10/10 From Me
Thank you!!
Undoubtedly the greatest batsman I have ever seen. No one could ever even imagine of playing like Richards. The way he batted without helmet, the way he walked, the way he carried himself - everything graceful and unique. The Biggest Boss!
Yess
Viv Richards was the greatest batsman I ever saw. Rank him above Tendulkar, Lara and Kohli.He was absolutely fearless and intimidating to bowlers.Also he was an excellent captain and a truly brilliant fielder.
One of the best!
And a gentleman as well....
I appreciate your comments.
You have potential to judge the batting.
Not fear you took all of my comments. Have a blessed day my friend.
Michael Holding said Sir Viv Richards was a Team Man he wasn’t concerned about personal glory.
Yeah
That is one cricket topic for which I won't engage in a debate. Viv was the greatest, FULL STOP...
Exactly 💯
The Greatest Fearless batsman who faced fastest bowlers with ease.
There is no doubt viv is GOAT batsman in the world till now... plz don't argue..
I agree with you simply the best, better than all the rest😊
Agreed, He is the inventor of Modern-Day Batting as well , He played Bazball/T20 way before people invented it
He faced the fastest bowlers in the world without wearing helmet, a fearless batsman, take a bow Sir Viv
The luckiest thing in my life was being around on little rural Somerset county grounds in the 70s when Richards was coming into his own. I had his autograph on a scorecard, he was already an international star but always found time to chat with supporters, especially youngsters, during intervals. His career batting totals were eclipsed by the more careful great men of the game, because he was not playing to accumulate runs. He was playing to win matches and that is done by brutal fast scoring and psychological domination. The King of cricket in his day, and under his captaincy West Indies, the smallest and poorest Test nation, conquered the world of cricket.
💯💯
He was 50 years ahead during his time. Greatest Batsman. 🎉❤
One of the best
So that puts 99.94 eternally ahead of his time, yeah?
Exactly!! This is the same line which I was going to write.
The Master Blaster in cricket attributed to Sir Viv is no mean achievement it spoke of authority, confidence, power, and grace in his overall performance but especially batting. Well done Sir Viv. Take a bow.
Agreed
Everyone talks - with ample reason - about what a spectacular and exciting player he was. However, I've always felt he rated highly as a stylist as well. He was an elegant-looking, eye-pleasing batsman with a classical-looking cover-drive.
Yeah
His autobiography Viv is literally the best one of all sportsmen I've come across.
The greatest batsmen of all times in my opinion.
One of the best🔥
He was way ahead of his time. Genius indeed.
Agreed!
He picked up the line and length a fraction of a second quicker than mere mortals allied with his lightning reflexes made him at times almost impossible to bowl to, just simply a truly great batsman
One of the best
His arragont face and handsome look is so good.hats of king viv.
Richards batting is the best we would have ever seen in the history of cricket. No batsman ever come close to him. Richards hitting six over squareleg on a yorker..brilliant stuff.
Yesss
My respect and honour to you sir for such a compact , beautiful , and respectful piece on the great man.
We love him and his great feats . Bless you sir Viv.
Thank you sir.
Not just the greatest batsman.
The most socially aware cricketer.
To see him wear that ites green and gold wrist band was an enormous political psychological spiritual mental symbolic subliminal message sent by him to the world.
He wrestled not just bat and ball but was the epitome of what HERO means to all those who fight for freedom justice and equal rights.
Wonderful tribute to the King. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Salute to the one and the only king of cricket- Sir Viv Richards
Yess
Sir Gary was the best all-round cricketer, but Sir Viv the greatest batsmen.
Yeah, one of the greatest
Viv the batsman every one would aspire to the greatest untouchable the king , my happiest time watching cricket to see the master . Thank you viv my hero.....
And he never wore a helmet at anytime during his career for West Indies and faced the fastest bowlers in the history of Cricket.
Yess
Right. I have seen him not to wear a helmet in his carrear
ⁿᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒ....
ˢᵘⁿⁱˡ ᵍᵃʷᵃˢᵏᵃʳ ᶠᵃᶜᵉᵈ ᵗʰᵉ ᶠᵃˢᵗᵉˢᵗ ᵇᵃˡˡᵉʳ ⁿᵒᵗ ˢⁱʳ ᵛⁱᵛ

Every single batsman, all-rounder , wicket-keeper and specialist bowler of the day batted bare-headed. Just as they had since the first Test match in WG Grace's time.
And Viv never faced his own brutal bowlers. Had he played for India in exchange for Gavaskar, he would have averaged 45 and Sunny 60+.
Get a grip on reality.
Douglas Jardine invented Bodyline for Bradman. His fast-bowling strength, Larwood, Bill Voce, Gubby Allen, would have eliminated IVA with their leg-side field.
Richards was like Tendulkar, great when in a position of strength, otherwise lose your composure, get out, then sulk in the dressing room.
