Revenge of the Carribean | When the King was Hit on the Head - Australia v West Indies |Viv Richards

[@bodhisattva6308]

Viv richards - the finest player of quality fast bowling. No batsman intimidated fast bowlers like him. Nobody

[@jeangowcharan7456]

[@sni3407]

True. Also there are exceptions. First is Gavaskar who defied the fastest fast bowlers and the next is Viru in creating a fear in the bowler's mind and scaring the opposite teams. He changed the face of the entire game 👍

[@subhadeepmandal2221]

Actually more than Viv, Clive Loyed was more devastating and punishing to the Australian fast bowlers. But more than his batting he was famous for his captaincy. In 1976 actually WI had very good spinners and fast bowlers couldn't do good against even Indians. But still on Fifth test he put his captaincy, even his place in the team on edge and kicked out all spinners from WI team ( including his own cousin Lance Gibbs), and went with those 4 inexperienced fast bowlers and directed them only to bowl fast. That was a watershed moment of a captain's life ever in the history of Cricket. No other captain in history took such a courageous decision ever... *And rest is history* ....

[@aniket385]

He never faced the Fast bowlers of his own Team . Like how Ricky Pointing never faced Warne or McGrath . Which is way Sachin , Laxman , Dravid , Sehwag have such a high respect among cricket pundits

[@dineshd3631]

Richards did face Garner, Daniel, Holding, Marshall,Patterson,Walsh and some lesser known fast bowlers over the years in WI domestic cricket. Rather sorry to say that he didn't have a great record against them and batsmen like Gavaskar, Gooch, Wessels, Lamb,Border had far better average than him when it came to facing the four fast bowlers of WI with any combination. Richards never faced 4 dreaded WI fast bowlers together and even then his average against 2 or 3 of them together was much less than that of his famous contemporaries who have been mentioned above. Kapil Dev, Hadlee and Imran Khan also dismissed him cheaply a number of times. How many sixes did Richards hit of the bowling of these 3 bowlers? It was the overall strength of the WI team that paved the way. Many instances when Richards failed with the bat and the West Indies still won those tests and ODI's due to the efforts of other team members.

But, the headmaster saw me on TV, after school. they zoomed in to show a kid hanging over the boundary fence, picking up a ball that was whacked for four runs, and giving it to the Windies fielder. Back at school, on parade, he just looked me in the eye and said quietly "So, how was the cricket?" I replied "VERY GOOD Sir!" Nothing more was said as he walked away with a twinkle in his eye.

I compiled my all time Test XI in 2020 in response to one of the ECB videos back then (it hasn't changed), and despite all the talent I've seen in about 45 years of being a fan of cricket (I'm 52 as of now), Sir Viv was a certainty. I had an option with Botham, but even as a kid in England, I was in awe of Sir Viv. Still am. Just for amusement - my XI :) Graham Smith Alistair Cook Brian Lara Sachin Tendulkar Sir Viv Richards Jacques Kallis Andy Flower Shane Warne Richard Hadlee Wasim Akram Malcolm Marshall

What a phenomenal storyteller you are !!!!

Thrilling video. The rise and dominance of the West Indies cricket. Though I am Indian but I say without a doubt that this West Indian cricket team was my favorite

[@AaRBiTt]

This is one of the best videos in your channel. Perfect script, perfect narration! You have come a long way dude! Keep it up.

[@raghurao1980]

Sir Viv Respect. Kids of 80s and me being one. Take a bow.

[@rohangite1033]

Sir Viv Richards , you earn my respect 🙇‍♂️💪

[@lockedonarticle6179]

Excellent video, very well written and presented. What a player was Viv. His stats might not have been as good as some others, but he had that capacity to galvanize the crowd with his presence, and his stroke play and attitude proves that stats aren't everything, not by a long shot. Clearly the dominant batsman in world cricket since WW2.

If cricket is a school, Sir Viv is the Principal Plz feel free to add more.

I loved watching the Windies play the Aussies during the 1980’s and 90’s. Even though I wanted Australia to win I still enjoyed the contest that the Windies gave us. Vic, what a legend, the Master Blaster 😊

Viv Richards: We didnt lose a test series in 15 years

[@aniket385]

They lost to New Zealand in NZ during that time , the only loss

[@davewalkeden6932]

@@hadtrt3456 Rubbish. I agree that the umpiring was crap, but their technique against Hadlee was awful. They would've lost, even without the umps....

[@petefumberger5225]

I believe the Australian test team won 16 matches in a row - twice.

[@chetan_l]

It is hard to state with certainty as to who is the all time greatest, but all said and done, Viv will remain the king...a batsman par excellence. Simply the best IMO

[@TheSiddharthKothari]

The narration, videos and story were simply awesome! All put together in the perfect rhythm backed by your amazing voice. 🫡🫡🫡

❤ Brilliant mon,I'm a big West Indies Fan, 8 years old when I loved them. 75 76 series. Thanks for making the video mon. Yea mon❤

[@chandrabhushanpanday1534]

I was literally hoping that u might see fire in babylon sometime...its nice that somebody finally told that story at a good platform

[@ikarljoseph]

Brilliance indeed. Double Love I love Cricket and I love the way our Indian Cricketers explain it.

[@varadharajan9981]

The Legend 👍 sir Viv Richards.

[@jesuschristtheonlyhopeofth429]

Excellent video. The Messsage is simple - Change with the times or perish. And yes, Viv Richards is the greatest batsman the world has ever produced.

[@babunarasiman5485]

The walk of viv richards is like a lion entering💪

[@andybell4329]

Had the pleasure of seeing the West Indies in 76, fantastic video.

[@markrayfield6519]

You tell the story well I watched that awesome foursome as a kid. I played rep cricket in 80’s no helmets it’s hard to explain to those now wearing helmets how mentally fatiguing high quality fast bowling was to face over after over. The 4 were all great bowlers wonder how well they would go now, one major issue was under 10 overs per hour. For Malcom M who came later was the best of them and the one who would have dominated even today.

[@TheAlbus123]

Amazing video. I knew about the 1975 series from 'Fire in Babylon' trailer, but not the 1979 one or it was Windies' first series win in Australia. What a team! Undefeated from 1980-1995, IMO the best test team of all time. Hats off to the Champion players!

[@sonny6476]

Bro, one episode on west indies tour to australia under captaincy of Frank Worrell would be awesome. Windies faced racism at the beginning of tour, but went on the change the australian mindset by the end of tour.

[@chalkandcheese1868]

Bullshit, that team was popular in Australia from the start.

[@dlmperplex337]

Now Australia relies on hiring umpires and tampering the ball. Only they know how many other ways they use to cheat

[@grahamkerr2803]

It was such a pleasure to see Richards the Lionheart humble these arrogant Australians ❤❤.
