Sir Viv Richards - The Undisputed King of Cricket - With English Subtitles -  

Gavaskar has a way of giving twisted compliments like these - mainly because he tried so hard via records and stats to be seen as the best, but found that the non-Mumbai cricketing world simply did not use “number of centuries” or aggregate records to judge greatness. Leave aside Number Five or whatever, the best batsman of that era was unquestionably Viv Richards. Second was Greg Chappell. Among openers, Gordon Greenidge was not far behind. Then there were Barry Richards and Zaheer Abbas. All the above could dominate a bowling attack and take control of the game. Not just defend and hang on for dear life to make slow, big scores in drawn matches.

You are totally wrong. Gavaskar was badically a test cricket opening batsman and his game was meant for 5 or 6 days test match. He adopted this batting style from his mahaguru/mentor Hanif sahab(Hanif Mohammad).Gavaskar was well built small man with height 165 cm.If you want to know about his class then see the scorecard of 1987 Bengaluru test match against Pakistan when he scored 96 runs out of total of 204 runs on a rank turner when the next highest score was 27 (extras). Gavaskar gave a masterly exhibition of technique and judgement. Third highest was 26 by Mohammad Azharuddin. Imran once said I don't like to bowl to Gavaskar because it is very difficult to out him.Instead I will like to bat with him and will learn batting lessons. They both batted at Lord's London in August 1987 for Rest of the world against MCC and scored 188 & 82 respectively.When Gavaskar scored 188 he was 38 years old and bowlers were Malcolm Marshal, Richard Hadlee,Clive Rice, John Embury. You just following his great inning : Against West Indies in West Indies - 220 , 156 , 102 , 147* Against England in England - 221 , 101 Against Pakistan in Pakistan - 111 , 137 , 127* Against Pakistan in India - 96 Against Australia in Australia - 172 , 166* , 113 , 127 , 118 , 70 Against New Zealand in New Zealand - 116 , 71 Gavaskar was having concentration ability.He never allowed photographers to take his photographs,not interested to see movies and TV,use to sleep early - to keep his eyesight normal and sharp. In those days it was said that if Boycott and Gavaskar open the innning in a match,the opposition will run away, because they will bat for 5 days.One master test batsman which present cricket world has forgotten is Armyman Ken Barrington who scored 6806 runs in 82 test matches with a batting average is 58.67. He was solid batsman and batted long, defensive innings, batting with bulldog determination and awesome concentration. I think you didn't play cricket in cricket ground with red season ball.Your knowledge of cricket is just by watching on TV.

@@drhemantjoshi5585 "red season ball" 🤣

​@@JojpjjpkpjpjpjjpjjjlnohiguvuSee in our time when we use to play cricket matches ,the ball was knownto be :- Leather Ball/Season Ball.The ball was red. No white balls were used.

Absolutely

COOL MAN INZI

Viv is fearless. Sachin T is No. 1 ever!!!

Agreed 👍

Sir Viv Richards is best of all times

This is the reason why our game is the greatest sport on earth. The sportsmanship, the love and respect between fans and players (some) and then we have the bloody managers. Good post.

Good post.

true. more than 20,000 international runs. Inzi was a legend.

He never does bragging.respect

Inzamam could not achieve even 50% of what he was capable of. He was supremely gifted as a batsman.

But even a child can run him out.. 😆😆😆😆

He seemed to have all the time in the world to play his shorts..I don't see Inzi got his due credit

aaj kal ke bats aur 60 meter boundaries. Viv would be the most expensive player in the IPL by far.

Arctic Wanderer bats, fielding restrictions, ground size, sab factors he must have taken into considerations before saying so..and yeah, he would have been the MVP

@@cr9842 Sachin and Kohli are better technically but boy Viv had that flair that nobody has. No helmet, chewing gum, that famous walk to the wicket, alpha male in a true sense.

Arctic Wanderer yup. The famous swag of richards..i have only found 2 people who had that swag..richards and azhar And speaking of technique, i will not go into sachin versus the rest mortals, but viv's strokeplay inspired sachin.. and viv took on genuine all time greats in some of the most bowler friendly pitches and demolished them..that six of the last ball in 1979 final..purely swag I agree with you

And this is why people celebrate the great WI era more than the great aussie era..they were alpha and intimidating without being abusive and cry babies when given back (sarwan-mcgrath, ponting on english subs, sydney 2007-08vs india) WI players were real gentleman and the most chilled out

Life Mastery with The 7 Habits no doubt dr farooq usa

Huh ..really?

Lol🤣🤣🤣🤣,Do u know who was Viv richards

True. Both batting style is similar.

What? Lol! Not even in the league, let alone that tier. Viv 100 tiers above. Best since Don Bradman & best Test batsman of the last 50 years. Best ODI batsman of all time.

Im from India and was very young when I saw Pak vs Nz 1992 .....I missed the part when Inzy started smashing them about like they were jokes....I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the score later. Couldn't understand what could have happened.

Inzamam is right. I am 50. Have watched viv play. He used to play as if he is playing gully cricket . He could see the ball a fraction of a second earlier than normal mortals. His physique..his swagger..his gum chewing style..He was the best!!

RIYAZ Ahmed Correct! At that time cricket was very difficult smaller bats and less willow to hit big shots.Uncovered difficult pitches. Long boundaries and still he was able to play like today’s t20 game and hit sixes

M.Asim Nd RIYAZ Ahmed sir thanks a lot for sharing urs memories nd experiences Nd many congratulations for the RAMZAN,May Allah always blessing over both of you 💚✊️🙏frm Punjabi 🇨🇦

Navpreet Thiara. Thanks a lot 👍 and also best wishes from my side.

Let me tell you about- Sunil Gavaskar - the master

U shouldbe appreciate that he s mentioning viv richards

@@gyanendrarai8812 He did wear a temple guard after getting smacked in the head by Marshall in 1982...enough to sace yourself from getting killed.

@Gyanendra Rai. True. But Gavaskar was not attacking. He used to wear bowlers down through a solid defence. Viv hunted pace bowlers down. Nobody in the history of the sport has done that. Rodney struck viv in the face with a bouncer, got hit for six the ball after and went for something like 50 in 7 overs.....then mercifully picked up an injury

@@juanestadian8471 Well thats a myth Sunil did use to wear protective gears. when he was struck in elbow by Dennis Lillee infact he was one of the first man to wear a arm guard while batting...,,,Temple guard is protective enough secure considering helmet were nowhere developed as of today.... Roadney was also hailed as most exciting raw quick on the scene at the time...,,Took 6 fifers within a year and Viv was playing that summer with a severe back problem that prevented him from touring Nz too in March 1980.. Anyway its only after 1983 when Viv suffered from tyrigium and his eye faded away plus going down from his one down spot which is well known that Viv was a nervous batter in middle order.
