- This is a story of a bouncer
It starts from the 1975 west Indian tour of Australia
It was right at the steps of the 1975 world cup
And it was being labelled as the champion bout
On hand we had Clive Lloyds along with his young bucks including Vivian Richards and Gordon Greenridge
While the other had the legendry line-up of Thomson Dennis Lillie and the chapel brothers
They were hands down the best 2 teams in the world
And this series was gone decide the champion
Well
It could have
But Australians armed with the bouncer made quick short work of the calypso style of cricket
The entire west Indian line-up was so bruised with the 5-1 thrashing
That after returning home they even lost a series to India in the port of Spain
Failing to defend a target of 400
And so the captain Clive Lloyds decided to shift to an all pace line-up
Which in time became the terrifying pace attack that dominated world cricket for 2 straight decades
And while that pace attack wqas maturing
The master blaster viv Richards…himself started perfecting his persona
His attitude
His swagger
His image
In time becoming the Symbol of west Indian cricket
And then
As for the preparation of the 1979 world cup
West Indians once again visited Australia
This time armed with the fearsome foursome
Michael Holding, Colin Croft, Andy Roberts and Joel Garner
Who in matter similar to the Australians 4 years back
Went on to destroy the Australian line-up with their bouncers
But
While this tit for tat was going on
In came a hit to Viv Richards head
And the psychological tactics that went in after that
They for all intent and purposes
Shaped what was to soon come
This is a story of revenge of comeuppance of thrilling finish and lessons learnt
This a story of the birth of a dynasty
This is a story of a bouncer

Viv richards - the finest player of quality fast bowling. No batsman intimidated fast bowlers like him. Nobody
bodhi sattva sobers the three W hunte kanhai kalli butcher that your opinion as clint eastwood said opinion is life an ASSHOLE and every got one bud from nyc
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 👍
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* ....
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
Viv was best batsman of his time.
That look in Viv's eyes and that line 'you cannot let your opponent know you are hurt'!
Goosebumps
These 'young bucks' turned into such a formidable force. It was awesome to watch as a youngster. As an Aussie kid I admired Viv Richards immensely.
Michael Holding, a legend.
My mum's best friend discovered a love for cricket in that series due to Viv.🤣
"Ooh. He's delicious." She'd say and then giggle. But she learnt all the rules of cricket that summer and it was her and my grandfather who taught me to love it. So thanks Viv!👍
The world Celebrated on the Downfall of Australians and World Cried when West Indies had a downfall. This shows how much respect the West Indies team had those days.
Only Indians celebrated the downfall of Aussies😂
Next your downfall Starting. 🌚😅

