Leonard Stephen Pascoe (born February 13, 1950, Bridgetown, Western Australia, as Leonard Stephen Durtanovich) is a former Australian Test and ODI cricketer.
Pascoe played in 14 Tests and 29 ODIs between 1977 and 1982, during which time he transferred to World Series Cricket[1]. In the 1980 Centenary Test at The Oval in London, he took 5/59 in the 1st innings. Pascoe retired from international cricket due to a knee injury after the 1981/82 Frank Worrell Trophy series in Australia.
Geoff Lawson spoke in his autobiography Henry of how the fast-bowler Pascoe, the son of Macedonian[2] immigrants, was subject to baiting about his origins, especially from the Chappell brothers. He once famously stated that "a tiger never changes its spots."
