Russell Dwayne Mark Leverock (born 14 July 1971) is a Bermudian former cricketer. He also served as a policeman and prison van driver. He was popularly nicknamed by his teammates as "Sluggo" during his playing days.
Living above an Indian restaurant in Bermuda, Leverock worked as a jailer during his time on the team. At the 2007 Cricket World Cup he was the largest player to grace the pitch, weighing in at 20 stone (280 pounds or 127 kg). However he is not regarded as the heaviest man to ever play international cricket. West Indies right-arm off-break bowler Rahkeem Cornwall weighs over 140 kg and Warwick Armstrong weighed about 22 stone. Leverock's most memorable moment came during the group stage match against India, where he took a one-handed stunning, diving catch which became one of the talking points during the tournament and was praised globally. His catch at 2007 Cricket World Cup is regarded as one of the greatest catches of all time.
