Botham used to open the batting for the Poms in the mid 80’s.

He opened for the poms in 92 WC too. Took forever.

Srikkanth hit a boundary opening once too.

Lance Cairns at 3 under Howarth era to boot. You're welcome.

that was the same time as NZ - same world cup - he did it to us in a series here, and we had tried Richard Reid - but yeah around 1989-90 was when it started I think

Prior to that of course Greenidge was always agressive and old Glenn Turner liked going over the infield but not with the same power

Hales gone now too - they need another partnership, but set up to go close

90/91 in Aus for Reid.

Turner was a chip in between in and out field.

I was wrong? You're the champ who reckons McCuioellum was the first to go hard in thecearly overs. Or was that Darth Greatbatch?

Why you upset?

England invented cricket.

NZ gave cricket powerplay hitting.

Aus gave us sledging.
