Got 2 episodes of this left. I had no idea about it so found it very very intersting!

Yeah they go into into it in the podcast with Luke Wright. Really really good listen the whole thing.

There was a photo at the time, in one of the papers of a suitcase full of money (may even have been the full 20 million $). I remember a few of the commentators being made to stand around it to look at the money. The absolute disdain on the face of Botham is unforgettable.

Excellent series that. Enjoyed it
