Great joy to see Sir Vivian Richards bat a once in a generation player

Mr. Balaji, i had the privilege of hearing the running ball by ball commentary in my transistor Radio 31 meters & 19 meters frequency of this great prudential cup final. Viv Richards & collis king enthralled me and i was expecting century from Viv and he obliged it with unbeaten one. Memorable finals nostalgic running commentary by very high standard by legends John Arlott, Trevor Bailey, Braint Johnson, Christopher Martin jenkins. The way they narrated the match proceedings as though we are watching real finals Live . Watched Bangalore ksca debut test match in 1974 india vs wi. Paid just rs. 25 /- for five days test match season ticket for gallery stand. Thats how we became huge fan of wi and cricketrs like Viv Richards, Andy Roberts, Clive Lloyd, alvin KALLICHARAN, Gordon Greenidge. The very best of my vintage orginal cricket era . From Seventhwest Blore. ✌

Was a great match. Richards & Clive Lloyd led the batting revival. Those were the days when the West Indies had without doubt the most effective speed bowling attack. Holding was such an athletic, rhythmic, fast bowler, Andy Roberts more precise & fast, Joel Garner quick with unusual action able to deceive the batsman in anticipating the delivery type because of his height. Formidable fast bowlers. Dominated both Test matches & one- day matches during that epoch.

What made this a classic, apart from the atmosphere, was the characters throughout both teams. Derek Randall played like one of us, as did Botham. Gower, Gooch, Brearley and Boycott. I loved Alvin Kalicharran, but the others were sheer quality too. Those were the days! I was 14.

Back then the West Indies senior players in their final years had virtually appointed themselves as unofficial selectors. They got to decide which matches and which tours they wanted to play and the selectors just sat back and said yes sir, very good sir, anything was ok as long as they were winning, by the 90s the cricket board had cracked down on players taking holidays whenever they wanted.

In hindsight England should probably have had David Bairstow playing as wicketkeeper and brought in somebody like John Lever to replace the injured Bob Willis. Selection was almost certainly based on the West Indies bowling threat. 7 front line batsmen (including Ian Botham), a wicketkeeper and 3 bowlers was very 'lopsided'.

I totally agree with you, the selection of the England team was really appalling, but then again what can you expect with people like Alec Bedser picking the team. Also Hendrick's lbw appeal against Richards being rejected had a major affect on the result.

They were so far behind the run rate after Boycott and Brearley's slow start that the remaining batsmen had to try and hit everything and take outrageous chances. Would you have preferred them to have batted defensively and ended up with a score of 220 for 3 off 60 overs???

West Indies 4/125 from 34 overs, you gotta like the odds of England winning from there, what could possibly go wrong? Oh yeah, Viv Richards and Collis King. This was literally Collis Kings only big performance of his career, other than this one innings his career was mundane and forgettable. England lost this match in 2 ways - their 5th bowler shared between Boycott, Gooch and Larkins went for 86 wicketless runs, then all West Indies ever needed to do was keep Boycott and Brearley batting, they used up so many overs that England had lost the match before the 1st wicket even fell.

@AlunThomas-mp5qo 2 ай бұрын

They lost the match in three ways, a plumb lbw decision against Richards early in his innings being turned down, it would have been 125 for 5, and King would not have had Richards to advise him thru the early part of his innings.

I must see if he has a biography. I've followed cricket from afar for years sometimes more interested than others but became more interested in about 2016 and now I'm an almost obsessive fan. I've heard Mike Brierley was one if the best examples of a captain and man manager in almost any sport not just cricket despite not being the best player himself. I've thought that in recent years the England football team have been silly in always giving them arm band to the "best" player as opposed to the best leader.

That just wasnt done back then, England were still very much rooted in the tried and tested tactics of 50 years earlier. Opening batsman was usually a career position from start to end, Gooch had started his career batting at 6, a promotion to opener would have been almost unheard of back then.
