metaframe Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 It would be difficult for Starc to hump anybody. Most of the time, he has big trouble getting it in the right channel. It often ends up well outside leg or squirts all over the covers. he's better when he has a third man to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PopePiusX Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Ian Botham was a hero as a player and an absolute anti-hero as a commentator. Ricky Ponting is fast becoming the opposite, excellent pundit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PopePiusX Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Also, who wants to watch Ian Botham being absolutely surgically dismantled by a series of Scottish children? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.. Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Only time I ever watched cricket was when Botham played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlsdreamer Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 It wasn't a dig at us. His team who he had played for had just beaten a CC side, be it a friendly. Don't get paranoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southportdc Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) Botham is a brilliant commentator. Nasser will be waffling along about some psychological crap and Botham will interrupt to tell him it's crap. You need him to keep the others honest.

I absolutely cannot stand him, I think he's boorish and boring. None of them are fit to lace Richie's boots anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james o connor Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 If there's one other person who's influenced me in that way I think, someone who is a maverick, someone who does "that" to the system, then, it's Ian Botham. Because Beefy will happily say "that's what I think of your selection policy, yes I've hit the odd copper, yes I've enjoyed the old dooby, but will you wee wee off and leave me alone.

Guest Distraught! Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Met him in our pub a few years back. Nice bloke. Met him in the Trent Bridge pavilion long room with Viv Richards in 1979. Both of them were nice guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelphi1867 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Botham is a Tory, so his views on a 'working class' sport dose'nt matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
