Editing Ian Botham (section)

===Jubilee Test, India, February 1980===
Botham's third overseas tour was to [[English cricket team in India in 1979–80|India in February 1980]].<ref name=ITBTests>{{cite web |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/1/1529/Test_Matches.html |title=Test matches played by Ian Botham |publisher=CricketArchive |access-date=1 May 2017 |archive-date=3 March 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170303043918/http://www.cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/1/1529/Test_Matches.html |url-status=live }}</ref> It was the fiftieth anniversary of India's entry into Test cricket and so England played a single commemorative Test at the [[Wankhede Stadium]] in [[Mumbai|Bombay]]. It turned into a personal triumph for Botham who became the first player in Test history to score a [[century (cricket)|century]] and take ten [[wicket]]s in the same match.<ref>Note that Australian all-rounder [[Alan Keith Davidson|Alan Davidson]] was, in December 1960, the first player to complete the "match double" of 100 runs and ten wickets in the same Test match but his achievement did not include a century.</ref> England's [[wicketkeeper]] [[Bob Taylor (cricketer)|Bob Taylor]] held ten catches in the match, eight of them off Botham's bowling.<ref name=IvE80>{{cite web |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/39/39959.html |title=India v England, February 1980 |publisher=CricketArchive |access-date=1 May 2017 |archive-date=6 March 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170306224319/http://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/39/39959.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

India won the toss and decided to bat first but, with Botham taking six for 58, they were all out on day one for 242. England replied with 296, the highlight being Botham's 114 from just 144 balls; he began his innings with England in trouble at 57 for four. This quickly became 58 for five and Botham was joined by England's other match hero Taylor. England's first five batsmen had contributed just 51 to the total. Botham was often unfairly labelled a "big hitter" but in fact his style was very orthodox (i.e., he "played straight") and in this innings he scored 17 fours but, significantly, no sixes. Taylor provided dogged support and their sixth wicket partnership realised 171 runs. When Botham was out near the end of day two, the score was 229 for six and England reached 232 for six at close of play, still ten runs behind. On the third morning, Taylor led England past India's total and, with useful batting performances by the specialist bowlers, England totalled 296 to gain a first innings lead of 54.<ref name=IvE80/>

India's second innings was a disaster, and they lost eight wickets by the close of play on the third day with only [[Kapil Dev]] offering any resistance. They were all out early on the fourth day for 149. Botham was the outstanding performer again, taking seven for 48 which gave him match figures of thirteen for 106. [[Geoffrey Boycott]] and [[Graham Gooch]] scored the necessary runs for England to win by ten wickets with a day to spare.<ref name=IvE80/>
