Anyone know was there any serious head issues back then with ball hitting batsman in the head? I swear there was helmets around back then but Richards never wore one right? Anyone know the reason why he didn't?

40years later,and it's interesting to look back on those days. The Windies were virtually unbeatable, and the Australians really had their hands full just trying to make a game of it. Of course, the wheels finally turned, tho it truly is sad that the Windies have declined so markedly, particularly in red ball cricket. Thanks for the upload 😁👍

Video quality is very nice thanks❤❤ for upload

He was swatting a fly there.

Watching these matches of WI in the 80s I am convinced that Australia during 1999 - 2009 was a superior side than them. They would beat them regardless of which era the matches were played in.

“The great Viv Richards” - I can never get tired of saying this. What a batsman. What a fielder. What throws from the boundary line. As a batsman, he was very special, easily defining what a world’s best batsman is. What a swagger and what a class! My late uncle saw him live tearing the English fast bowling apart at Lords in 1975, scoring a double century. A great Sachin Tendulkar fan, he was talking about it 30 years later with admiration.

That's why people calling him king Richard no one & never become king Richard even hit 100 centuries

Well, you should ask Jeff Thomson what Donald bradman did to him (yes, a Bradman in his late sixties)

Viv Richards was great but Bradman was the best.

Great atheletes both of them, 2 legends. That Sir in front of Viv is well justified

Size of the bat vs size of the boundary

he was kohli of his era

One must not forget Loyd , if a bowler beats him one ball , the next ball has to be brought back from the boundary.

When Australia was so good the A team was just about as good as the 1st team.

No more upload on your channel since long time ?

Watching this after 2024 T20 world cup. From Legendary pakistani team to this pathetic individuals. The worst players then would be better players today because they would play fir the country and take pride in being part of the team.

No foot movement ....probably doesn't need it .

This clip is TV cricket gold. Tavare never managed to hit a six in his test match career and this clip provides evidence of one of only two he hit during his ODI career for England.

Isnt that called chucking his bowling action looks exactly like it , but i guess when Aussies do it its fine haha

That too without helmet killer

Haiiiiii kahan gayay asay players 😢😢😢😢😢

Master Blaster of cricket ❤

What a shot. He dismissed Jeff. It was a good length delivery at an angle and Viv just picked the ball up, with full bat swing and body strength behind the ball. This is one of the best shots I have seen in my 30 years of watching cricket..

Legend legend legend

Boundary then 🗿 boundary now🤡

Viv vs Thompson

I was in the comment section in search of those kids who keep shouting "Virat Kohli is the best cricketer ever" 😂😂😂 Sir Viv Richards 🫡🫡🫡

If he played with modern rules and modern bats , he would have scored 250 even in a t20 match

Thommo wasnt quick by this stage but still had some pace. Viv hitting a short of a lengrh ball like it was a gentle long hop

If Richards born in this era and was playing in IPL matches, with the modern bats and small 60 meters boundaries in IPL grounds, Vivian Richards would have smashed sixes to the nearest town.

Cross roads moment for Australian cricket. No Lillee, Marsh or Chappell. South African rebel tour just sound the corner and Border had no idea that he was the catalyst behind our resurgence!

*west indies dominated*

What a hit.

Itne bade stadium mein 2 Wankhede stadium ban jayenge 😂😂

Taking risk at d ryt time.

तोतला सेठ 😂

Sir Vivian Richards. The MASTER BLASTER. Lawry. " You couldn't hit it much harder than that.

True Tommo got nailed, however success was not guaranteed against the best Left Arm Fast of All Time. WASIM AKRAM.

Brilliant upload, keep it up. Imran what a bowller. Tremendous athlete, handsome man

The one an only sir viv richards

Bahut chalu batsman tha tera chakka hum aj tul nahi bhule ha sharjah wala bahut roye they any he was a class batsman

I really like Javed miadad.

Man of the match should have been given to Viv, he made 49 runs and took three wickets as well.
