The Teaboy Feb 2016 2:48pm, 9 Feb 2016 13,612 posts	Quote Pin The Teaboy Beefy's ODI record was pretty average. Actually, make that sub-par for a man of his abilities. Mind you, Botham's test record post 1982 is pretty average too.
Wriggling Snake Feb 2016 2:54pm, 9 Feb 2016 11,072 posts	Quote Pin Wriggling Snake Indeed, he got carried away on numerous occasions, especially trying to outdo Viv on the six-hitting front. we're making a bit of a hash of it.....
Nicholls595 Feb 2016 2:55pm, 9 Feb 2016 1,750 posts	Quote Pin Nicholls595 Nothing average about Beefy's 1985 look. Stripey blazer, moustache and blond permed mullet
TRO Saracen Feb 2016 2:58pm, 9 Feb 2016 12,294 posts	Quote Pin TRO Saracen I've forgotten, or forgiven the ODI World Cup final (79?). West Indies posted a huge total which was probably going to win anyway, but we had Boycott and Brearley ambling along at 2 an over with no sense of urgency while the run rate soared to unthinkable levels and the likes of Beefy sat in the Pavilion. Aarrggghhhh.....
Ceratonia Feb 2016 3:02pm, 9 Feb 2016 3,073 posts	Quote Pin Ceratonia Boycott's one day 100 was at the SCG, Randall (who was run out) was his opening partner and he was facing Lillee & Thomson, England got 264-7. Derek Randall got 42 off 76 balls, scoring quite a lot slower than Boycott. Australia were 192 all out in response.
