He appears in the adverts for the cricket on Sky. I've seen him in the ads recently, I assume he commentates too but I dont really follow cricket.

Remember the TV ads he did back in the 1980's? They were for some male shaving product and they couldnt resist including a cricket pun. "Howzat for a shave!" said Botham.

He did the voiceovers for the 'Beefy' and 'Lamby' ads with Alan Lamb for the meat marketing board. There was a proposed gag about 'Lamby's missus likes some beef in her crease' which fell foul of the censors.
