Derek Randall scored 204* and the Notts innings closed at 364 for 4 (Botham one for 59). This was Somerset's first limited overs final and they lost by five wickets despite Botham's effort. He played in 22 World Cup matches including the finals in 1979 and 1992, both of which England lost, and he was in England's losing team in the 1983 semi-final.

Botham was the only batsman to perform at all well and scored 50, which was his first Test half-century since he had been awarded the captaincy thirteen Tests earlier. At the same age he went to matches with his father, who played for Westland Sports Club, and if one of the teams was short, he would try to get a match. "[20], In 1972, at the age of 16, Botham left school intent on playing cricket for Somerset, who retained his contract but felt he was too young to justify a full professional deal. Somerset reached 302 for four in only 65 overs and won by six wickets. [10] Importantly, the foot injury was a broken toe sustained when he trod on the ball at Headingley and Botham subsequently needed treatment for it at his local hospital in Taunton. England's first five batsmen had contributed just 51 to the total. Having scored exactly 100 in the first Test against Pakistan at Edgbaston, England winning by an innings and 57 runs, Botham in the second at Lord's scored 108 and then, after none for 17 in the first innings, achieved his Test and first-class career best return of eight for 34 in the second, England winning by an innings and 120 runs. He bowled only three overs and took some punishment from Richards, his return being one for 26. He played in nine first-class matches and scored only 434 runs at the low average of 24.11 with a highest of 65.

Botham was succeeded by Peter Roebuck as Somerset captain for 1986 but, during the season, tensions arose in the Somerset dressing room which eventually exploded into a full-scale row and resulted in the sacking by the club of Botham's friends Viv Richards and Joel Garner.

The injury put him out of the remaining ODIs (both won by England) and the first couple of Tests (which England won and drew to lead 10): then, on his comeback in a county match, another injury caused him to be unavailable for the 3rd and 4th Tests (both lost by England). He played in four Tests and England won the Ashes for the last time until 2005. [143], In 1994, the year after he retired, Botham became embroiled in a legal dispute with Imran Khan who, in an article for India Today, had accused Botham and Allan Lamb of bringing cricket into disrepute. His highest score in the season was ultimately the highest of his career: 228 for Somerset against Gloucestershire at Taunton in May. When he started he could have done anything, but he declined very quickly. The other three were all against Australia. [28] He advanced to play for the county's second team in the Minor Counties Championship, and although he was still used sparingly as a bowler, he made some good scores with the bat, most significantly against Cornwall, against whom he aggregated 194 runs in four innings. [106] Although Wisden does not name Botham except as an "inattentive" fielder who dropped a catch, it describes the England bowlers "looking second-rate and nobody but Willis bowling the right line or setting the right field to the powerful and phlegmatic Greenidge". He held 120 catches. [48], Botham's international dbut for England was on 26 August 1976 in a Limited Overs International (LOI) against the West Indies at the North Marine Road Ground, Scarborough. Having achieved a match analysis of nine for 133 at Bombay, where England were beaten on a poor pitch, Botham took only eight more wickets, at 65 each, in the last five Tests and Wisden said this "was a telling blow to England's chance of levelling the series". They were signed for the second half of the season on a sponsorship arranged through the Test and County Cricket Board (TCCB) by Whitbread's Brewery. Another two-year absence from international cricket ensued until he was recalled again to play against West Indies in 1991, on the strength of belting 161* for Worcestershire against them in their early-season tour match against the county it was to be his only century ever against the West Indies. This quickly became 58 for five and Botham was joined by England's other match hero Taylor. Botham's final bowling return was none for 45 from eleven overs.

