Bothams Ashes - the forgotten man

[Grazer]

30 years ago Botham spanked the Aussies all over the park scoring 149 to help set up an England win from an impossible position. I say help because what seems to get overlooked so often (and I didn't even realise this) was that Bob Willis took an astonishing 8-43!!!

No one seems to mention Bobs haul when the 1981 Headingly Test gets talked about. He deserves some recognition for this

Remember it well Grazer, the most amazing test match turnaround ever.
