Love Clive Lloyd's comment in the post-match interview - when asked by Peter West to describe Viv Richards' batting he initially says that words can't really explain how great Richards is. Then when West congratulates Viv at 35:10 by saying 'your genius transcends parochialism, it's a joy to watch you perform', Lloyd comes in with perfect timing: 'oh that was the phrase I was looking for!' Wonderful timing with words as well as the willow!
Straightforward run chase, but Botham manages to make it uncomfortable by needlessly larruping it in the air. When did sides get clinical about this stuff? Plus, where was Lamb at Trent Bridge?
And again at Lord's, Botham totally over-cooking it. Lots of time left, a few wickets down. No need for the big heroics. He was capable of moving through the gears as well. Some dodginess elsewhere too. Randall backing away to leg and (surprise surprise) nicking it behind. Bairstow walking across his stumps and getting bowled behind his legs. Tsk.

Great catch by Derek Randall at 23:20
But you can barely see it. We've only got Richie's word for it.
Oh i do miss West Indian fans in England.
That's the 1st time i've ever seen Botham not wearing a helmet against the West Indies
