Today's generation won't understand the greatness of this man. He was leagues ahead of other players. When the others averaged 35, he averaged 47. When others had a SR of 72-73, he had of 90 plus. He also played on much more responsive pitches than today.
At his peak, Viv averaged 50 in ODI. 54 against Australia, India & NZ, who were very good sides in that era. 67 against England, 60 against Sri Lanka. Greatest ever.
The issue is fielding those days was just ridiculous and that's a huge plus for the batsman! Many of these boundaries would have been stopped easily nowadays.
Really, never warring a helmets that to in times of bowlers with equal greatness as Micheal Holding, garner, etc; is just unbelievable. Same was sunil gavaskar. No measure for the greatness of these two players.
Manish Pandey is a better batsmen than Viv Richards because Manish Pandey scored a 74 on his ODI debut and then scored an unbeaten century against Australia in Australia in Sydney SCG while chasing the target 330 on his fourth ODI of his career.

Thank God for that. T20 is such a terrible form of cricket. It is not about class, it is nothing other than glorified continuous cricket from high school PE lessons.
@@Bernie8330 well not really. I think you're being too harsh. I was born in Italy so I've always been passionate about football. I started to watch cricket thanks to IPL. The short format (only 3 hours) makes it easy to watch it. Then I started to watch ODIs. I still dont like Test cricket (but I'm trying to watch it). The thing is: t20 was needed to increase the popularity of cricket outside the older generation or die hard fans. How can you convince me to watch a 5-day long match when most probably the result is going to be a draw??
@@Harjitsingh-iw8cn Back when I started watching cricket in the 1980s, a draw was a 50% possibility from the start of most test matches, but that is much lower now. In England, it is usually incessant rain that causes draws in tests rather than boring play. But yeah, I prolly shouldn't be so harsh on T20, there are advantages to it. As to how to get you really interested in test cricket, I think your best bet there is to study the history of test cricket from 1877. Do you like history in general?
What a fearless man.. what a charisma.. No batsman in the world is and will be as majestic as Viv Richards. He equally thrashed all leading bowlers of his time..!!
What a class act this man is... Scores a wonderful hard hitting hundered and just raises his bat casually to acknowledge the crowd cheer. Great player for ever!

