I think it was Graham Darling. May be I am messing up with the first name. Do not know the way he was saved

Warrick Darling was hit by bob willis and the impact caused his chewing gum to get lodged in the breathing cavity and he was choking to his death!!
John emburey of england at squareleg quickly summed up what was happening and gave Rcik Darling a hearty thump on the back a couple of times. Out popped the chewing gum and rick Darling was saved.