@@PranavTarlapalli ya I'm doing now
It's sad to see a team that ruled the world cricket for 15 years , is now struggling to win a single match in a series .
You are correct brother but the main issue in west indies board is payment the players earn more money in t 20 league around the world compared to national team matches and their country board is not really strict like Bcci they won't care about players at all so all good players are retiring recently polard announced it so let's hope we can get good matches in t 20 world cup you know west indies when they play in T20 World Cup 😅
@@rameshhebbar5251 well said they dont care about the players
Circle of life dude....unless you are on top of the game with practice , practice and more practice.
@@zmarssojourner7435 dooest apply to the case of west indies
They lack the spirit and sense of unity along with new strategies and transformation. Also, they lack a captain like Clive Loyd, he was indeed a master strategist and great captain. They must understand that until and unless they will not start winning, there cricket board can not get rich.
The way you describe the humiliation of Australia, it's just epic.
What humiliation is game it is any rule that you cannot hit bouncer you running more than 30 yards and bowl continuously what you can do it's easy sit in a room and say good to ground
@@jaggithakur_ can you please re-phrase what you want to say?
@@Hirak_Mukherjee I mean what wrong they did is not allowed to do bouncer ?
@@jaggithakur_ see brother, I never said that bowling bouncers is wrong. In fact I am fully against the rules of limiting the number of bouncers that a bowler can bowl in an over. I enjoy more to see a batsman leaving the ground being injured than being out on a legitimate ball.
But when it comes to talk about Australia, England and Pakistan. I don't see anything good about them
@@Hirak_Mukherjee Your last statement is a subjective opinion. Let me tell you some facts. Australia? won the world cup. England? semi finalists. Pak? semifinalists.
your "country"? nowhere.
be precise and respectful or face the consequences
Just imagine what Sir Viv Richards would have done in a T20 match
Just imagine what Viv would've done with David Warner's bat and not the toothpicks he had to play with.
He would have tore appart current bowlers at will. None could stand his massacre.
50000 runs in whole cricket
He was the greatest ever
@@abdulMannan-jp5se you worry about your country Pakistan need not worry about Indian or other countries cricketers
Loved this! The atmosphere of that time was captured perfectly. The West Indies took on an air of invincibility. And Viv Richards, wow what a legend. My favourite cricketer of all time.
Sir Viv Richards - no wonder he is called the King 👑👑
He is the original king.
He is the real King👑
Set your Battak first.
🙆
@@shyamprasad9575even viv richrds is virat kohli fan. Check interview of sir viv richrds.
Also hitman🇮🇳😅
The greatest of Viv is that he doesn’t give a damn respect or fear to opponent bowler (which humiliate those bowlers and team psychologically) really a batter with perfect attitude & confidence which is at the point of perfection, not less nor more.
Well said
People who are saying Vivian richards is better than Gavaskar fail to point out the unlike Gavaskar , Vivian never faced the Four Horseman of Apocalypse Pace Attack since they were in his team .
Just like how Ricky Pointing never face the greatest bowling team of 2000s -McGrath and Warne in International cricket
@@aniket385 you have a point but then again ViV did face the four some just not all at once and he dominated the foursome knew as long as VIV in the team no other team would beat them hope this help
@@aniket385 You can also make the same point about Gavaskar , because Richards dominated the Indian spinners whom Gavaskar didn't have to play against because they played on the same team.
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.
The great “Sir” Viv Richards - really the king of cricket batting.
What a treat to have watched him play!
This video just makes sure that the Indian cricket team of 1982 WC deserves even much more respect
1983
Deserve enough respect to get the year right, certainly...
😂😅mc
Kushal... I see your comment today only but feel sorry for you not editing your comment! Lol😮
Do it Now, as an Indian, you or myself don't have a luxury to get the year wrong when we got our first World Cup when we call ourselves the biggest cricketing nation on this planet. Common sense should always prevail!

Sir Viv Richards - Most Dangerous Batsman Ever
And Malcolm Marshall the most dangerous bowler.

One of the greatest story telling I have come across in channels. Not only the video, but the audio, with just right intonations. Simply great.
Viv Richards deserves a movie of his own
Yes
The G.O.A.T , I can watch Sir Viv bat my whole life ! many come many go but none near Sir I.V.A. Richards 🙏
Sir but these 20 /20 era nobody acknowledges sir vivian Richards achievement
Brian Lara, Sachin Tendulkar....ect ect
@iamempress292 as great as they were they didn't intimidate bowlers like viv.. not even close
Everybody from every country loved it when this team beat them, English, Australians, Pakistanis, Indians all speak with such fondness and awe of this West Indian team beating their team, it says a lot when your opponents respect you to the point its a pleasure getting beat by you. That can never be said about any other team out there in any sport but this all-conquering West Indies team.
My father used to tell me about the stories of the lethal WestIndian bowling lineup I always thought he might be hyping that, but after seeing this, I literally got goosebumps!!! And your oration is just wowwww!!!
That's why he is the ultimate KING. I have heard a few dozens of 70s and 80s players saying that nobody played the game like the king and his swagger was a sight to behold.
His mere sight of walking into the pitch will send shivers down the spine for any bowler...
The name is,
Sir Isaac Vivian Alexander Richards.
The most loved, respected and feared team EVER!
The Windies of the 70s and 80s.
The team, the man with chew gum..... A Crown.. Will remain forever, that nobody can snatch, till cricket dies.
Great Clive, GREAT.... VIV
The greatest cricket team the world has ever seen. I am proud to have seen them first hand. Thankyou Windies from this England supporter
Whenever I feel myself detach from this sport , I watch your videos.... And the goosebumps I get !!!
Just hats off to you brother for making this channel ❤️
Don't cling on to the sport! Cling on to the wonderful stories and the story-tellers! Afterall, it's just a game, but it's definitely part of life and can have wonderful lessons for life!

