I remember when Birdie took the players off the field at Headingly because of a burst water main. A guy in the crowd said something about "Typical Bird, take them off for no reason" and then Dickie went back at him with 'It's not my bloody fault if there's water coming up on the pitch/wicket' Still smile at that memory,
Aussies worked out night before the bookies were offering 500-1 and they admitted years later a few had bets on allegedly - so there may have been more to this result than meets the eye.
Two legends of the best game in the world; Mr Bird and Sir Ian Botham. Brilliant!

i wonder how Beefy would go in the 20/20 set up. He would earn a fortune I think

This is definitely mid-90s, around 1995 or 1996. Perhaps 1997.
