    @MrKami1981 I think you will find he is 13th in test wickets taken-so perhaps you are not as hot on the facts as you think you are.Oh yes,and he still holds the record for being the quickest to 1000 runs and 100 test wickets.

    I wonder if Botham wore a box against Lillee

    He did most of his damage around the world before 1985, imagine if fitness levels had been demanded like they are nowadays. Surely he would have been the first bowler to go past the 400wickets mark…..After all, he went on to play till 1992(i think) for England!

    Imagine how far some of those shots would have gone had Beefy been using the bats of today… astounding power. Same with Viv Richards, those two would have made Chris Gayle look like Chris Tavare.

    Around 2005 I thought Flintoff was better (I was too young to see Beef in his prime), but the more I see of footage like this it’s clear Botham is the greatest all rounder England ever produced
