Former England player Ian Botham narrowly escapes
A major incident was avoided with former England player Ian Botham. Ian himself gave this information. Ian surprised everyone by telling a story. Ian told that, if he had delayed even a second, the crocodile and shark would have torn his body to pieces. The incident occurred when Ian Botham and former Australian cricketer Merv Hughes were fishing together when Botham fell into the river. Then whatever happened to him after this, he will not forget for the rest of his life.
Actually, this incident took place in Moyal River located in the northern region of Australia. Ian Botham and Merv Hughes went on a four-day fishing trip. Meanwhile, his slippers got stuck in the rope tied to the boat, due to which he fell into the water. Due to the fall, he got scratches on his body but what was even more horrifying was the fact that he narrowly escaped being bitten by a crocodile and a dangerous shark.
Sharing this incident, Ian Botham said, “I escaped being hit by crocodiles. I came out of the water faster than I fell in it. Some crocodiles were probably staring at me. But while in the water, I could not see what was inside the water. All this happened very fast, but the good thing is that he is safe and completely healthy now.
For information, let us tell you that more than 2 lakh crocodiles live in Australia. Moyal river is also very famous for crocodiles, in which usually 5 crocodiles are seen within one square kilometer. Therefore, Botham’s safe coming out of the water can be considered no less than a miracle.
