'I would not wish this on my worst enemy' - Winston Davis

Winston Davis will forever be known in the annals of World Cup cricket as the first bowler to pick up a seven-wicket haul, with 7 for 51 against Australia at Leeds during the 1983 World Cup. However, his life since has not been as heady, as a 39-year-old Davis lost the use of his legs because of a freakish gardening accident. Chloe Saltau, from the Sydney Morning Herald investigates further.

''I went up in a tree to prune a branch. I was standing no higher than seven feet off the ground. There was no visible sign of danger, really, but unfortunately for me the branch I was cutting was entangled with another branch. When the one I was cutting fell to the ground it ripped the other one from above, out of the trunk, and that came crashing down on the back of my head and drove me to the ground. I believe that is what broke my neck."
