viv was outstanding. if he was around in this era with mediocre bowling attacks and short boundaries and flat wickets his average would be substantially higher than sachins

@whouster on his day or not on his day i would give anything to watch this guy swagger over to the pitch with total disregard for the situation of the match and play his game. I feel bad that i missed this great batsman playing or rather toying with the bowlers. Great respect.

@sportingchallenge If they let him edit the Bible (not Wisden, the other one) I'd take up religion.

Bloody hell Lenny, what are you doing? And that umpire was so quick on the calls I'm surprised Viv didn't stepladder a few of those, but why bother reaching when you've got the talent to swivel and hook them off the badge of that cap like he used to. Slips cordon are starving, get on with it Lenny. Who was the poor bugger who had to bowl the over after Lenny tried "Mental disintegration" on I.V.A Richards?

@sportingchallenge Dude......Boon anyday man, ANY DAY. The guy was a legend, look at his record man, shits all over Marsh. The mighty WI had deep respect for Boon. Also, go watch all his tons on my channel.
Sure, there are batsmen who have more runs, more centuries, and higher averages, but what the stats don't tell you is the way he utterly murdered attacks with sheer grace and power. Many great batsmen have played the game, and a few will be remembered by the stats as being greater than Viv, and that's fair enough. All I'm saying is that no other batsman had such an array of shots, orthodox and unorthodox, and on his day, he was the greatest.

@whouster For sure. I'd rather watch a Viv 60 than a Sachin 100. The problem is 99% of Sachin fans weren't even alive during Viv's career so they are uneducated!
