He's really not, when you compare him to other contenders up there i.e Sobers, Hobbs, Tendulkar he falls short. I'm sorry but you don't play that mediocre for that length of time and amount of tests and get a free pass because of what else you did in your career.
Those in south Africa pretty much offered him a blank check to play there, but he refused. Pretty much says all you need to know if the man. He was an arrogant sob and rubbed some the wrong way but at least he had pride and generally knew right from wrong.
FFS. Yes, he is.
Doubt it. He was that passionate about representing the WIs.
True and I'd like to believe that myself, but he would have been born into a completely different age where cricketers, especially West Indian cricketers, put money before patriotism.
Well you've convinced me.
You convince me why he isn't.
I did and I can't.
If you choose to ignore what I've posted and just say you're wrong, I guess thats your perogative.
Summarise it
the last 7 years of Viv's career were at an average of 43
