    I'm glad that Viv retired when he did !
    You see so many people of sports carry on , well past their best , that at times they can be sad to watch !
    I grew up watching Viv Richards , and feel very blessed to have watched him play at his brilliant best !

    I cannot abide Ian Botham's conservative politics and his little England Brexit views BUT his support for Viv and Joel shows he is clearly a good man and a man to whom fair play is natural and to whom racism is an utter anathema. So thanks Ian for your honesty and integrity in supporting your friends against the Somerset 'committee' and Roebuck - And I was there at the Oval for Viv's last test innings - a huge privilege to see that ..

    Playing with solid protective gears refined pitches and playing without helmets protective gears uncured rough uneven pitches its like earth and sky distance. I have played season cricket and I know exactly what it means. No limitations of bouncers and yet walk with that style the swagger, the arrogance, destroy bowlers all around the world anywhere any location any time..that's my and my fathers favorite Sir Viv Richards .The Rolls Royce of Batting....Amazing Phenomenal Awesome Super Duper Mesmerizing. The game changed to the 5th Gear the moment Viv started just walking to the batting crease. it was game on....I am here to destroy you all show me what you have got to the bowlers and opposition. We always prayed that Greenidge or Haynes get out quickly as We enjoyed Viv destroy bowling like T20 about 30-35 years back unbelievable batting hitting cleanly & yet very stylish absolutely brilliant and stunning.
    Ferrari Bugatti Rolls-Royce of Batting.
    The moment Viv came to bat the game changed to fastest gear open challenge to bowlers I'm going to go after you all especially the best bowler of the team. fearless aggressive. Remember always when you talk discuss records compare with protective gears helmets power bats and so on the latest sophisticated equipment gadgets the limitations of bouncers by bowlers and without all of the above. No current batsmen will dare to do what Richards Gavaskar did play without ⛑️sophisticated helmets protective gears on uncovered highly lethal dangerous uneven pitches . Rolls Royce of Batting fearless dangerous very aggressive animal instincts without helmets protective gears and no limitations of bouncers Huge difference to play with and without protective gears and unlimited bouncers short pitched bowling. The game changed to the topmost gear the moment Viv Richards stepped on to the ground his entry itself was sufficient, his style walk, taking guard said to the opposition I am here now show me what you got and I am here to destroy you all especially the best bowler of your team nowadays batsmen attack identity weak bowlers Viv attacked destroyed every teams most fearsome bowlers. I always wanted Greenidge or Haynes to get out quickly as I loved to watch Viv enter and murder hammer blast destroy the best bowlers of the era

      Nah...viv wsd bettrr than sobers as a pure batsman. Viv played in a fully professiknal time. Cricket in the late 70s wss kicked out of the stone age into the modern world. Which mesnt that the playerd were fitter, stronger and faster. In WSC, viv played the fastest bowlers in history and managed the most runs and best average of all the batsmen. Agsinst ghr likes of......Imran, Lillee, Psscoe, Walker, Procter, Garth Le Roux on makeshift pitches which from all reports eere at times dangerous.
