Viv Richards - averaged only 52 in wins - only 12 tons - all whilst having the best bowling attack ever. Pretty impressive matchwinner.

Wasn’t even the most matchwinning batsman on his own team.

In wins with both batsmen

Viv 3750 @ 50.67 11 tons vs Greenidge 4631 @ 55.79 14 tons
Viv 2627 @ 54.72 7 tons vs Lloyd 2792 @ 60.69 8 tons
Viv 1902 @ 48.76 6 tons vs Richardson 2453 @ 54.51 9 tons

Boy i was so wrong

 

[govinda indian fan]

Root averages 65 in wins, nice.

Great

 

[govinda indian fan]

That is not even the stupidest thing you've ever said.

Then who is greatest match winner according to you and also what is stupidest thing i ever said can you plz mention

 

[govinda indian fan]

HELL NAH!!!!

the question wasn't so much whether he batted better than McSweeney or not, it's if he scored those runs as fast as him

The fact is konstas has some role in. Australian victory's in Melbourne and sydney

Like..... Who in their right mind ever denied that!!??? That wasn't the question here. Subz said Konstas' that innings changed the course of the series (or some ****), to which I objected. It was a good innings, but neither series changing nor it broke down Bumrah.

Yeah, Crawley will break down Bumrah up top

 

[govinda indian fan]

Lol he will be bowled in first over

 

[Johan]

Crawley earlier last year made 407 runs in India and was dismissed by Bumrah only once, so probably not.

[Kirkut]

Yeah I don't went to get bogged down by the debate on the innings impact. The point is Konstas approach did affected the innings momentum and messed with the main bowlers approach. Viv was like that X 100.

You won't get that with an accumulator.

Again no. Dear god, the myth of Viv Richards has certainly been blown out of proportion. This is now bordering Mohammed Zahid bowling at 170 kph theory.

Damn not even one outside of India for Kohli

I said it was a seminal moment in the series which it felt like at the time as it allowed Australia to gain what seemed a distinct advantage.

Obviously not literal, exaggeration for comparing him to Konstas. Sheesh.

 

[sayon basak]

Damn not even one outside of India for Kohli

This should be his next target.

 

[Kirkut]

Obviously not literal, exaggeration for comparing him to Konstas. Sheesh.

No. The exaggeration here is about a presumption that Viv operated in one gear only. He was aggressive against pace but it was controlled aggression with textbook shots without being reckless.

 

[OverratedSanity]

This should be his next target.

Agree, he can get that India average below 50 in a few years to complete the full set.

 

[subshakerz]

No. The exaggeration here is about a presumption that Viv operated in one gear only. He was aggressive against pace but it was controlled aggression with textbook shots without being reckless.

Of course I don't disagree with that. He wasnt Sehwag.

This is my problem with Kohli now. Outside SA and home, not really dominant anywhere.
