Thomas Kingston, Lady Gabriella Kingston's husband, died from a "traumatic head wound", an inquest has heard.
A gun was found near to his body in an outbuilding at his parent's home in the Cotswolds.

Derek Underwood sad news, 78
Slow left-armer Underwood took 297 wickets in 86 Tests between 1966 and 1982, the most by any England spinner.
He claimed 2,465 wickets in 676 first-class matches overall, representing only Kent, the county of his birth, in a stellar 24-year domestic career.

I would think Underwood was one of the 4 best English spinners of all time ( and I know he pushed it through too fast for the purists ). Hardly a mention from the media.
