Picca always looked like he enjoyed his cricket. His delayed release when bowling must have been a twat for opposing batsmen and he played the cover drive with the grace of Gower.
RIP.
RIP.
TBf to Botham and not taking nowt away from Dilley's knock Botham even before then was more than just another cricketer
Also never realised he was that young in that Ashes test

He probably got me into cricket, as a 9 year old remember him and Beefy at the crease, was transfixed by it.

He also took a catch that came down with snow on it late in the game I remember.
A very decent cricketer and could be really fast on his day.
But what an awful loss for his family. 52 FFS.
RIP Graham. Very sad.
A very important innings from Dilley for sure. Without it, history would probably be different as England would have gone 2-0 down.
But Botham was already a top player before 1981.

Not in the slightest as Botham did a lot of amazing things in his test career including a spell of 5-1 in the final test of that series...
Didnt know about this until I read the free paper in Macdonalds yesterday
Very sudden and very sad at such a young age..

Sorry to be pedantic(I can't help it) but Botham's 5-1 was in the 4th Test at Edgbaston.
