Description
Report on comments made by cricketer Ian Botham and passed on to ITN by the Manchester News Agency. Botham is threatening to sue over the comments, which describe the England selectors in a derogatory fashion. If Botham’s comments are found to be anything other than lighthearted, he could face another ban, which would see him miss out on the tour of Australia in the winter. Female reporter not identified.