His first, in 1985, was a 900-mile trek from John o' Groats to Land's End. With Zaheer Abbas scoring 141, they made 372 and left Somerset needing 118 to win. He then opened the England innings with Graham Gooch the tactic England had trialled in Australia five years before, and again in the ODIs against NZ at the end of the tour before the World Cup and scored 53 from only 77 balls in a partnership with Gooch of 107. When Botham was out near the end of day two, the score was 229 for six and England reached 232 for six at close of play, still ten runs behind. [125] Against Australia at Sydney Cricket Ground later in the competition, Botham won the award for the sort of all-round performance which had made his reputation. In 1987, he scored 126* against his old county but otherwise he was more successful as a limited overs batsman, scoring two centuries and averaging 40.94. England responded poorly and were dismissed for 174. The England captaincy had affected Botham's form as a player and in his last Test as captain, against Australia at Lord's in 1981, he was dismissed for a pair. Mahomed Nissar became the first Indian on the Honours Board with five for 95. Botham played in 22 first-class and 23 List A matches so it was a busy season for him. 2. Australia, with plenty of time remaining, needed 130 to win and were generally expected to get them; but after Botham took the first wicket, Willis took 8 for 43 to dismiss Australia for only 111. Botham was often unfairly labelled a "big hitter" but in fact his style was very orthodox (i.e., he "played straight") and in this innings he scored 17 fours but, significantly, no sixes. Brief scores: Australia 401 for 9 decl (John Dyson 102, Kim Hughes 89, Graham Yallop 58; Ian Botham 6 for 95) and 111 (Bob Willis 8 for 43) lost to England 174 (Ian Botham 50; Dennis Lillee 4 for .

These incidents, allied to his on-field success, have attracted media attention, especially from the tabloid press. [109] 1986 was not a season for Botham to remember except for one brilliant List A innings when he made his career highest score in the limited overs form of 175 not out for Somerset against Northamptonshire in a 39-over JPL match at the Wellingborough School ground. Queensland were one of the better state teams in the 1980s and were always in the Shield's top three from the 198384 season through to the 199091 season, but didn't win it. In the fourth at Edgbaston, a low-scoring match left Australia batting last and needing 151 to win. He was joined by Yorkshire's Graham Stevenson. In his final first-class innings, Botham scored 32. Botham's batting although never the equal of his bowling abilities declined as well, with a batting average of 38.80 for his first 51 Tests substantially higher than the 28.87 he managed in his last 51 Tests,[137] again a number that would be considered unsatisfactory for a specialist batsman in most Test sides.

[112] Unfortunately he suffered a severe rib injury in the Second Test in Perth, which kept him out of the 3rd Test entirely and reduced the pace of his bowling for the remainder of the tour as he tried to manage it: as a result, with reasonable success, he changed his bowling style to a defensive, miserly military-medium pace. To be honest, it was more like Ian Botham v Australia in the first three innings before Bob Willis made his presence felt in the last innings with an eight-wicket haul. After 14 years with McGuigan, Schaafsma had moved to Hardys in London. Botham had no joy in Australia's second innings with none for 60. He stands at 6ft 2in (188 cm) and weighs 16st 1lb (102kg). Having excelled with the ball in that match, Botham did so with his bat in the third one, scoring an unbeaten 119 in the second innings of the third. He made 59 in Somerset's first innings against Middlesex at Taunton, the highest individual score in a low-scoring match which Somerset won by 73 runs.

England declared with a massive first-innings lead, but rain came after lunch on the fourth day and only one further over was bowled. His bowling was similarly unremarkable, usually capturing one or two wickets at about four an over: he neither scored a run (did not bat) nor took a wicket (043) in his final match.

Toward the end of Sri Lanka's second innings as the match meandered to a draw, in absolutely ferocious heat Botham dispensed with his usual fast bowler's long run-up and switched to bowling off-spin off a few paces, surprising everybody (himself included) by taking several wickets with it, out of an analysis of 6/90. West Indies were then seven for one but a powerful innings by Clive Lloyd pulled them out of trouble and they reached 223 for nine, innings closed.

Botham had a poor season as a bowler and, in all first-class cricket, took just 40 wickets at the high average of 34.67 with a best return of only four for 38. He hit six sixes in that innings.

Sir Ian Botham is set to join the House of Lords after being awarded a life peerage . England's batting was so dominant in all but one of the matches, that Botham only came in right at the end of the innings, or not at all, reverting to his old place in the middle order, and he had little to do: except in the 4th match, where he opened the batting again (in Gooch's absence) and scored a respectable and workmanlike 40, but saw England lose their last four wickets for ten runs and the match by three runs. Day two was rain-affected and Lancashire advanced to 200 for none. [113] When Pakistan totalled 708 at The Oval, the 217 runs conceded by Botham, from 52 overs, were the most by an England bowler, passing the 204 by Ian Peebles, from 71 overs, against Australia at The Oval in 1930, although he took three wickets and also ran out Imran Khan.
