Description

Among the cast of characters who feature in Botham's own Who's Who of cricket are top players such as Viv Richards, Brian Close and Shane Warne along with umpire Dickie Bird and the late John Arlott. Others associated with cricket include Mick Jagger, Sir Paul Getty and Nancy (who used to cook the lunches at Lord's and was responsible for many a cricketer's expanding waistline); and many more who in Beefy's opinion have been a positive influence in the game during his era.
