Richie Richardson at his best! Superb century vs Australia 3rd Test MCG December 1988

What a player. One of the best number 3 batters of the modern era. Here Richie Richardson scores a magnificent century vs Australia at the MCG 3rd Test December 1988 ‪@fromashestoarchive1861‬

My favorite batsmen of that era - Haynes, Richardson and a bit later, Hooper. All 3 blessed with immense power, skill and grace.

Amazing!! What’s even more impressive than the century is his bravery in facing those fast bowlers on bouncy pitches WITHOUT A HELMET!!😮 Absolutely amazing, Richie Richardson - One of my all time favorite batsman.😊

Richie Richardson was a GREAT batsman, technically strong and supremely skilled. Many of the modern day so called greats won't even imagine this - effortless hooking without a helmet.

An absolutely brilliant batsman this Richie Richardson. Highly underrated.... Top class player... Certainly belongs to the group of great west indian batsmen of the 80s and 90s. Up there with Greenidge, and Richards.

Vastly satisfying!

Beautiful batting by sir Richie richardson

In a brief eighteen months period from early 1990 to late 1991 he was considered the best batsman in the world. He was definitely a thorn in Australia's side. He scored nine test centuries against them.

Richie Richardson well done great batting every time...

One of the best underachievers

[@stateofnomind75]

Underachiever? The man averaged 45 in Test cricket and captained his country.

[@ChessAndNotCheckers]

​@@stateofnomind75 And yet he underachieved. Richardson could've been way more. He was that good

[@thomasabraham2764]

Haynes, Richardson My favorite batsmen too

[@ninadsheth8422]

Playing without helmet the hook shot 4 all run
These things have all but disappeared from the modern game. Richi was all class !!!!!!

[@arunaramachandran801]
