@@gideonjackman1948 He was my idol growing up as a kid. The guy always looked like he was having fun and it was easy. The way he just sauntered in, smashed the ball about and then if he got out, just sauntered back out with a smile on his face.
@@mansurbaig Sure, he's not called the Master-Blaster for nothing....Botham, Dev & Khan were equally capable of smashing the opposition around the ground in those days - interestingly enough, those 3 were all-rounders.
Absolutely the KING. Nobody comes close to him. Not even Don Bradman, irrespective of Don's record. Viv never cared for records. His confidence, aura, impact n swag are unbeatable. Super human
@@beefy1986 Viv was a great no doubt. One of my favorite players growing up. His career average was 50. Bradman averaged 56 DURING 'bodyline' so even allowing for jardines leg theory with a stacked leg side field of up to 8 players his average was superior. So if you call 56 in test cricket 'tamed' then all players in history would love to be so tamed. To merely suggest that Viv , who's average was almost exactly half of the Don would have thrived is absurd . Presumably, you can walk and chew at the same time , so you can love Viv ( as most do) and acknowledge the Don was the superior batsman. No one in history that's played 50 or more tests gets even close to his numbers . Not sobers ( the best cricketer in history) not Tendulkar, not Lara, not Pollock, aaaaaaand not anyone !!!!!! The best we see are averages in the low 60 s, which is , in and of itself extraordinary. You've no basis upon which to ground your claim aside from a bias towards a former great. A bias I share but won't allow myself to be irrational and deluded by. Not anyone expert in history, even those that loathed Bradman, shares your view. Benaud said Bradman was clearly the best and Tendulkar next in line. Bradman himself anointed Tendulkar as the best he'd seen. Hard to argue with that. Bradman is clearly the best and in cricket, numbers don't lie.
@RidetheGeoffening Viv is the best and most exciting player I've seen, G Chappell, VVS Laxman, D Gower and M Waugh the classiest. But you have clearly summed up the facts and the truth. Bradman is the best.
@@iandawson3171 almost impossible to do all the names any justice as many someone's are bound to be left out. I'm Aussie so I'll concede my bias first up , but I just love the game , well , the test game , to be precise. My first memory was attending the 75 /76 test match at the scg against the windies. Crazy good. I loved em all , but Lloyd was King. Brute of a batsman. You mentioned the word exciting, so certainly Gilly springs to mind as there have been few better. M.waugh , brilliant , and in the top safest of hands all around the wicket. Often felt he threw his wicket away so Steven gets in above him. Lol. Gower off his pads was God. Borders tenacity. Peterson's arrogance ( loathe him but a great bat )De Villiers in more modern times.... . I feel gavaskar is not mentioned enough by the modern crowd. Surely the most accomplished bat in the era of the most lethal fast bowlers worldwide. Obviously the windies beasts , you can pick any number of them , but Bobby Willis was a gun ( underrated imo ) Imran of course who was lightning as a younger player and of course lillee and thommo....... aaaaaaand Sunny slayed em all. At his height , length balls were lifters and he was absolutely breathtakingly brilliant. TH-cam his innings in English conditions if you've not.....Alright, I'll stop as I'm raving. I'm happy to back and forth if you're interested.
One of the few players who will make any cricket fans’ all time list. Dominated the game without heavily engineered bats, playing in larger cricket fields.
You are a super legend Sir Viv I admired you for decades watching you ripping bowling attacks apart. Thank you so much for the memories I will forever be grateful
To grow up with Viv on TV during peak cricket era,i was spoilt....and those 100meter boundaries with no ropes.....would have been 308 if there were ropes....He is number 1 in my eyes !
Viv Richards never faced hostile face bowling calibre of West Indian quality , he always faced less hostile bowling attacks in his career , he faced only a few quality bowlers like Imran Khan ,Hadlee , Abdul Qadir ,Lillee and Thomson but later two bowlers not occasionally and score heavily against weak bowling attacks of India and England. If one looks at his batting average in inter island competition of carribian called Red Stripe competition his batting average was very less against Marshall, Garner, Holding Roberts and Daniel .
It was agame if 5-6 countries back then 😂 ind, aus, nz, eng, wi and pak 😂 now its a game of 15 maybe 😂 a bit improvement 😂 a game that exists between 15 f***ing countries in the entire world 😂

@@TheToledoTrumpton same like me !! ❤
Sir Viv the greatest no one before & ever after, Almighty bless him with good health
Reckon Gilchrist is up there with his batting power though.
@@alansimmonds9030definitely agree there is no doubt about that Gilchrist was a great player of the ball but the era was different
@@mansurbaig Different era, same power hitting dude.
B@@alansimmonds9030agreed but my point of view was from the deadliest & fearsome bowlers of that era

Sehwag comes close.
@@realnapster1522 A big No
You never watched Bradman bat tho
@@realnapster1522He played cricket without helmet.

The greatest batsman ever
No. Bradman clearly is. By about 35 runs on average

Watched this man bat many times
The Master Blaster
True Master Blaster !
One of the few players who will make any cricket fans’ all time list. Dominated the game without heavily engineered bats, playing in larger cricket fields.
No day with a helmet, no matter which ground, what pitch and who the bowler is. IVA Richard...what a Master!
Remember this innings. Just shows what Test cricket is so fascinating, by his second innings.
ultimate dominance, supreme confidence, arrogant swag, king from ball 1 to ball 300.
You are a super legend Sir Viv I admired you for decades watching you ripping bowling attacks apart. Thank you so much for the memories I will forever be grateful
Undisputed King 👑 of Cricket
🐐
The West Indies aren't what they used to be which is sad for cricket. But we will always have the videos of the greatest team ever.
nobody can ever hit those 120m sixes like Viv on Australian grounds.
Except Gilchrist.
"When the day comes to wear a helmet, I will stop playing cricket" that was the words from viv richards when asked about not wearing helmet
Sir viv Richards is the real example of confidence 😊
& there he is the best ever
I ❤️him forever! my all time favorite cricketing hero! ❤️ from india
Same dear !!
Like Warny Viv was a Total MASTER of his Craft.
Greatest ODI and Test batter ever- Viv Richard. No doubt about that.
Greatest T 20 batter - Arguably Chris Gayle.
The OG 'KING' 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Love to have seen him play T20!
You won't find class players in T20 !! Actually its damaging the quality of the game !!
