But Botham has many memorable innings and was a once upon an era player. Definitely the greatest all-rounder of England. Botham's Ashes is a thing that happens rarely. Botham was good, but he’s England’s #3 best all rounder. WG is first obviously, and Wilf Rhodes is second. Vastly underrated cricketer, who played his last test 31 years after his first. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilfred_Rhodes?wprov=sfti1When I say Botham was England's finest I mean only in context of international cricket and specifically Test cricket. Although I was not clear on that. Botham scored a century in every 11.5 innings while Rhodes scored a century once in every 49 innings. Botham took 5 wickets in an innings in every 6 innings he bowled While Rhodes did get a 5-fer once in every 15 innings he bowled. Botham was a very impact player in international Tests and often dragged an otherwise not so great team to victory. Yes, if you count entire cricket career then WG Grace and Rhodes are indeed better than Botham.
