[@specialistsprofessionalsin1331]

Playing with solid protective gears refined pitches and playing without helmets protective gears uncured rough uneven pitches its like earth and sky distance. I have played season cricket and I know exactly what it means. No limitations of bouncers and yet walk with that style the swagger, the arrogance, destroy bowlers all around the world anywhere any location any time..that's my and my fathers favorite Sir Viv Richards .The Rolls Royce of Batting....Amazing Phenomenal Awesome Super Duper Mesmerizing. The game changed to the 5th Gear the moment Viv started just walking to the batting crease. it was game on....I am here to destroy you all show me what you have got to the bowlers and opposition. We always prayed that Greenidge or Haynes get out quickly as We enjoyed Viv destroy bowling like T20 about 30-35 years back unbelievable batting hitting cleanly & yet very stylish absolutely brilliant and stunning. Ferrari Bugatti Rolls-Royce of Batting. The moment Viv came to bat the game changed to fastest gear open challenge to bowlers I'm going to go after you all especially the best bowler of the team. fearless aggressive. Remember always when you talk discuss records compare with protective gears helmets power bats and so on the latest sophisticated equipment gadgets the limitations of bouncers by bowlers and without all of the above. No current batsmen will dare to do what Richards Gavaskar did play without ⛑️sophisticated helmets protective gears on uncovered highly lethal dangerous uneven pitches . Rolls Royce of Batting fearless dangerous very aggressive animal instincts without helmets protective gears and no limitations of bouncers Huge difference to play with and without protective gears and unlimited bouncers short pitched bowling. The game changed to the topmost gear the moment Viv Richards stepped on to the ground his entry itself was sufficient, his style walk, taking guard said to the opposition I am here now show me what you got and I am here to destroy you all especially the best bowler of your team nowadays batsmen attack identity weak bowlers Viv attacked destroyed every teams most fearsome bowlers. I always wanted Greenidge or Haynes to get out quickly as I loved to watch Viv enter and murder hammer blast destroy the best bowlers of the era

Dear Mr. Bhogle, As an ardent follower of cricket, I request you to bring people who were greats before the Era of the likes Sunil Gavaskar, Vivian Richards into the limelight. There are so many players who have been legends during that time but only players like Sir Don Bradman have been highlighted because of various reasons (his statistics speak of the obvious reason) like lack of awareness of the earliest period of cricket, limited resources, etc. For a country where cricket is a religion, (probably one of the few seriously considered things) it is good to know about the people who have contributed for the upliftment of the game that has become so prominent in our country in spite of being born in another country. Kindly ask the team at Cricbuzz to start a new series, let us say, "Remembering the forefathers of Cricket". This is a humble request from a cricket fan who started his cricket journey exactly 20 years ago with a World Cup that started in England in 1999 and it took me 20 years to realize about this fact! Regards, Ravi
