    Viv Richards, what a player. Every shot in the book, including pull shots, played without a helmet. Master-class from the best batsman of the modern era. Dennis Lillee, never say die, picking up the important wickets of the champion West Indies batsmen. DK the greatest.

    Viv Richards, what a batsman. Masterful, authoritative. A tier above anyone even today, best since Bradman. Dennis Lillee, simply the best. Could do anything with the ball, the greatest.

      @Ayush Singh Bradman never faced pace like Lillee, Thompson, Holding, Wes Hall, Andy Roberts....
      But those old school bowlers that Bradman faced on perfect batting wickets did bowl text book line and length and many were expert swing bowlers.
      Not many good swing bowlers today, but when the ball does swing, today’s batsmen look like children.

      Sure, Great people always make things look easy in all fields. Viv can hit a ball pitched outside off stump go in atleast 3 different directions. Mind you the bowler was Lillee, the engine that generates pace out of the pitch. It was stroke play. Tendulkar, Virat have the great comfort of playing half of their carreer in slow Indian pitches - no comparison. Atleast Tendulkar (played more for stat) was though better of the two offering great shots in the cover direction even in paced pitches.

    Lillee steaming like a Rhino, Richards mugging Aussie bowlers, Lloyd hitting a century and the bird, Lillee picking up the bird, the bird somehow survives, Lillee striking back with four wickets, last but not the least Bill Lawry, Tony Cozier and Richie Beanaud’s timeless commentaries....the first day had all the drama.

    Fabulous stuff. Lillee v Richards - the best against the best. Usually when Sir Viv got past 50, you could only pray that he'd get too casual and give his wicket away. One of the rare occasions where Viv was actually got out when in full swing, and only very special bowlers like Dennis Lillee were capable of doing that. If you could choose any bowler to bowl against any batsman, look no further.

  • @penaunger8707

    I remember Colin Croft saying recently that the West Indies batsmen were never really under pressure in a test match because they knew they'd win because it was rare for an opposition to make over 200 against that bowling line up. Some may remember the first test in England in 1984 when Bob Willis declared and left them 343 to get on the last day. They only lost one wicket in the chase! Anyone watching them during this era would laugh at the current teams being ranked as the No 1 test side now. Wouldn't get near this mob! DK Lillee was the key factor in Australia not being humiliated every time they went out against them. His 4/10 in the last session against them on Boxing Day 1981 is one of the greatest cricketing performances I've ever seen. Viv Richards bowled middle stump for a duck on the last ball of the day. It was sensational!

I remember when I saw them at the scg and they swashbuckled their way to 0/145 after just 15 overs. It changed the limited overs game forever. West Indies cricket was just a class above the rest and a sight to behold. Props to Lillee though because a lot of his wickets were class batsmen in their prime.
