John Kenneth Lever MBE (born 24 February 1949) is an English former international cricketer who played Test and One-Day cricket for England.
Lever was a left-arm fast-medium bowler who predominantly swung the ball into right-handed batsmen.
Cricket correspondent Colin Bateman remarked that "for 23 years he plied his trade with Essex, becoming the finest left-arm pace bowler in the country.
Tough, astute, and entertaining in the dressing room, Lever was, as the title of his autobiography suggests, A Cricketer's Cricketer".
