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

nerd,

vivian richards carries a charismatic aura with him which no other cricketer had i think..i mean the heroic attitude,body language and persona.

sachin is adored like a our home kid...but richards had been watched like a hero
