Former England captain Lord Botham was one of the most impactful all-rounders of his generation, with 14 centuries and 383 wickets in a career that spanned over 15 years. Throughout the 1980s, Lord Ian was part of a golden generation of all-rounders in world cricket. The 1981 Ashes, which England won 3-1, have since come to be known as Botham’s Ashes for his starring performances with bat and ball.
In 2007, Botham was knighted for his services to cricket and to charity.
Join Lord Ian, as he discusses his amazing career and everything in between.
Dinner organiser Sarah Thomas said: “We are truly excited that Lord Ian has agreed to speak at our annual cricket dinner and we have moved it from its normal September staging to next March to ensure he was free. We are also delighted that Abode have backed us as the main dinner sponsor once more.
“We know this event will be very popular among our loyal dinner supporters. The dinner is open to all, both males and females, and tables are for 10 but we will endeavour to accommodate any number people may require.”
Abode’s Managing Director Grant Keys said: “We are confident a very exciting evening awaits with one of England cricket’s greatest names. We are delighted to confirm our support as main dinner sponsor once again. Swardeston is a club which does so much to promote the development of men’s, women’s and youth cricket in the local area and we at Abode are very pleased to help celebrate the club’s ongoing successes.”