A truly great player that made the game look easy
Yess
If Viv Richards was at his peak today, he would be cricket's first billionaire.
No doubt
Such a handsome batsman and so attractive looking batsman.I love king Viv.
Sir Viv used a time machine to travel to 2023, watched Ben Duckett bat and that is how he could play so aggressively. Too bad that Viv didn't give him credit in any of his interviews.
I agree with you and this man have never wear a helmet in his batting career
Yeah
Yes, I met him&presented him with a beautiful piece of art in cricket(created all by myself) for which he wrote best comments (compliments)& he wrote his Antigua address on my notebook! His home name is "Gambles Terrace"! I wish him good health! 🌹 ❤🏏
Oh that's so cool!!
Wat a cricketer, The BIG BOSS OF CRICKET, what a Swagger. The way he handled the pace of imran, Lillee and Thomson, the English pace battery.
Exactly
Viv Richards Sachin Tendulkar Virender Sehwag Brian Lara And Shoaib Akhtar Are My All Time Favourites ❤❤
They are all legends
Wow! Did not know Richards played for Antiguan national football team as well! Much respect! Talk about skillz!
Meh Fav batsmen as well.
He was out of this world!
Just so smoothly confident. We used to think Clive Lloyd "The Cat, The Big C, Super Cat" was smooth but Viv was something else.
I delayed the start of my first real job to see the 1975 6th Test Aus v WI. Watching Lillee, Thompson, Richards, Lloyd, Kallicharan, Chapelli, Chappell G. Great memories!
Bradman, sobers& viv richards will be included in all time greatest eleven in everybody's list.
Exactly 💯
In my humble opinion. Vivian Richards (The Master Blaster) was the most feared Batsman that ever played the game of Cricket.
Even Pakistan former Captain Imran Khan said that Viv Richards was the greatest Batsman he had seen.
Yeah
Hundred percent i believe this,viv is the best i saw in you tube.
Yeah
His style. Swagger. Confidence. Gum chewing. ❤
GOAT
Makes cricketers these days look like novices. Also remember there were no fielding restrictions or tiny grounds or bowling bouncer restrictions.
Viv
One and only
Great video ❤
The best🔥
One other factor you ought to have mentioned: he didn't have the super-powerful bats that they had in the 21st century.
What the hell might Viv have done with one of them?
My All Time Favourite Batsman and cricketer,! Im His biggest fan ❤️🙏🏼from India!/ I heard he was Sachins idol as well! 🙏🏼
One of the best🔥
Amazing insight bro thanks for doing such a marvelous video of a true champion of the game of cricket.
Glad you liked the video. Thank you so much.
I was privileged to have grown up watching Sir Viv Richards. For me, hands down the best batsman. There is an excellent documentary on his rise to the top, it’s on youtube.
Viv faced pace batteries of those times who were deadly and destructive like those of England , Australia and New Zealand,never seen him rattled by pace and swing
Even played class spinners of those times with ease.....
In bowling he had broken many good partnerships with his off-breaks......a complete cricketer of all time who could be matched with no one..
Agreed
A cricketing marvel , an unparalleled batsman , a legend. No comparison.
🎉🎉🎉
Yesss
It's the fact that he played his whole career without wearing a helmet, knowing that one mistake could have serious consequences, is what makes him a legend. Even if we get other players who will probably match his productivity both in tests and odi, the fearlessness and courage will always set him apart.
Sadguru one of his interview said to Chris Gayle that his favourite is Vivian Richards and he also said nobody till today nobody bats like him,i totally agree to sadguru Sir.
Yeah
True, I haven't seen any bowler intimidating viv richards. Instead the reverse often happened.
No cricketer can compare with legend Sir Viv Richards❤❤❤❤❤❤
True
D
G
Bradman.
💯 percent spot on 👍
Sir Garfield sobers was the greatest cricketer that ever lived
Irrespective of his records, I have never seen a batsman who struck fear & awe among the opposition players like Viv did. Getting his wicket was like getting thru half their line-up!
Yess
Yes he is really fearless and brave cricketer
Exactly
Greatest ever. He is simply incomparable,
Yeah
Viv Richards Simply The Best No Other In Same The Same Class❤
Agreed
All ways the best nd most entertaining batsmen ever, cricket could give. My most beloved batsman,. Player nd gentleman. Hats off Sir Viv
One of the best of all time
He was rightly called the King. See the way he bats style with aggression that is Viv.
Yesss
Sir Viv my inspiration in cricket.
Viv is ultimate,no batsman even stand near to master.
I have fortunately seen many great vivs knocks.
You are lucky to witness the great Viv Richards🔥
The 80s and 90s gen appreciates the legends. We always acknowledge the legacy even though we do comparisons. The current gen however, is all about putting previous gen players down, just to prove that the current Batsmen are the best of all time.
