Now we have thrown off the EUSSR shackles we are free to deal with the world once more. This is the sort of thing brexit was about not the BS the remoaners keep spouting.

“Gave up”

What makes you think we'll listen to him
Probably deliver a load of "pork pies"

[davebro]

I don't think Mr Botham would fit "into" a bat of any description - excuse my pedantry!

Brexit was about finding employment for retired sportsmen?

[1ozzy]

Seems to be working, so far

It's a shame it can't now happen, but if they really wanted to beat down the Aussies, they should've sent Bob Willis over after Beefy.

Put Freddie Flintoff in charge of our beaches.

mozz: well beefy made it possible or Willis would have not been relevant but I take your point.

[Mozz71]

Tora- agreed, but using the same rationale, without Willis' 8 for 43 in the final innings, no-one would remember Beefy's innings. It was a combination of two astounding performances.
