Botham turns royal avenger
Minister.
Tl was a kick in the googlics for Aussie Premier
LONDON, Mar 7: An overweight and ovcr-the-hlll cricketer has come to the rescue of his
country ;uid queen, reports AP.
Ian Botham, ridiculed by British newspapers a few weeks ago as better suited to performing on a pantomime stage than a playing field, almost single-handedly led England to victory over host ’ Australia in a World Cup crickci match.
But. to Britain's Infamous tabloids. Il was much more than a cricket triumph - it ms a royal avenging.
The tabloids - have raged in recent weeks against Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating, who broke protocol by putting his arm around Queen Elizabeth II during her February trip lo Australia.
Keating also has been attacked by London newspapers for saying England deserted Australia, a member of the British Commonwealth, during World War 11.
So when Botham look ihc wickets of four Australians in Just seven balls Thursday, and then scored 53 runs to lead England lo an eight-wickcl victory in Sydney, the tabloids reacted with glee.
"Royal avenger Botham stuffs the Aussies," the Daily Star screamed in a front-page headline. "It was Rule Brltahnia all the way as Botham turned royal avenger.
The Today newspaper added, "Cricket hero Ian Botham gave Australia a right royal thrashing yesterday, shattering the ego of a nation which snubbed his sovereign."
Botham's heroics were even more dramatic because he had been written off tn recent years as a faded star who relied more on reputation than talent.
Once the heart of the English cricket team, the 36-ycur-old Botham has been struggling to regain his place on the national squad while spending much of his time raising money for charity and performing on the stage.
He arrived in Australia late because he was acting In Jack and the Beanstalk Ih Bournemouth. England. Overweight and out of shape, he was ridiculed for playing gulf instead of taking extra' batting practice.
The Sun, another tabloid, warned tn late January; "If Botham doesn't knuckle down, he should be sent home to rehearse for the next pantomime season."
But ail was forgotten Friday, and The Sun aimed its ire al Keating. Il loosely employed the cricket term googly. a deceptive type of toss similar to a breaking pitch in baseball, to ridicule the Australian Prime
Paul Keating." the lublokl said, adding thin British Prime Minister John Major Interrupted a cabinet meeting with news of the vk-tory.
The Sun also quoted former British Prime Minister Margaret Thalchcr as saying. "The world's' a better place when we bent the Australians al crickci."
The Star, which devoted five pages Fridny to the exploits of "Beefy" Botham, penned an editorial to Australians and the Prime Minister fl dubbed “anti British bigmouth Keating."
“We warned'you last week that a terrible punishment was coming your way for your pre tentlous premier's redneck rudeness to Ihc queen jukI our Far East War dead." said Hie Star. “We suspect there might have been a few bellows of gratitude for Big Beefy In Buckingham Palace yesterday.
