Ian Botham – England’s Greatest Ever all-Rounders

Ian Botham was an aggressive batsman and right arm medium fast bowler. Ian Botham was simply magnificent at the cricket headquarters Lord’s Test match of 1978 against Pakistan. He hammered the century 108 runs batting at No. 7 after England had slumped to 134 for 5.
His innings took the England total to 364. Then Pakistan batting crashed to 105 all out. England forced Pakistan to follow on. Sir Ian Botham took the career best bowling of 8 for 34 runs in their second innings to lead England to an innings and 120 runs triumph.
The Somerset all rounder blistering performance has become the first cricketer in the history of Test cricket, to score a century and eight wickets in an innings. His incredible all round performance make him an established all rounder on cricket scenes. England Captain Mike Brearley said, Botham colossus at the moment.
Pakistan Captain Wasim Bari Said, I have never seen a ball swing so much in the sunny weather, Botham was completely unplayable on that day. As a right hand batsman, he managed to scored 14 centuries with the career best of 208 against India in 1982.

If you are a cricket lover, then you would be curious about who will host Cricket World Cup 2027? To be honest, it hasn’t decided by ICC. The bidding has not started yet, but UAE is a serious contender to make a highest bid to host the tournament. UAE has the cricketing experience with world-class facilities being to multiple cricket matches. UAE has also hosted the Under-19 World Cup in 2014.
UAE is hosting cricket tournament since the 1980s holds the record of the greatest number of ODI’s. Moreover, Pakistan playing their home series in UAE since the attack on the Sri Lankan team in 2009. UAE is the most favorable location due to several reasons for world-class facilities, short travel distance, winter weather, whatever opportunities present themselves.
Furthermore, the 14th edition of cricket world cup 2027 is going to be hosted by South Africa expectedly. As they are having great cricket infrastructure with robust crowd support. May be ICC will make another U-turn to give the hosting to Australia again with the gap of twelve years. Australia has hosted the 2015 World Cup in a great style.
West Indies hosted the Cricket World Cup 2007 but are not considered as sole hosts due to the West Indies represents a sporting confederation of 15 chiefly English-speaking Caribbean countries, British dependencies, and non-British dependencies.
