Sir Viv was the greatest of them all, statistically, politically and consciously! His stance against Apartheid is incomparable. He is the only cricketer with two Honourary Doctorates and he has received more accolades than any other cricketer. What many do not know is that as Vice Captain he was the disciplinarian of the team, thus giving Lloyd that clean image of the elder statesman. I applaud you brother for the superb job in compiling this video and exhort to you to continue to educate the masses!

Thank you Sir. Thank you for your insightful contribution on the subject. Indeed Sir Viv was great not just for cricketing ability but for his historical and political consciousness plus all the other reasons you mentioned.

He is like Muhammed Ali who not only had pride but understood his role as a human being in this world of injustice
Sir Gary retain the Wisden trophy in 1966 for we had beat England in 1963 under Sir Frank

If west Indies Cricket Board was different Chris Gayle would be there. Also Dwayne Bravo. Before and after Sammy. Sigh.

I want you to go back and listen to what you have said throughout your comments, even with Viv Richards against Pakistan, it was Jeffrey Dujon and Benjamin or rescued the wi team coming from behind to drawn the series. Viv Richards was bowled by Abdul Quadier, and Dujon and Benjamin rescued the team to victory. Also Viv Richards refused from going to South Africa apartheid, but they took the money from Kerry Packer in 1978. When the entired wi team abandon in 1978 because they were offered money, Lloyd and the entire team abandon the test series against Australia. The only players didn't go from the team, is only Alvin Kallicharran and. What really pisses me off big time, that when they returned from Australia. They dropped the entire team off Alvin Kallicharran and, gave back Lloyd the captain. Also with Darren Sammy winning the two T20 WC, because he got a very good playing team. Because Sammy didn't make any form of contribution to the team, anybody can captain the team and win. When the team win all praises going to the captain and, when the team loses all blames going to the players in the team.

Listening to you young and I realized that you don't know what you are saying at all, because George Headley was appointed as captain for the wi team. Although he only captained one test not Frank Worrell as you are saying, you cannot try to justified your actions. Also Khani was captain before Clive Lloyd,so you should have your information correct. The wi team only comes good under Lloyd after, the team was humiliated in Australia during 1975/76 . When Australia 🦘 beaten the wi 5/1,I know where Worrell was captain for the wi team and, the team was not that good. Just checked the records them, although viv Richards never lost a series but. The team decreased very significantly after left the team, anyway Lloyd is the greatest captain ever to lead the wi team. Let me hear the responsd from the cyber bullies, because I know that some of those never seeing them playing during careers but. I saw all of those captains playing cricket for years ok.

I am well aware of Headley and Kanhai. I said Worrel was the first black captain of tenure.

@@cricketunmasked I tried to correct you that is not true at all and you are repeating it, Headley was appointed for one test match . So it does not matter if it was one or ten, you haveto respect what the wi team organization said. That Headley was the first black captain of the wi team, so please don't try to change it for whatever reason. I know Headley but not as a player, I know him when he was coaching the Jamaican team. Also I saw his son playing for James and the wi team, also I saw his grandson playing test cricket for England .I have a lot of problems with some of the bloggers them, because they are over looking certain players stats for some selfish reasons. I been watching test cricket more than 60 years, so I have a lot of knowledge about the game and players too ok.
