Respect for Botham.

playing the hook shot is tricky; if you miss you will have a battered nose or face. but the more dangerous something is, it seems to be more challenging. botham hitting those hookshots off dennis lillee, one of the fastest of his times and that too without a helmet and with no restrictions on number of bouncers per over.... it seems cricket was a different game in the 80s and 70s. WOW!!!

@DKLillee355 No ,the only way to play bouncers is never take your eye off the ball!Ever!Its impossible for a human to propell a cricket ball faster than the eye can see!

@GILLYRUTH @ very well said
-
I BOW my head to Botham,he is facing Lillee with out helmet,as his expression say he is not scared of bouncers,in those days you can bowl as many bouncers as you want !
-
wow!!that requires a lot of guts..if the ball had hit him,he would have been dead!!
-
That was quite an innings, against the best bowler in the world. Not chanceless, few of Botham's ever were - as I remember there were two offered, one to long off and another to third man, both difficult with the ball flying at one hundred miles an hour or coming down with snow on it.
The sixes will live long in the memory but I think the best shot was a one bounce four off of Dennie Lillee....it went straight down the ground and almost took the great man's head off.

turn your head away and swing and hope.

Hooking Dennis Lillee without a helmet?!!!!

No helmet, no arm guard, no inner thigh pad, rolled up tea-towel for a thigh pad, Duncan Fearnley Magnum in hand, a wheel barrow full of guts and utterly fearless.
IT Botham c Marsh b Whitney 118
Magnificent.
