Sir Ian Botham’s exploits . . . . The source of the most joy amongst my dad, uncles and great uncles over a tumbler of scotch every birthday and xmas !
You can’t beat a bit of Beefy!

4m12 caught and bowled …. incredible stuff!
@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.
good for walking and pantos in theatres……never a cricket legend!!!!
@2310mjh obviously u dont know ur cricket. he done more for charity than he done 4 cricket……seriously 2310mjh please… o.d.i records he is not even on the top 60 wicket takers of all time batting…well he not even in the top 100…. test tecords not even in the top 50 in bowling and batting not even going to bother disrespecting the good old english game but u do if u say he is the best all rounder ever!!!! what has dis guy done and acheived?? product of british media..boosted overated…
@MrKami1981 you guys, please state the facts,runs,wickets,catches,millions raised for leukemia research…..best all rounder to ever to walk the earth!!
Mr kami sounds like a knob.
@MrKami1981 lol
4.18 Simple epic!
you guys need to wake up…this guy is never a cricket legend maybe an english legend…this guy was never quick and consistent….and batting well records and facts speak the truth…best all rounders in the world please….
One word… Legend
he is a great criket player
Love a bit of beef. Especially the hooks he used to play about an inch of his nose!!
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.
oh..my god the telecast is horrible…only one camera??
1:22 lol smiling as he plays a shot
my all time hero simply bloody marvellous!
amazing video best all rounder i have ever seen
An inspirational brilliant all round cricketer as your ever likely to see.
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
