secretary (Mr Philip Carling) to hand on to the poiice.