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 .
Dude the way you explained this had rekindled those forgotten moments of the historical matches in my mind. Wow what a superb way of telling the story!!
The event of rivalry between these two teams became like thriller movie when u explained... bhaiya!!
Nowadays australia's d team can demolish west Indies in every format at any venue at any time nowadays west Indies are minnows
What a team! Lloyd, Richards, Kallicharran, Greenidge, Haynes, Roberts, Holding, Holder, Marshall, Garner…….. watching them destroy England in England, as an Englishman, was genuinely a pleasure. Ask to name English cricketers and I struggle. What a team!!
you must be a Scottish!!! 😜
You forgot gomes
@@user-ib8yf5cm4r ah dear old Larry. How remiss. I’m not sure Holder and Garner played in the same team either but you get the gist
Yes, great players. But the imput of captain, Clive Lloyd, has been vastly understated in my view. A top class batsman and a amazing tactician. His use of his players abilities was masterful. I can think of no-one better. One thing I recall with a smile was when an Aussie fast bowler bounced one at a WI fast bowler who was batting. The great Richie Benaud, who was commenting, dropped the remark about the Aussie bowler, ‘I’d think again about doing that if I were him’.
How the he'll you could leave out mr. Dependable Larry gomes.
Thanks for taking us into the heart of this story the way many sports channels do not. The intensity of the contest and personality of the players comes across.
That stare from viv🔥🔥🔥
Really enjoyed this video, thank you!
The Windies.. wow, I remember those days. Marshall, Roberts, Garner, Holding. And the batting line up Haynes, Grenidge, Lloyd, Richards.. what an era!
Viv Richards was like Superman saying "Not Impressed" with swagger to every bowler who bowled at him.....
The best I've seen. And I've seen Tendulkar, Ponting, Hayden, Lara. He was just intimidating. And that swagger!
Swam, your presentation of the dramatic psychological events are absolutely brilliant and engrossing. Your way of delivering the story immaculate as it hits the head of the nail to perfection
I grew up watching the Windies crush us it was brilliant.They are my favourite team and its awesome to see the Windies finally back to playing some great test cricket again.Go Pooran your capable of more bud..Go Windies..
The team has been improving but there still is a lot of room for improvement. We don't have a number 3 batsman, we are prone to batting collapses and sometimes our bowlers lose the plot and let any advantage they have slip away. However if the coach can rub down the rough edges n get the machine running smoothly, who knows?
THE greatest batsman ever. I was privileged to watch him play for Somerset numerous times
Excellent video mate - even as an Aussie who grew up in this era I appreciate your work. Thanks so much
Strong Indian-accented narration notwithstanding, this is just the finest portrayal of the making and initiation of the "fearsome foursome" ever! I am WIndian myself and a casual cricket fan but never was as clear about what took place then as I am now. Great information, CRE, and wonderful perspective. Thanks a lot!
--Æ.
You don't like the accent? You can p*** right off.
An Indian narrator having a strong Indian accent is odd to you?
@@arunavagupta9382, in case it's the word "WIndian" that confuses you, most cricketing folks know that to mean "West Indian", so I apologise if you weren't aware. If that's not it, than go look for your fight somewhere else.
--Æ.
Might consider reading the comments you reply to champ. The narrator of the video is Indian, I have not mentioned your nationality anywhere. It is completely natural to have an accent, ergo there was no need to comment on his "strong Indian-accented narration", and not everything not to your liking is a "fight". Enjoy your day.
@@arunavagupta9382, you, yourself, might consider not commenting where your comment is unnecessary. "Strong Indian-accented narration notwithstanding..." is what I prefaced my comment with, and I stand by that. What that suggests is that I had some level of difficulty following... yet I "never was as clear about what took place then as I am now".
I see 35 likes there in the 11 months since posting and you're the first to take issue with something. Enjoy your day too, bigger champ.