It's obvious, the new generations will play better because of the training facilities, technology, bats, etc. We have more shots than before, we have better catches than before or whatever. But we need to always appreciate and respect previous legends. That said, of course, there are some sensational players in today's era
Viv is the best batsman I've seen. His footwork is incredible.
Yess
Real King
exactly
He was imperious! He didn’t just command the crease, he owned the whole cricket ground.
Exactly
How good actually? He was amazing i have been watching cricket for over 50 years and at his best there has been none better. I have seen many great batsmen some no longer talked about but Viv is the best i have seen.
No helmet .. uncovered pitches and he played to win in style / intimidation and fear by only looking .. today them pump jump dance like monkeys .. he was a true genius and when he walked to the ground .. there was fear !! Legend
Exactly
*In the era of paper-thin bats, long boundaries, no bouncer restriction rules, no free hit BS rule, and having to face the likes of Lilly, Thomspon, Headly, Imram and Botham on uncured pitches ..... HE WAS THE KING OF KINGS !!!*
Exactly
the charisma was unmatched
Exactly
This was an incredible era very inspiring
Exactly 💯
Absolutely the greatest. No doubt about that.
Yeah
Viv was the boss!!!
Yeah!
There will never be another IVA RICHARDS that's how good was he
Agreed 100%
The Greatest batsman who faced fearsome bowlers without wearing a helmet. His body language, swagger, arrogance remain unmatched.
No body in the world could match but viv Richards
Agreed 100%
Sir Viv.................. the original Swagger!
Yes, indeed!
Certainly one of the greats. From 1976 to the early/mid 80s he was the best Windies batsman. Didnt use a helmet against non West Indian bowlers .
He would have been awesome in any era of the game , I saw nearly last 6-7 yrs of his career, he still was sublime how good he must have been in his prime?. Saw him doing nets against the late great Malcom marshall prior to their match smashed 5 out of the 6 balls and Malcom was bowling in the nets with a fiery pace. Also made 50 in that match he took on Abdul Qadir who at that time was a premier legspiner . Finally he was removed by Imran Khan but never I have seen people so crazy about dismisal of a batsmen, people were jumping and dancing on the chairs such a prized wicket he was for then opposition . He was particularly tough on rookies loved the challenge from any bowlers never had fear in his eyes against any quick bowlers.if people like Richie Richardson,Sachin Tendulkar ,Arvinda di Silva,Saeed Anwar,Inzamam UL Haq,Brian Lara all idolized him and wanted to bat like him is a testament to how dominating he must have been on the bowlers.
. A true legend of the game.
may your legacy as a cricket great be remembered for a long time.
Greatest ever even if in T20
Yeah!
He was made captain in 1985 after Clive Lloyd retired.
Yes yes thanks for correcting
A master class batsman in the history of the cricket no one can't compare this batsman to any other batsman
Yess
The Master Blaster
Yeah!
Sir Viv was the greatest batsman. He played against the fastest bowlers in the world.
Yeah
Without doubt Viv was the best batter ever
A master class batsman sir vivian Richards
Yes
He never batted against his own bowlers.
Then the fearlessness can be commented.
He faced meek and docile bowlers
Ooo richard was most beautiful cricketer
Yeah!
Imran Khan said the way Richards plays with the handle of the bat he intimidated all the bowlers
He was the best
Great stuff bro, great work with the visuals🎉
Thank you so much🙌
Greatest batsman ever
yes
I can’t even imagine someone not wearing a helmet against fierce fast bowlers and smashing all over the park
Greatest of all time
Yeah
If Viv is playing today he would have literally murdered every bowling line up present.
Exactly, would have loved to watch Viv Richards bat in this era
A Great Bowler Fielder Alrounder.
Yesss
The greatest ever batsman. Period. No arguments.
Sir viv, The greatest in his time❤❤
Yesss
There is no doubt that Viv is the GOAT batsman of the world till now.. plz don't argue..
🔥🔥
Sir Vivian Richards is better batsman than Virat Kohli ......... According to me...... It seems.
He is one of the best
I've been an ardent fan of Sir Viv's batting. Until Sachin came along. Now, these two are my most favorites. I hate making comparisons. They are exclusive in their own rights and styles.
Yes both are the best
@@CricketStories007, both were bowlers' terror.
Lara better than Sachin.
@@delta_tango_dt ask Lara.
Would the other great batsmen that arrived on the scene after him have averaged their's in both formats , had they not worn a helmet??? This answers most of the questions w.r.t Sir Viv . Simply he has been the greatest perhaps baring a certain 99.94 averaging Sir Don .
The BEST batsman EVER.
Yesss
Only one Richards🎉
Yesss
Class of his own❤
Exactly
Liked and subscribed, keep it up bro
Thank you so much!
Greatest ever
The best in my opinion to have the played the game of cricket 🎉
Yess agreed
True every single word.
Yesss
