Moyle river

Ian Botham: Former England allrounder Ian Botham jokingly said 'crocodile beefy survived' after he was rescued by his former Ashes rival Merv Hughes and others following his fall to crocodile-infested waters while on a fishing trip in Australia.

Botham and Hughes were together in a boat with a group in the Moyle River in northern Australia when the accident occurred. While switching boats, the England great accidentally fell into the river which had crocodiles and bull sharks but the cricketer was rescued quickly by people around him including Hughes and escaped with heavy bruising.

In an Instagram post, Botham shared pictures of him holding a Barramundi fish and said he was the catch of all the crocodiles and bull sharks.