Viv Richard - An Undisputed GOAT of Cricket.
NO. YOU PUTTING HIM OVER GARY SOBERS? BRADMAN? TENDULKAR? GAVASKAR?LARA? THINK ABOUT IT.
GOAT GOES TO BRADMAN!
Though the highlight was king viv here let’s not forget what a great captain Clive Lloyd was. The role that he played here will probably define him as the greatest captain cricket has ever seen .
Love your narration - you captured that era so well. Loved West Indian cricket & especially Viv - what a force of nature he was 🔥
OUTSTANDING! Learning so much about Viv Richards
"Fire in Babylon" a documentary on the rise of West Indies as a cricket superpower. I recommend every cricket fan to watch it.
Where is this available
The word grovel ...
Love the documentary as it is told from the eyes of a fan , cricket journalist its earthy.. Also India was the first team to see the origins of this approach ... in the doc gavaskar gave up the match
dekhna hoga
Absolutely 💯
The swagger on that man is epic. So glad I got to see Viv play live, even though it was the third day in Sydney 1985. Just a joy to watch him play.
Thanks for making this. Although I remember how dominant the West Indies were for so long and remember their inaugural World Cup win, I just assumed that their rise to the top had started around the time of that victory and continued uninterrupted. Their heavy defeat in Australia following the World Cup had completely slipped under my radar.
Nobody in Australia cared about the World Cup back then, it was seen as Mickey Mouse.
Yeah sure, nobody in Australia cared about worldcup while wiping of their crocodile tears. The excuses lol
The Legend 👍 sir Viv Richards.
Lesson: when u go through the pain it is like hurting but when u continuously go through some pain there is the capability inside u which comes out with this response.for a reason sir viv Richards a legend
🙏
You are welcome Sir! Thanks for making this video! Thank you to the game of cricket, and the gentleman who played it! 🇯🇲🇺🇸🖤🙏🏾
The fire, the intensity, the will, the character to turn things around is what lured me to cricket as a youngster.
Only a handful possess that trait on-field now
It gives pleasure to hear the courageous persons who fought in the past memorable battles.
Viv Richards is ever hero
I grew up as a kid in the 80s watching this great west Indian team and always went to the oval as my local ground to see them play england. It was the only time I tried to get the opposition signatures yet so did a lot of england fans. I loved botham Gooch and gower yet my favourite all time cricketer is viv richards amazing batsman.
Sir Viv Richards, a legend who can send the same ball in three diffrent directions for a six,,,, love you Sir
Sir Vivian is an inspiration to cricketers of every generation. What a player
Ambrose Walsh holder the west Indies attack still gives me nightmares and the pure swarveness of the batters unstoppable
Holder🤣🤣
He is mentioning bowlers from different timelines and talking about nightmares as though he faced them 🤣🤣
Ambrose Walsh Dillon
@@maheshbhaskaran6639 haha! But maybe he meant nightmares quite literally. Anything is possible when you are dreaming!

They lost to New Zealand in NZ during that time , the only loss
@@aniket385 They was robbed by horrible umpires
@@hadtrt3456 Rubbish. I agree that the umpiring was crap, but their technique against Hadlee was awful. They would've lost, even without the umps....

