Cricket commentators XI

#7 Ian Botham

The legendary all-rounder is also a well-known commentator

Ian Botham is arguably the greatest all-round cricketer to have played the game and is one of English cricket’s biggest heroes. With 383 wickets, Botham was his country’s leading wicket-taker until James Anderson surpassed him last year and to add to it, he also scored more than 5000 runs with 14 centuries.

Once his glittering career came to an end, ‘Beefy’ entered the world of cricket commentary and has been doing quite a remarkable job ever since. As a commentator, Ian Botham has covered numerous Tests and limited-overs matches involving England and many major cricketing events as well.