@Darren Gouch Being an Indian I agree with you. Kohli is great but he has faced weaker bowlers, batted on flatter wickets, in smaller grounds with helmet and with rules and regulations favouring batsmen more than bowlers. So ya, he is no match for all time greats like Sir Viv. This guy made brutal hitting look elegant. Modern batsmen cannot play a forward defence against a spinner without their heads falling over and lunging on to the ball.
@@cn21gaming57 what are you talking, kohli had made centuries against very powerful bowling attacks and unfavourable conditions. He is a very tough and promising cricketer.
It's not proper to compare batsmen like that. It's not Kohli's fault either than cricket has changed now. Continuing this debate will ignite hatred towards players unnecessarily, I suggest everyone refrain from doing such comments hereafter.
@@akshaybhalerao9379 I never said anything about Kohli. In fact I said that he is great. It is us, the viewers, the followers who always turn blind towards the practical aspects. I am sure, even Kohli himself is aware of his achievements and under what circumstances he had them. The problem is us, we always put our players on extreme pedestals. We always go overboard. King Kohli, God Sachin, etc. It just goes on. We use our sentiments way more than our knowledge of the sport to describe our favourite players. That's all I am saying. I mean, in the end, who am I to question Kohli? I will never achieve even 1/4 of what he has achieved. My point is directed towards the fans, not the players.
My favourite aspect of Sir Viv's batting is that he attacked all types of deliveries and aimed to score 4s / 6s off all of them. Defence / leaving and taking risky singles to rotate the strike were never part of his game and he never hesitated while playing his shots. Though he played his shots late after allowing the ball to fully come onto him - he was so confident and self-assured while smashing the opposition's bowling to all parts of the ground. Sir Viv was 'once-in-a-lifetime' batsman and the period that he played cricket in can well be called 'The Vivian Richards Era'.
I never wore a helmet, retired early this year aged 57. Only got hit once off a quickies short ball under the chin. I stepped back on my stumps so a double blow. We were taught how to play and evade fast bowling and that's a skill that seems to be lost now.
This was in 84 If only CA can upload his 150 against Australia at MCG in 79 tour that will be great to relive again against full strength aussie attack of Lillee,Thomson,Hogg and Geoff Dimmick and Viv hit boundries after boundry even with 9 fielder on boundry rope. The Greatest batsman thats ever lived, Godfather of One day cricket Easily the Greatest one day cricketer ever. Period !!!
@@rangasai7459 I think Channel 9 lost that video most probably it is nowhere even Rob Moody can never fetch it.. During that summer Viv was just a maschine he smashed around 1000 runs in Australia that summer at avg close to 100 against Lillee, Thomson, Pascoe & Hogg..On top he was playing with severe back pain and injured leg.
Manish Pandey is a better batsmen than Viv Richards because Manish Pandey scored a 74 on his ODI debut and then scored an unbeaten century against Australia in Australia in Sydney SCG while chasing the target 330 on his fourth ODI of his career.
I was there that day, my parents finally trusted 15 year old me to go to the cricket with a few mates. Didn't end well as we got in a scuffle with other kids and got kicked out about 7.00pm. Disappointing day all around other than Viv's 150.
Think about this Viv was so good that 80000 at the mcg are cheering for the opposition that's the impact he made everyone loved him. Dennis Lillee got him out at the MCG on Boxing Day 3 years earlier and the cheer when he got him was huge but then Viv did this and gets a standing ovation. If you get Viv out for anything below 20 you loved it. But once he got in the 20's and he was settled you'd want to make 100. Once upon a time Viv was the coolest bloke on the planet
whenever I watch the videos of old legends I cry. That was the golden era of cricket. Today's game is much more batsman friendly. nothing to the bowlers. I want this era to repeat so that I can watch these GOAT's like Sir Viv, Border, Imran, Kapil, Sunil G, Sobers, lille, jeff, holding and many many many many more
@Mr Suhaib "never got hit?" Have you watched any cricket at all or heard of Wikipedia? There is comprehensive article called "fatalities in international cricket" which clearly states cricketers have died after getting hit on cricket ball from 18th century. I am not wasting anymore time educating such emotional and insecure idiots, who haven't learnt Google and Wikipedia yet, from now. Bye sir
Manish Pandey is a better batsmen than Viv Richards because Manish Pandey scored a 74 on his ODI debut and then scored an unbeaten century against Australia in Australia in Sydney SCG while chasing the target 330 on his fourth ODI of his career.
I remember watching the ‘Master Blaster’ every second summer in Australia. He was a force of nature. One thing that isn’t apparent about Viv on these highlights videos, because he’s thrashing the ball everywhere and it’s a ODI, is that I recall him never blocking - not even in test matches and not even against spin. It was always a push. Obviously he didn’t score off every ball but he always looked to score and no bowler could stop him - not even Lillee. If Viv cared about averages and didn’t get bored after securing a sizeable lead for his team, his test average would be the second highest ever. Only Sachin in my lifetime has had the same presence when he walked out to bat as Viv but Viv is my number 4 in an all time batting line up edging out the little master.
Manish pandey is a better batsman than Viv Richards. Manish Pandey scored an unbeaten century against Australia in Australia in Sydney in SCG while chasing the target of 330 and won the match. Manish Pandey is better than Viv Richards.
If he was playing today the entry to the field would have been a great sight to see,extraordinary then ahead would have been more extraordinary today if every factors is taken in to consideration, example the quality of bat, of small boundaries, batsman favouring pitches, restrictions on bouncer and so on, think about it what viv would have been, Superman batsman.
I was at this game as a 16 year old kid. My first ODI and I was a WI fan. Viv certainly did not disappoint. I still get that buzz seeing this all these years later.
With today grounds,bats,boundary size and powerplay rules he would have murdered bowling attacks And his biggest characteristic is he takes on the best bowlers of opponents ❤❤ He is my father's favorite player
if we keep the same ground size and remove the powerplay rule in today's time... 70% batsmen will change the profession and 90% all rounders will become only bowlers 😂😂😂
LOL...really?...Well Strike rotating was much much easier those days with such bigger boundaries... Even if there was no powerplay still many times in the starting 10 overs the bowling team used to keep only two fielders as derived from test cricket... We've saw Sachin batting is almost Richards era...and in 2012 when he scored his 100th 100...it took him 140 balls to get it even against a team like Bangladesh..
I grew up watching him in the 1980s.The greatest batsman I've seen! In fact, the Windies team between 1975-1985 might well have been the greatest team ever, and in that team full of superstars, Viv was the megastar. When he came out to bat, you could feel the change in attitude in the other team. It was as if a herd of deer who were peacefully grazing, see a lion - suddenly they stop grazing and each one is intently looking at the lion, wondering what's he gonna do next.
What a brutal hitting. He send the aussie pscers packing Playing these bowlers without a helmet, really great. A real iconic cricketer Saluting the greatness of this guy.
am just 17 years old ,but still i admire this guy a lot and i feel that he wud smash any bowler in modern t20 games,and probably the greatest odi batsman if he had played more in white ball than the red ball.(obviously white ball is easier to play as a batsman and it is much more lighter and easy to hit sixes)
Sir Viv you are master of the game and we adore you as a gem. Today's West Indies cricket is not in good shape. No wonder tomorrow the team will be at the bottom of the table. Time has come Sir for you to revive the game in the interest of West Indies cricket.
This is what technical hitting looks like...I love the fact that tho he smashes the ball, he plays it late- clearly, unlike the thoughtless swinging & hoicking that we witness these days. Agressive & easy on the eye.
He was a king. He played waith uncomparble authority and command . No comparison. Today there are many good players like kohli sachin ponting lara but they are greats of a spesific period. I VA Richard is all time great. Dont involve statastics and figures. You cannot judge him through records. His batting was of such a class that never ever be defined in cricketing termnologies. It can only be appreciated by those who were lucky enough to see him in field.
@@RAGEESports10 kohli is once a king always a king. So he is better than Richards. Bro you can understand it by shot selection. Richards does not have a good shot selection.
Manish pandey is a better batsman than Viv Richards. Manish Pandey scored an unbeaten century against Australia in Australia in Sydney in SCG while chasing the target of 330 and won the match. Manish Pandey is better than Viv Richards.
As a Cricket loving Australian teenager. This West Indian side made me very very depressed. If our Batsmen lived through the Blistering Pace attack, the Batsmen, Greenidge, Haynes, Richards, Lloyd etc, etc. I sit back and watch now and Marvel. Without doubt the Greatest Cricket Team of all time. I had the Great Pleasure of seeing Sir Vivian Richards bat at the MCG, the most amazing and Brutal batting performance I have ever seen, No batting Helmet, didn't need one. Thank you Sir Vivian, Very fond memories of our Game.
Gayle+ Segway+ Gilchrist+ Sachin+ Lara+ Meculam+ Andre Rasal+ Polard+ Kohli+ Bredman+ = One and only greatest bastman of all time sir Viv Imagine if he IPL T20 cricket player 2021
Viv was the best. I noticed without surprise that the huge Aussie crowd, who did NOT come out to see Australia lose, nonetheless enthusiastically applauded his shots. Cricket crowds are the best too.

