Biography

Dominant and domineering, Ian Botham was not merely the top English cricketer of the 1980s but the leading sports personality.

Botham famously led England to an astonishing Ashes victory with three performances – two with bat, one with ball – of mystical brilliance.

His batting was based on sound principles and phenomenal strength; his bowling seemed by then to be more run-in-and-hope, but batsmen remained intimidated by his early reputation to the end.

His apres-cricket activities were always turbulent, and often semipublic. Yet he has settled into a calm-ish middle age as a TV commentator.
