He set a new world record of 10 dismissals in a match on the 19th. • Ian Botham became the first man to score a 100 and take 10 wickets in a Test Match. • February lived up to its reputation of February fill dyke (when melting snow fills dykes). Snow fell on one day. It rained on 18 days. Will March live up to its reputation?
