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* ....

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.

So great to view these clips, and bring back memories of two great cricketing nations meeting when I was a much younger chap. I wagged school to see the famous first tied test in Brisbane. 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. We had just become very good friends!

Viv Richard, true legend of not only west indies cricket but but world cricket, bowlers doesn't drive fear into him, he drives fears into bowlers .

Their fast bowlers were incredibly intimidating and dangerous as Australia found out especially when playing on the Perth wicket. As Alan Border once said, theirctop bowler has a spell and another just as fast takes his place. A relentless attack. And Richards? He was phenomenal.

Whoever you are, the bouncer were first introduced in the infamous Bodyline series between Australia and England way back in 1930's. when Australia were on the other end. But having said that, Sir Viv Richards was the greatest batsman of all eras. he cleared boundaries in SCG and MCG when there were no ropes around the boundary line

@agbeagbe7772

Жыл бұрын

Incorrect. Bouncers had been used by fast bowlers ever since overarm bowling was legalised in the 1850s. And 'Bodyline' - the dreaded combination of bouncers with 'leg theory' , where you have a packed close leg side field - had also been seen in cricket before. It was often used on flat pitches in county cricket in England in the 1920s. The Nottinghamshire captain A.W. Carr, for example, was famous for deploying it in the 1920s, so Sussex player and future England 'Bodyline 'captain Jardine would have seen it often. In fact, Bradman was famously subjected to a bouncer barrage in a Australia match against Notts,I think, who had Larwood and Voce, the future Bodyline series opening bowlers, in the previous 1930 tour. This first gave English players the feeling that Bradman didn't like the short ball. So you're mistaken.

@@agbeagbe7772 I cant disagree with those facts but the fact still is that Sir Viv Richards, cleared fields on SCG and MCG when the boundaries were not shortened, for the gallery. Cricket is the only sports where apart from the 22 yards pitch, the ground has no real kind of measurement, in terms of rules or shape. But having said that, one of the reasons why a lot of sixes are being hit is mainly due to the quality of the willows which have been scientifically advanced. Not in older times when one has to knock those bats over a period of time. Nowadays one gets bats which has sweet spot all over them. And further more, during present times since the boundaries are shortened considerably, the batsman knows one good miss hit will clear boundaries. The primary observation was about *Sir Isaac Vivian Alexander Richards*

Excellent video mate - even as an Aussie who grew up in this era I appreciate your work. Thanks so much

We're not talking about averages, technique longevity etc. This is about the man who could intimidate any bowling attack anywhere, could turn a game on its head and created a buzz around the ground as soon as he entered the arena.

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

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

Viv Richards (without A Helmet) , Really a Great cricketer One of the Best Batsman Ever So story of 4 great Super fast west Indian bowlers started from Here. Thanks for Sharing this, thanks for your awesome commentary too

Love your narration - you captured that era so well. Loved West Indian cricket & especially Viv - what a force of nature he was 🔥

Goosebumps! When Viv got hit… My mind: Lag gaye Aus ke… Awesome narration bro!

Viv--Master Blaster of cricket

It's rightly said how your response to negativity and to your enemies defines your solidarity and character. Viv showed everyone.

The 2020 border gavaskar series was something similar I guess... Didn't work fir the Aussies this time around 😁 It's a shame the Windies took out their frustration on the Indian team later in the next series...

MAN, love your storytelling skills. For someone who has never seen him bat, it might be hard to fathom why he's called a G.O.A.T. but your storytelling does an excellent job❤️

Sir Viv is my idol.. Noone, absolutely noone so far in the history of the game is no match for him. With due respect to all world class players of then and now, Viv is a class apart. His swag, the aggression mixed with gentleness, the cool mindset, ferocious stare, fearless attitude makes him stand apart. He might not be the stylish or technically correct one.. Yet he is deadly effective. Imagine his team mates' confidence when the lion is around them..

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 😊

I just loved your commentary. So analytical and adequately dramatic. Wonderful!

Just an amazing story from an amazing story teller. ❤❤❤

You are welcome Sir! Thanks for making this video! Thank you to the game of cricket, and the gentleman who played it! 🇯🇲🇺🇸🖤🙏🏾

The one and only real king 🤴 Sir Viv Richard ❤...I love WI bowling squad even now...

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

What a phenomenal storyteller you are !!!!

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

That 1975-76 tour of Australia was awesome...first test in Brisbane was the first test I ever attended. Thommo was scary fast, Lillie brilliant, Chappells & Walters fantastic.

Just watch Steve Waugh’s face at the end of the video! What an amazing player Viv Richards was.

There is a big mistake in the timeline described here... the series referred to happened after the 1979 World Cup, and Australia and West Indies had played a test series before this in the Caribbean in 1978, which the West Indies won 2-1. Both teams were without some of their best players though. The larger points are valid though.

Because of WSC the Aussies were a 3rd string team.

That bouncer didn't change anything. Viv miss timed the hookshot and got hit. Either way, the West Indies went back to Australia for revenge and nothing would've prevented that. Viv Richards, The' Master Blaster'! Great video, thoroughly enjoyed!

What an inspirational story, hats off Sir Viv Richards 👍👌👏👏🙏🙏
