checked the stats in cricinfo just now.
Viv made 1710 runs in 1976 ( 2 double centuries, 5 centuries, 5 half centuries, 5 20+ scores, 2 single-digit scores in 19 innings ). WOW - A world record for most runs in a calendar year which he held for 30 years. only Mohammad Yousuf broke it in 2007.

Oh yeah... I think he repeated the same feat (or was it before this series) in England also (189 and 181 were his scores i think)

Dennis lillee to Viv richards
whata bowling exhibition
first ball - a clear intimation of what lillee was trying
second ball - nasty bouncer just over the head- reaction of richards was
third ball- nasty bouncer over the head- richards trying to hook rather than leaving it over the head without helmet
fourth ball - nasty bouncer again ...it was like lillee want to end richards career
fifth ball - richards defends on the back foot expecting a bouncer
last ball - perfect inswing . ..*bang*
chance illa...
thanks af

fastest test century - vivian richards
*A RARE SCENE IN THE TEST MATCH
everyone at boundary.no slips.noone in inner circle.bowthAm bowls with the anticipation of richards hitting a confortable single or getting caught at long !
richards hits the ball for a massive six on leg side
he looks like a boxer in the cricket field

Thanks Viv
4 bouncers on the trot is fatal. Now its just one per over. Players safety is much bigger than the game
