Can't wait. It returns, back at 8-30 Thursday Nov 25th for the Ashes Edition. God help me I hope it goes for the entire cricket season.

I really hope they do it for the entire season, it's soo good!!!
I was at a test at Trent Bridge in the early 2000s , steadily rained the whole time .Should be good. Botham's a great bloke. It always disappoints me that two of the men I've admired the most in cricket, Botham and Chappell, can't stand each other.
Part of me hopes they ask Botham about commentating alongside Ian Chappell. It's probably the most painfully awkward commentary stint in channel 9's 40 years covering cricket.
That age hasn't mellowed either of them is part of their appeal.I recall Thommo saying in an interview once that most of Botham's mates are also Chappelli's mates, and it annoyed the hell out of him that the two of them wouldn't speak to each other. They had a run in about 40 years ago and you'd think they would have mellowed by now
I was at a test at Trent Bridge in the early 2000s , steadily rained the whole time .
Botham walked near us so we yelled to him ' beefy come over for a chat we will buy you a beer ' he had a good laugh .
20 minutes later he reappeared and came over for a chat and a photo , seemed a really friendly guy . He asked if us aussies wanted a ball by ball rundown of Headingly 81
And in Thommo's most articulate way he describes it as a 'pain in the a*se for everyone else 'I recall Thommo saying in an interview once that most of Botham's mates are also Chappelli's mates, and it annoyed the hell out of him that the two of them wouldn't speak to each other.

Funny thing is Chappell and Botham can't even agree on how their feud started.
Did Andy Maher ever say what clubs cap he was wearing?

I can't remember if it was on Nine but there was a stint recently where somehow Boycott and Chappelli ended up in the box at the same time. Chappelli immediately went for the jugular (can't remember exactly what, might have been personally attacking him for running Randall out on debut) and Boycott then filibustered the rest of the segment with a pointless anecdote not letting anyone get in a word edgewise and they kept them from being in the box the rest of the time.Part of me hopes they ask Botham about commentating alongside Ian Chappell.

I went to Lords to see Viv Richards at his peak play for Somerset against Middlesex. He made a paltry 8.I went Guildford to see Surrey play Warwickshire in a Sunday League game when Lara was in the middle of the golden run of centuries that included his 501 and he made a scratchy three ball duck.
I've got a signed copy of The Whole Hogg and underneath his signature he's written 41@12.85, 79/79 Don't f***en forget it.Would like to see Rodney Hogg on the Front Bar. Very funny man who hates a drink and would be well suited in that environment.
Was at a Boxing Day test a few years ago and Hoggy walked up to the bar, bought a couple of beers and stood there for about 20 minutes drinking, talking with strangers around him. Just seems like a rippa bloke who loves to have a yarn with anyone.I've got a signed copy of The Whole Hogg and underneath his signature he's written 41@12.85, 79/79 Don't f***en forget it.
