\"His uncle came to me last year and he said, 'Would you have a word with him?' Well, he asked me what I thought of him. I told him exactly this. He said, 'Really?' I said, 'Yeah.' I said that much ability is rare, special.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cHe said, 'Would you have a word with him?' I said, 'It's not for me to go to him. He might tell me to, you know, off,' I said. But if he asked me, of course I'd help. Why would I not?

\u201cThere ain't many above them, except Bradman, and that's special. But he plays one-day cricket to every ball. He doesn't have a look at the ball, he has to bash the first ball. He'll just keep getting caught at mid-off and mid-on and daft places,\" added Boycott.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
