Walking like a lion, king Richards the swagger and ultimate master blaster, shatters even the world class bowlers into their knees, wearing no helmet during his entire 17 years of cricketting career.... Legends never die
Oh man, brutal beauty in action. In 50 years of watching cricket I've never enjoyed watching anyone bat so much. As it was so effortless for him he often seemed to play for fun rather than statistics. Stylish and technical brilliance underpinned by fantastic temperament and power.
People can take many names as best batsman but believe me,the swag with which sir Viv did batting and the ease with which he smashed is unbeatable...he is undoubtedly the best batsman the world of cricket has witnessed....he used to tear apart bowling attacks...a legend....effortless ..

Vic Richards certainly is one of the greatest batsmen cricket has ever seen. Well done to him for punishing any bowler who tried to sledge him. In one case, after he had missed several balls, the bowler informed him “It is red, round and weighs about 5 ounces, in case you were wondering”. The next ball Vic Richards hit for 6, going so high that it went over the stadium and into a river. He then told the bowler “You know exactly what it looks like, now go and find it”. The perfect response to a sledge! I look forward to seeing the Viv Richards museum when I visit Antigua in March next year.
Sir Viv Richatds was the best batsman 🏏among the best batsmen in the world👍🏼 having his own style of powerful shots all over the cricket field. NOT scared of any fast bowling attack and he NEVER wore a helmet whilst batting. He always displayed confidence of his batting strengths. During his time there was NO other batsman among the world Test cricketing nations (Except Graham Pollok of SA - No test status) to match or compete the skills of VIV RICHARDS. 👌🏻
what a master class innings so pleasing to watch every stroke ! Just thinking how many fours could have went if the outfield is quick like the modern game..... Such versatile players >3
It was a very low intensity innings as they were chasing a paltry 179. Never any pressure, and he was able to take a lazy 104 balls to reach 76, which is nearly 20% lower than his career strike rate. This innings would rank very low down on any list from Richards in either form of the game.
Just that team sheet at the beginning brings back the fear of how awesome they were in the 80s great names when I was at secondary school they hammered us every time but still love the windies to this day special part of cricket history those sides
Had kapil Dev not taken that catch running backward to dismiss Richards inthe final of 1983 world cup world cup was gone from India he singlehanded was taking West Indies to the third consecutive world cuptitle as India wasn't defending a very big total it was more of Kapil's catch rather than bowlers wicket and that Richards catch was India's 1983 World Cup

No ball reaching boundary line and the ball itself slows down after some distance. But nowadays if batsman hit slightly, the ball reaching the line at some seconds. So the current batsmen can't compare with old batsmen. They all legends.
@bunny nah both were equally good. He scored more than 20K runs in total. Ponting played crucial knocks for Australia and one of the best batsman at no 3.
pitches uncovered, boundaries not brought in and more importantly against a ball which had a much pronounced seam. The disconcerting bounce and swing of the those balls were much more vicious than the ones we have today, the pads were heavier and the protective equipment’s were very basic to say the least. Compare the gloves used then and now!
Once again an innings where Viv Richards' flawless offside play and beautiful legside pull shot is visible. Slight lack in legside flick shot where his body stays planted to offside, does not pivot enough to leg, but lets his hand follow the ball.
Cricket was like that back then if you see any videos from then you will see many 2s and 3s run in a game. It was the same for test or 1 day cricket while now test cricket is more like one day big scores must be made or something is wrong where as i miss the cricket of old but thats probably just me.
It's interesting I just compared Richards test average against G Chappell Chappell was higher and he faced the might of the West Indies pace attack That's why I rate him a better batsman
20/20 cricket really changed the confidence of a lot of batsmen to go for the big shots as well giving in game experience. One day cricket from this era, if you watch a full match you would be bored to tears.
I feel like Viv Richards took revenge on behalf of England who were hammered by Sir Donald Bradman 😀. Richards has most of his top scores agains the Aussies.

Not Dennis the menace
His chewing gum was as good as an air bag so technically he never wore any helmet 😊
Look at their running between the wickets and taking 3 runs so effortlessly. Viv Richard's drives are like a poetry in motion

His consistent batting ability resulted in him becoming the first cricketer in ODI history to achieve 20 Man of the Match awards.
Sheemas Kitchen He's like Gayle a yammer,how many chances he had in this match.
Running between wickets even at that time....Wow
Richards is a legend
No need to say anything else

The Real Master Blaster. Nobody can match him.
if VIVIAN RICHARDS never retired from international cricket for West Indies, he would've been ahead of batsmans such as SACHIN TENDULKAR & BRIAN LARA.
Viv was the Best
On current grounds he would have destroyed the opposition
If he had the bats that are used these days he would have made 10000 Test runs.
@@shaunstelfox1718 he already has more than 9k test runs

Don't care about averages or number of centuries or total runs scored, I'd rather see Sir Viv bat again over anybody else.
The boundary is something like 1km away from the batsman 😊
This must be so tiring. The number of times they ran 3.

People who are saying that cricket was so much purer back then... take a look at the "KitKat" strike rate! 😂
Happy' birthday

wow those run rates are hilarious with modern eyes
Gavaskar and Vishwanath never wore helmet scoring magnificent centuries against world's top fast bowlers
Vishwanath used helmet and Gavaskar skull cap later on in their careers

No batsman in the world can come close to king richards.
It's interesting I just compared Richards test average against G Chappell
Chappell was higher and he faced the might of the West Indies pace attack That's why I rate him a better batsman
How many 3s did they run? Must have been exhausting
Just look at the average. It is nearly 3 that means so many dot balls are bowled. So no chance of getting exhausted