He was a king. He played waith uncomparble authority and command . No comparison. Today there are many good players like kohli sachin ponting lara but they are greats of a spesific period. I VA Richard is all time great. Dont involve statastics and figures. You cannot judge him through records. His batting was of such a class that never ever be defined in cricketing termnologies. It can only be appreciated by those who were lucky enough to see him in field.
His shots are powerful as his commentry!
The legend cricketer
Facing fast bowlers without the helmet was really insane & he took them head on.
0:35 , 1:24 adaptability for delivery is tremendous 😊😊😊😊
No Helmet, Big Ground, old Bat
Viv to today's batsmen - Ye karke dikhao ji !
@Darren Gouch stop spamming Australia 💩💩🇦🇺
@@RAGEESports10 kohli is once a king always a king. So he is better than Richards. Bro you can understand it by shot selection. Richards does not have a good shot selection.
So we have a bad habit of always over rating older generation . Hypocrisy at the next level👏👏
Manish pandey is a better batsman than Viv Richards. Manish Pandey scored an unbeaten century against Australia in Australia in Sydney in SCG while chasing the target of 330 and won the match. Manish Pandey is better than Viv Richards.

Greatest batsman off his era
Crowd looks amazing
I think Viv would have thrived playing T20. I enjoyed watching him play when I was a young player.
As a Cricket loving Australian teenager. This West Indian side made me very very depressed. If our Batsmen lived through the Blistering Pace attack, the Batsmen, Greenidge, Haynes, Richards, Lloyd etc, etc. I sit back and watch now and Marvel. Without doubt the Greatest Cricket Team of all time. I had the Great Pleasure of seeing Sir Vivian Richards bat at the MCG, the most amazing and Brutal batting performance I have ever seen, No batting Helmet, didn't need one. Thank you Sir Vivian, Very fond memories of our Game.

Viv was the best. I noticed without surprise that the huge Aussie crowd, who did NOT come out to see Australia lose, nonetheless enthusiastically applauded his shots. Cricket crowds are the best too.
A big fan of this man
4:28 the gasp from the crowd
Viv Richards is A Real King of Cricket.
One of the bestest batsman of this game .
Thanks
