Aussie legend Merv Hughes helps save England cricket great Ian Botham on fishing trip
Affectionately known as ‘Beefy’, Botham was on the four-day trip with Aussie cricket great Merv Hughes. They were catching barramundi and Botham, now 68, tripped when his thong caught the boat rope. It was the final day of the trip and and they were crossing from the the boat back to the ‘mothership’.
