Viv Richards vs Steve Waugh TAKE THAT VIV! 1988 1st test Gabba

[Quarker99]

Viv Richards, as calm as anything. At first I thought Waugh's delivery hit him on the head!

Also, classic commentary LMFAO! "Upset the timber"

[dabidoo]

@Quarker99 Ahahaha same here. It made Sir VIv's response or lack thereof all the more awesome

[1975siralex]

I think most of the bowlers would have appologized after that delivery but not Steve Waugh....

[bavarebava]

typical aussies.....gives viv a beamer and still appeals instead of going down the wicket and apologizing.

[Pigroota]

@bavarebava Are you saying that wasn't a close call? On the replay it looked out. That ball would have easily hit the stumps. I think the umpire didn't give him out because he didn't want to embarrass poor Viv

[irtezaa]

Viv's anticipation and focus was amazing. After being pegged back by the short stuff, Viv was so quick to latch on the full delivery.

Viv Richards-Bap

Steve Waugh-Beta



[kamyueloh]

reckon that was hitting

[DeanWhipper]

I reckon that full toss LBW was out!

[jfjauy123456]

no ball

[imthemess]

0:38 ENOUGH SAID HAHAHAHA

[pinkjammiesss666]

Allan Border caught scratching his balls on camera!

[lazerbud]

what is this from? some kinda documentary/news piece? Would LOVE to see the rest of it!

[robelinda2]

@lazerbud Its from the highlights of the days play off tv.

[MrRonsmagic]

i guess steve shouldve stuck to the shot pitch stuff..the one that was pitched up was dispatched down the ground with minimum of fuss....you gotta love viv though...gets hit on the head and no reaction....or perhaps he hardly felt anythin given steve's "express" pace

[Sobob99]

How is that not a no ball?

[metalandcricket]

would have been just a normal full toss if richards didnt duck. It was the slower ball so it looked higher then it actually ended up

[karthikks82]

First 3 balls it was a bouncer,but look at viv richards face he was smiling as usual.

then he hit 4th ball to boundry.There is no doubt about vivians legecy.

[kmg4]

Steve Waugh was doing just about the most foolish thing a bowler could do in cricket at the time.

[rohitrez]

PATHETIC BEAMER

[rwh105]

Shoulder before wicket? Why is that sod appealing?

[negooog]

@rwh105 he's appealing for lbw. Viv was lucky not to be given too

[hirdy6]

@rwh105 Get a rule book, doesn't matter if it's your shoulder, head or even your dick, if it's in line and you don't play a shot it is out. Who' s sod now?

[WorldSacred]

These days, that would have been called a no-ball. At normal stance, the ball hit the batsman above waist-height.

[Lefferable]

hahaha you gotta love Viv's smile. It's like "you fuck with me, i fuck with you" legend! Probably one of the few batsmen who backs it up!

[JPKDennison]

Typical Australians. Appealing rather than apologising.

[wisden550]

Haha, reminds my of Sachin being out LBW against McGrath ducking a bouncer... But this one was probably hitting the wickets too, from the looks of it...

[adi87tya]

Viv was probably humoring Steve Waugh. He was like that sometimes. If he really wanted to, he would probably have hit Waugh's dobbly short medium pacers 10 rows back.

[ishtamulladhu]

Look at Viv, He wouldn't care a s... & goes on with his game, chewing gum.

[smalishah84]

haha.....awesome. stuff.....compelling viewing

[ihinarap]

0:37 Haha Itchy Much????

[Mladenovski28]

Steve Waugh hit Richards between the eyes with a bumper in a Lancashire League game.

There is an incident when Rodney Hogg hit Viv on the head with a bumper. The next ball Hogg digs in it again and Viv smashes it for six. This would be a good upload. I think it happened at the MCG test 1979/80.

[robelinda2]

@Mladenovski28 You wouldnt believe it, I DONT HAVE THAT DAYS PLAY!!!!!!!! Trust me, it shits me almost every day!!! I would LOVE to see it.

[Mladenovski28]

@robelinda2 Ohh mate, just as you were getting close to your 1000th video, I've snuck one between you bat and pat and its hit the top of off.

[monash72]

@Mladenovski28 That incident is shown in the movie 'Fire in Babylon'. The man did not even blink and the next one was in the stands.

[border205]

More plumb then the Tendulkar one that McGrath got.

[Crkt4Eva]

0:57 Just about hit Viv outside the line of the stumps, but wouldn't of mattered anyway as it was obviously a beamer making contact above waist height.

[inxia38]

@Crkt4Eva Actually, the law about calling balls above waist height as no-balls didn't come in for another 12 years. Having said that, I still think Waugh was churlish to appeal.

[pradeepanisonline]

ok, now I wouldn't laught at Chris Read (Eng) when he ducked to a slower ball from Chris Cairns :-)

[dinoguy22]

@pradeepanisonline what about graham thorpe ducking to courtney walsh

[damo24now]

that's a beamer 0:43

[TomAraya23]

wow great upload dude btw

the fuck is alan border doing at 0.38!!!!!

[damo24now]

@TomAraya23 scratching himself