Just love your story telling, Sir Viv Richards & the rest of the WI team brought the thrill to cricket 🏏. I waiting for them to do it again just like the old days 😀
I became a fan of Viv Richards after seeing this video.. Didn't know much about this test series vs Australia before..
Watch Fire in Babylon documentary.
What an inspirational story, hats off Sir Viv Richards 👍👌👏👏🙏🙏
thanks for this piece of history reminding us of the glory days when west indies cricketers was doninant and serious about their cricket now is ashame to see how we are struggling against teams like Netherlands,Scotland etc
Loved that West Indies team. Pure excitement!
I have had the fortune to see that WI team in action live. Must say it was one of the best teams in the world. Viv Richards was the best batsman I have seen.
EPIC, Viv Richard, the bearer of two edge sword in cricket..

All put together in the perfect rhythm backed by your amazing voice. 🫡🫡🫡
Just an amazing story from an amazing story teller. ❤❤❤
One of the greatest cricket stories i came across perhaps the best of sporting history 👏
Sir Viv Respect. Kids of 80s and me being one. Take a bow.
What a phenomenal storyteller you are !!!!
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
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*
Lovely clippings about the greatest of cricket player Viv Richard proving the might of the African Origin entire team of West Indies. A humbke salute to all but a special one for my favorite VIV RICHARDS💕💕💕🙏👍👏👌🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
It's rightly said how your response to negativity and to your enemies defines your solidarity and character. Viv showed everyone.
As well as his tough attitude, let's not forget, he was also an amazing athlete.
01:25... never seen a Yorker like that.....that's sheer brutal pace.....
That was Thommo bowling in the Fastest Bowler competition of 1979. He won both trophies: speed and accuracy. And here's the kicker: he wasn't even playing, he was banned from playing for a year!
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.
Thanks for this wonderful video!!
I am lucky i had watched Sir Viv batting in my childhood. Love from India Viv Sir 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
The walk of viv richards is like a lion entering💪
I'm a big fan of cricket, this is so far an untold story for me. Man, narration for the story was took me on the field and felt like Sir Viv.
Your story telling is such amazing along with your scripts, these stories of this great game can make everyone a cricket fan.
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.
Beautiful narration and amazingly compiled story. You make cricket interesting when I almost lost interest. Thanks!!
Worst narration. His over dramatization is so cringe that you cant go past 30 secs.
Love it; always Sports can deliver a STRONG mindset to society to fight back like a champion; Thanks for the video
West indies was My fav cricket team ..ballers batsmen fielders the vengeance of fast ruthless bowlers and courageous defiant sir viv Richards.. a treat to watch..in late 70s and 80s.
I was literally hoping that u might see fire in babylon sometime...its nice that somebody finally told that story at a good platform
These days batsman fear bouncer even after wearing helmet those days viv Richards batted without wearing helmet with just a cap. Showed his supremacy. What a fierce rivalry those days
People who are saying Vivian richards is better than Gavaskar fail to point out the unlike Gavaskar , Vivian never faced the Four Horseman of Apocalypse Pace Attack since they were in his team .
Just like how Ricky Pointing never face the greatest bowling team of 2000s -McGrath and Warne in International cricket
@@aniket385 seems u didn't see the Aussie fastball line up was equally good intimidating based on attack west Indies bowler came. He was very aggressive one if greatest
Second where gavaskar came to picture I never mentioned about him. Gavaskar was different kind of batsman. So Vivian didn't face fast bowlers wrong Australia England had very good attack.you are talking great Vivian not some ordinary one after 1975 Australia tour wi cricket and Vivian approach changed also Vivian didn't were helmet for delibrate reasons and dominance he shown was close to none
The King of cricket. The fearless Viv Richard!!
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 the way you describe Cricket 🏏 Stories of Legends. It sounds like legendary tales of Mahabharata.
