Ian Botham

Botham reached the Test double of 1,000 runs and 100 wickets faster than anyone in terms of matches, and his 1981 Ashes, with 149 not out at Headingley and 5 for 1 at Edgbaston, remains the most famous all-round summer in English cricket. His swing bowling and aggressive batting were both match-winning in his first years; later, injuries reduced his bowling.
