Botham slams Twenty20 cricket

What has 120 balls and farks cricketers?

No; it's not a shotgun.

Red?

English legend Ian Botham lashed out at the cricket administrators for shoving more and more Twenty20 down the fans' throat and said the slam-bang format, which is 'bastardising the game', has no place in international cricket.

Well said Beefy. Could'nt agree more.

FFS, if the farkin IPL wasn't around and was never conceived then 2 x T20's per tour might be palatable. But a non-stop 4 weeks+ domestic-cum-international circus is just a boil on the @rse of the great game.

Farkin ban Modi and BanIndia. They have killed any novelty this format ever had.

Aus certainly wasn't complaining when they took one days matches to 'new heights' ala the Packar circus when many a purist was still puking over it. The irony of this constant criticism of T20 vis a vis India is certainly exagerrated. Don't watch it and ignore it and put a lid on it! Blame the morons in England who invented a majority of all the cricketing ills.....

Is there anything in cricket that Botham hasn't slammed too date already?

Mrs Botham

Where're his kids from then? Liam certainly looks like him.

Liam's got a few growth rings on him though, hardly a recent arrival.

Didn't I see something the other day about Botham wanking all the way from Lands End to John O'Groats?

Maybe. He does it daily. Twice a day sometimes. Depends who he's shagged.

What an all-rounder. That's commitment.

Botham complaining about something? Whodathunkit...
