An Audience with Lord Ian Boatham

Lord Ian Botham, the former England captain, was one of the most impactful
all-rounders of his generation with 14 centuries and 383 wickets in a career that
spanned over 15 years.

Through the 1980s, he was part of a golden generation of all-rounders in world
cricket. The 1981 Ashes, which England won 3-1, have since come to be known
as Botham’s Ashes for his starring performances with bat and ball.

In 2007, Botham was knighted for his services to cricket and to charity.

Prolific with both bat and ball, Ian Botham was the fastest to the double of 1000
runs and 100 wickets. He broke the World Record for most Test wickets, and
finished his career with 5,200 runs and 383 wickets.

Join Lord Ian, as he discusses his amazing career, and everything in between.

Your host for the evening:      Cricket legend Geoff Miller OBE.
