Ian Botham in his prime between 1976 and 1987 was the greatest all-rounder of all time. Time after Time he produced era defining performances with the bat and ball turning games around single handedly from the brink of defeat at the highest level. After the back injury & subsequent operation in 1988 although still able to play he was unable to reach the heights of the previous 11 years.

Beefy is one of the greatest if not the greatest all rounders to play the game.

The greatest in my opinion

Botham was a bludgeoning intimidating colossus of a player, once he got the bit between his teeth anything was possible.so many times either with bat or ball he could turn a game on its head when all looked lost. His batting was brutal when in full flow, and even the Great bowlers of the time found intimidating by his awesome big hitting and power,, nothing was safe when he got on top. He could also have blistering spells with the ball, he was ferocious and nasty and even the Great batsmen of the time hated facing him when he got his tail up. Yes Both was a fierce competitor and a brilliant exciting player. LEGEND

Won the B&H Cup, Perth Challenge Cup, Home and away ODI series against Pak, Sharjah Cup in 87 April and finalist in 87 WC.

Back in the 1990's my club had an 'Ian Botham Attack Bat' in our club bag. It was the most popular blade we had and scored goodness knows how many runs for various players. You could hit the ball a country mile with it.

Facing the best of the World of cricketing fast bowlers, Botham rarely wore a helmet!. Lovely thing is, against Australia even the Australian commentators enjoyed his batting, bowling and 'bravado'. Had the privelige of watching one of his last international one day innings at the MCG. He was clapped on by the capacity crowd and even though he didn't score that well, went off to a standing ovation!.

Hard to imagine a Pom getting a reception like that at Perth nowadays. I suspect Botham was to the Aussie crowd what Warne was to the English crowd - both great players with massive personalities that transcended the game.

Great microcosm of the daring and excitement Botham brought to this game.

Stokes is very good, botham was greatness personified. One of Britain's all time great sporting heroes

The greatest all rounder to play cricket will always be Sir Garfield Sobers. Now debate no2 downwards..

really superb hitting by Sir Ian Botham. If Sir Ian Botham had been sent No.1 as an opener he would have scored exactly 168(139)-168 runs off 139 balls in this particular match. Great opener as well in Benson & Hedges Series in Australia.... Thanks a lot...

Australia had 3 no. 11 batsmen all playing in the same team on this day (Reid, Whitney, Davis). Little wonder that Australia had a brittle batting line-up back then. I can't remember if any of them were required to bat, but I do remember Ken Maclaey's bad day getting worse that night when John Emburey took a screamer of a catch on the boundary line fence off a ball which looked headed for a six. I remember Ian Botham's innings too. The match was in the balance when he came to the wicket and he took it completely away from the Australians with some relentless strokeplay against what was a relatively stingy Australian bowling attack at that time. This probably explains why they had 3 no. 11 batsmen in their team.

One of the best sights in cricket,botham smashing boundaries awesome,and Tony gregg and Richie benauds commentary just brilliant sadly gone now tho

Great cricketer and man....many thanks for sharing!

Sir Ian Botham may have been English through and through but the Aussies love him and wished he was one of their own which can't be said for many English cricketers.

This was one of the few periods of Aussie cricket history where they lacked a quality fast bowler. Their medium-pacers held no fear for Beefy. It's also worth remembering just how bloody hot it was - wearing a helmet you trap all that heat in. I suspect that was another reason why he decided not to wear a lid.

When boundaries were boundaries - before 'health & safety' stepped in and shortened them.

What a great bowler BA Reid was

Botham was the difference between Aus and Eng in the Reliance WC final 1987.

It's a double century in today's standard.

Whitney was a great bowler, but he was a total pillock when it came to Botham. For instance, he was a pillock in 1981 when he dropped Botham at Manchester, the latter then going on to smash a magnificent hundred taking the game away from the Aussies (he also got Botham out and celebrated like he'd just taken eight wickets: Rod Marsh was not impressed). Here, five years later, you'd think he'd have learnt. Botham smashes for six over mid off and Whitney then proceeds to sledge the shit out of the guy. I remember wishing I could tell the idiot: "Mike, Mike, he's just clobbered you mate. I'd keep your mouth shut if I were you or he might do it again." Face palms all round.
