U19 12th Man
Nope that kind of single minded dedication to whatever he was doing at the time made him the genius that he was.Always been my primary criteria for deification TBH.
It certainly does seem that he divided opinion as a person, though there are plenty who speak of him with warm regard and affection to counter those critical of him. He was the kind of man, from what I can gather, who by his nature wasn’t one to leave people sitting on the fence. And nor did that bother him in the slightest.
I wonder how people will talk of Ricky after he is gone? Or will they talk about him at all?
I think he's shaping up as the next Greg Chappell.. all the results in the world but none of the respect..
