Botham is heavily critical of the TCCB and the way in which the England team regressed during years of mismanagement. He reviews events both at home on the county scene and abroad and, in his new role as technical advisor, he gives a firsthand account of the 1997 summer battle for the Ashes.
Looking ahead, Botham outlines his ten-point plan for the future structure of English cricket, involving major issues like the pay of county cricketers and a two-way tier county championship, and the reports on the results of a questionaire sent to the chairman, chief executive and captain of every county assessing what is wrong with the game in this country.
A new chapter for this paperback edition highlights the progress English cricket has made since Botham’s involvement, as reflected in the team’s performance on the 1997/98 winter tour to the West Indies.
Ian Botham thrilled crowds all over the world with his magnificent exploits during nearly two decades at the top of international cricket. Since his retirement from the first-class game in 1993, he has watched England lurch from bad to worse, a decline that culminated in a disastrous 1995 World Cup campaign, a home series defeat by Pakistan in 1996, followed by another lost Ashes campaign in 1997.
What is wrong with English cricket? In 'The Botham Report', the great all-rounder comes up with some typically forthright answers. He confronts what he regards as one of the biggest scandals in international sport, the enslavement of professional cricketers to their county clubs and the English cricket Board. He also points the finger at the men he believes must take the blame for England's low standing in international cricket.
Backed by several leading counties Botham narrowly failed to win election to the national selection committee, but through his appointment as coaching advisor to the English team he has been given the chance to play a part in shaping the future of English cricket. In his report, he explains precisely how he would set about galvanising England's top cricketers. Interviewing a range of sportsmen at the top of their profession, he will demonstrate the ideal psychological approach and what is needed to become a winner in sport.
Botham has invited the chairman, chief executive, and captain of every county club to participate in a survey to identify the deep divisions threatening to tear cricket apart. It will be controversial, hard-hitting and thought provoking...and Botham's revolutionary ideas to save a game in crisis will create a blueprint for the future structure of the game.
As a player, Ian Botham was renowned for his ability to change the nature of a game by his sheer force and presence. This is a book that is set to shape the face of English cricket for the next generation.
Peter Hayter, who collaborated with Ian Botham in writing this book, has already worked with the great all-rounder on his autobiography, which was the biggest selling UK sports book of all time. Cricket correspondent of 'The Mail on Sunday' for the past seven years, Peter was formerly football correspondent of 'Sportsweek' magazine, and has also written for 'The Independent' and 'The Observer'. His other books include 'England's Cricket Heroes' and 'Great Tests Recalled'. He lives with his wife and two children in rural Shropshire.
