Blofeld & Baxter "Geoffrey Boycott - England Captain"

Henry Blofeld and Peter Baxter discuss one of Geoffrey Boycott's first test matches as England captain.

[@paullinford4510]

Boycott's version of events (according to his autobiography): "The series was squared at Christchurch, where we won by 174 runs after a declaration and where Ian Botham, in his second Test overseas, claims to have run me out on purpose - a story that gets bigger and more fanciful with every telling."

"I've been sent to run you out, you bastard". Boycs notoriously slow. Had to go for the good of the team. Boycott, a great player but not known for scoring quick runs.

It's not true...

Too many apocryphal stories, I'm afraid...

Two high tories bemoaning one of the great England players. What did Blofeld ever do?

What has politics got to do with it, you idiot ?

Blowers was as good a commentor as Boycott was a batsman. Humour "my dear old thing", humour!
