Second in a series juxtaposing sports events against the news they eclipsed.
When Ian Botham strode to the wicket for the Test against Australia in July 1981, all seemed lost. His unexpected triumph was propelled from the sports section to the news headlines. Simon Barnes talks to cricketer Graham Dilley, whose 56 at the other end to Botham was no less impressive, and sets that event in the context of the other news of the time, including the riots in Toxteth, Liverpool, the approaching wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana, and the electoral surge of the newly formed Social Democratic Party.
(A profile of the cricketer, Ian Botham: 100 Per Cent Beefy, can be seen tomorrow at 9.00pm on BBC2)
