Botham ferocious
NZPA staff correspondent London A ferocious assault by lan Botham quickly put a dampener on New Zealand’s celebration on the fourth morning of the third cricket test at The Oval, London, yesterday. New Zealand began well when Ewen Chatfield bowled both David Gower (131) and
Mike Gatting (121) within the first 35 minutes as England sought to force the pace before the expected arrival of prolonged rain. The rain duly arrived after 65 minutes, driving the players from the field but by that time England had reached 388 for five wickets, Botham hitting 59 off just 36 bails.
