@mannyposh the bowling cant have been up to much on a village green
-
also, fair play on the Picca comments....it was Dilley that started to counter-attack by flailing his bat (as Both said once, Dilley didn't know which end of the bat to pick up)
RIP Graham

watch henry Lawson bowling beamers...bastard!

One of my three sporting heroes, the other two being Steve Ovett and Alex Higgins. And all for the same reason - they didn't give a CRAP.
-
What gets me is how classic the strokes were. Beautiful strokeplay. WHAT a player!!
-
While Botham is sometimes a bit of a pain - he has always said that alot of the way he played in this match was due to Graham Dilley and maintains that Dilley was never given enough credit for his performance.

r.i.p. Graham Dilley...

I'm sure beefy won't mind me hijacking a tribute to him in order to say: RIP Graham Dilley, a true childhood hero.

I remember Botham's innings as if it was yesterday. And the fact that Graham Dilley, whose sad death was announced today. was at the other end and playing his finest innings for England too.
For those who argue about Botham I hope for their sake they were old enough to see him in his pomp. From ace fast bowler at the beginning to our greatest all-rounder. Legend? I know he inspired the country at the time. When you are the best other words are superfluous.
RIP Graham Dilley.

RIP Graham Dilley at the opposite end for most of this innings, as important a knock as Botham's.

I can remember watching this aged 11 years old. After watching it, my mum even allowed me to sit up and watch the highlights the same night. And, of course, did the very same thing the next day :)
He immediately became, and has remained, my all-time hero ever since.
