Because they can't both be right about everything all the time.

But what happened to cause the dislike initially?

But what happened to cause the dislike initially?

Amazingly enough it started over beer.

At the centre of the dispute between the pair is the incident that started it back in 1977 when a 21-year-old Botham was playing for Melbourne University after being sent over from England on a scholarship and Chappell was 33, having already retired from first class cricket.

Botham injured himself batting against Chappell's side and was told to immobilise his arm, so put it in a sling after his dismissal - which Chappell noticed - before returning to open the bowling.
"My first instinct was, 'well hello, we might have a bit of a pea-heart here'," Chappell says with a grin.

The next time they saw each other was at the bar in the Hilton Hotel in Melbourne less than a week later and Chappell, already unimpressed by Botham's character, says he overheard the Englishman "going on about how weak Australian beer was", a point-of-view that triggered the patriotic ex Test captain of Australia.

Chappell approached him and the pair got in an argument, which ended with Botham pushing the physically smaller Aussie over a table.

Where the story gets murky is Chappell's claim that Botham threatened him by putting an empty beer glass to his face, a claim that Botham describes as "bullshit".

I'm thinking of starting a GoFundMe page to get my cataracts removed as my arseh*le health fund who I've been with for ten years and hardly claimed a cent won't cover me. I've upgraded my plan to get them done but have to wait a year. Meanwhile I could go blind.

 

[Gralin]

Public won't do it or even longer wait?

 

[raskolnikov]

Public won't do it or even longer wait?

Even longer. I have a friend who is on the public waiting list and been waiting for years.

Chatting with my plumber, he said that a car ran into the back of his van and the impact was so hard his iPhone rang emergency services. Is that a real thing?

Don’t reckon. I ditch mine pretty hard all the time when I’m watching footy and haven’t had an ambulance rock up yet
