In this cricket tv video for Cricket World - http://www.cricketworld.com - former England captain and 1981 Ashes hero Sir Ian Botham relives the 1981 Ashes Headingley Test where England were famously 500/1 during the match to beat Australia.
As he says, the rest is history as thanks to his own century and eight wickets from Bob Willis and England overturned the odds to win after being asked to follow on. While it is well known that two Australians put money on an England win, Botham reveals that one of his team-mates also had a punt on one of the biggest upsets in the history of sport...
He was speaking at an event at Lord's to launch Unibet's summer of sport.
