Oh man, brutal beauty in action. In 50 years of watching cricket I've never enjoyed watching anyone bat so much. As it was so effortless for him he often seemed to play for fun rather than statistics. Stylish and technical brilliance underpinned by fantastic temperament and power.

NOT scared of any fast bowling attack and he NEVER wore a helmet whilst batting. He always displayed confidence of his batting strengths. During his time there was NO other batsman among the world Test cricketing nations (Except Graham Pollok of SA - No test status) to match or compete the skills of VIV RICHARDS. 👌🏻

It was a very low intensity innings as they were chasing a paltry 179. Never any pressure, and he was able to take a lazy 104 balls to reach 76, which is nearly 20% lower than his career strike rate. This innings would rank very low down on any list from Richards in either form of the game.

Vic Richards certainly is one of the greatest batsmen cricket has ever seen. Well done to him for punishing any bowler who tried to sledge him. In one case, after he had missed several balls, the bowler informed him “It is red, round and weighs about 5 ounces, in case you were wondering”. The next ball Vic Richards hit for 6, going so high that it went over the stadium and into a river. He then told the bowler “You know exactly what it looks like, now go and find it”. The perfect response to a sledge! I look forward to seeing the Viv Richards museum when I visit Antigua in March next year.
