Dicky Bird time. Chora umpiring from the beginning of time. Then learning reverse swing from Imran and Wasim, calling them out, while they were the "Tulshi dhuwa pata." Reverse swing became art while they did it. Respected Botham (as a Cricketer). Then he started to dish BD so bad. History with Tamim beating England at England. Almost winning the series. Bullish behavior. Finally, Morgan switching sides. That did it.
