Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use
Fair use
Additionally, the fair use defense to copyright infringement was codified for the first time in section 107 of the 1976 Act. Fair use was not a novel proposition in 1976, however, as federal courts had been using a common law form of the doctrine since the 1840s (an English version of fair use appeared much earlier). The Act codified this common law doctrine with little modification. Under section 107, the fair use of a copyrighted work is not copyright infringement, even if such use technically violates section 106. While fair use explicitly applies to use of copyrighted work for criticism, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research purposes, the defense is not limited to these areas. The Act gives four factors to be considered to determine whether a particular use is a fair use: the purpose and character of the use (commercial or educational, transformative or reproductive); the nature of the copyrighted work (fictional or factual, the degree of creativity); the amount and substantiality of the portion of the original work used; and the effect of the use upon the market (or potential market) for the original work.

I had the good fortune to see Botham and Jacques Kallis at their career peaks. When either came to the crease with bat or ball, is was as if there were a golden aura shining around them. Which was the greater all-rounder? With the bat: Kallis. With the ball: Botham. But don't forget, Kallis played 64 more than Tests than Ian did, allowing him to rack up an extraordinary number of centuries. One thing's for sure: they were pure heaven to watch.

That is a great compliment but also Sir Garfield being modest. Both great bowlers, batsmen and fielders but Sobers has the edge. Botham didn't bowl fine spin as Sobers did as a extra and then there is that 365 no at age 21 (Conrad Hunte's 260 in the same innings rarely gets a mention neither does Fazal Mahmood's 85 overs, today's fast bowlers take three innings to bowl that many) a score Sir Ian never got remotely close to (208 being his best in Tests).

Sir Garfield when he was here in Australia playing for South Australia and on the Rest Of The World tour of 1971/72 and Sir Ian on the England tour of 1978/79 . I was at university and the sports store I worked at part time hosted an autograph signing by some of the England players, so there, at a bbq that night and at the cricket the next day I was fortunate to meet and talk to David Gower (who is a few months younger than me), Geoff Miller, the great Bob Willis, Sir Ian (who brought two litres of duty free spirits and a box of beer to the bbq, the legends of his drinking in those days are true) and David Bairstow, who graciously spoke to me for a few hours while he was 12th man in the tour match against South Australia. Those two days are one of the highlights of my involvement with sport. Those were great days when you could see a touring team twice in a match against a state side, then the Test.

I've noticed amongst the many favourable, some disparaging comments about Botham. They're usually based on comprising his averages against others etc. To these people I'd say "put away your calculators, laser measurers and even the ESPN Cricinfo! To really understand the greatness of Botham you had to be "of the time". England in 1981 wasn't that great. We had a football team that hadn't competed in a World Cup for a decade, our cricketers were regularly beaten by the Aussies and Windies, and one of our most famous sporting celebrities of the last ten years had been a racehorse. Then out of nowhere came Botham. Someone who could actually WIN something for us! And he done it with a swagger. "Both" was "cometh- the-hour", "carpe-diem' personified. His averages - who cares? If it required 40 odd runs in record time or 3 quick wickets to turn a match - why should he do anything more? When it's done and you've won you do the same as all the fans - wash it all down with a couple of pints. Some press pundits (who seemed to harbour some resentment) did at times suggest he should be replaced. I think it was Bob Willis who used to say "if you dropped Botham, which three players would you replace him with?"

England have had two world-class fast bowling allrounders in my lifetime (I'm not quite old enough to have seen Trevor Bailey) and they have been Mr. Botham and Mr. Flintoff. There have been other very competent and very valuable "bits and pieces" players, but none that fit the true allrounder definition; a player who would get into the team based around EITHER discipline alone, if the other was absent. Stokes ? Not quite. But I shall go to my grave believing that England missed out on a third world-class, fast-bowling allrounder through over eagerness and mismanagement. Batting develops more slowly than bowling in a young allrounder, and I shall always argue that if England had left Stuart Broad in County Cricket for two more seasons for his batting fully to mature, he would have been the real deal. Yes, we indeed saw glimpses in his younger days - and one utterly glorious century - but he didn't have the mind-shape to handle being hit in the face and bounce back - and became a slogger. Too many times, with England in difficulty, have I shouted at my television set "bat PROPERLY, Stuart, for goodness' sake - we all know you can". Opportunity missed. So sad.

Am I the only one who watches the TV advert currently starring Beefy for the "Revitive" leg muscle stimulator for aching legs. It starts with two ladies moaning about aches and pains in their legs and see Ian Botham walking by and one asks, 'what's Bothams secret'? When the ad goes to Bothams script , how he describes the machine, his final words are, "and it's Drug Free"! The words that pop into my head are... "unlike 'that' tour of the West Indies Ian"! Groovy 🇯🇲🥕🇯🇲🥴

First i I M SORRY. MY ENGLISH IS NOT GOOD BUT I HOPE U CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT WANT TO SAY. 1981 ashes is perfact example. When luck changs how game is changing. A player who s last 12 test was as captain n he was totaly fail both as a captain and player. Suddenly captain was changed. And game of player was changed. A team which is down 0-1 after 2 test matches of 6 test match series. That team won series when steel 1 match was left. Ian botham plays a key role in that turn arround.
