Little known fact (at least for me):
"Geoff Boycott was dropped for a Test for scoring a double-century too slowly. Then, from 1974 to 1977, he made himself unavailable for selection to England. Boycott wasn't much loved by his team-mates either. A young Ian Botham ran him out once for not scoring quick runs when the team needed them."
