ENGLAND v WEST INDIES ODI #1 OLD TRAFFORD MAY 31 1984 EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS 

No other batsman in world cricket at this time had the strength, quickness of eye, range of strokes, temperament, discipline or desire that Viv Richards demonstrated here in this clinical and brutal dismantling of England's bowling attack. It's not that the bowlers didn't bowl well at him. He simply didn't let them bowl at or to him at all. A masterclass from the master blaster !

That's Viv,the greatest! Yes,I met him twice& presented him too with a beautiful replica(model) of a Cricket Stadium for which he wrote great compliments for me..he wrote: "I will find a special place in my house for this wonderful bit of art"&he wrote his address too:Gambles Terrace, Antigua! Later I also presented a similar one to Sir Gary Sobers who too wrote great compliments for my art work.He wrote:"....I should treasure this for a very long time& remember my trip to Bombay with fond memories!" Well,that's Sir Viv Richards&Sir Gary Sobers! But none of our Indian Cricketers gave me such wonderful comments but criticism!Well, it's our misfortune &we know it well how&what we are!!😂😂😂

Greatest inning by a batsman in ODI history. It's not just the 189* but the way he held that inning together with Michael Holden at the end

That is the only cricket match I have ever watched live, and it was fantastic - even for a foreigner (from a non-cricketing country)

Sir Viv... the greatest of all time

Best innings of all times in cricket history. Irrespective of what happening at other end Viv clobered from his end.

He scored almost a hundred with Holding at the other end ...incredible !!!

Sir Vivian Richards What a class act !! Just brilliant to watch - some of those boundries were just a flick of the wrist! His timing and placing was on a another level !

Viv. The best batsman in my lifetime. This one of the best innings of all timd.

And as happened so often in those days while others were falling Viv Richards coped with whatever was thrown at him, great days, viva Viv Richards and Ian Botham. Fantastic days of cricket.

The great man Viv Richards.

Yes beautiful batting Viv Richards well played

The last shot of Viv was incredible. Botham targets the legs and bowls a full delivery to cramp the great man. Viv digs it out and straight/off drives it. The timing and power is so immense that it beats the fielder at widish long off. Incredible. Any other batsman couldnt have got more than 2 from that delivery.

Best odi innings

West Indies team was the best of the 70s and the80s of my time great team

One of the best innings I have ever seen

I wonder how many huge scores Sir Viv would get these days with the (generally) much smaller boundaries.

The favorite batsman of the great bowlers.

Went past Old Trafford cricket ground in January , all concrete and glass looked better in the old days it seems but admittedly İ have never been in the ground

My favourite player in the field of cricket , sir Vivian Richards

the best innings i ever saw the great man Richards play

An innings should be measured by what happens around them. England dominated with one exception. The Windies scorecard was a sorry sight with one exception.

Great batsman in history of world cricket. Love to Viv Rechard sir

Mind blowing batting 😍😍Stunning to watch

All those 5 sixes cleared over 100+ meters and in today's cricket Viv would have scored 250+ in the same time...Brutally Master Class.

Against a strong physique of viv there is another class , in very lean and thin David Gover. One of the all time class.

Viv Richards the best batsman ever.

A violent assault on the English bowling, he didn’t even celebrate when he set the world record.

I didn't know that Holden could bat very good

The best one day innings in the history of the game. Sir is the Grand Master of batting

Never seen the Batting of Vivian Richards hundred

Can’t bowl against that!🤣

Bairstow with a short sleeved shirt on. Village.

Foster treated like a mediocre spinner.

Derek Pringle, do me a favour!🙄🤦
