He might lose out overall but Viv in 80s Pakistan on landmines was bonkers.

80s Windies in Pakistan wickets: 18.84
Recent India in South Africa wickets: 21.09

the South Africa stuff is for reference.

in the two 80s Pakistan tours, notable Batsmen averaged...

IVA Richards: 53.90
MJ Miandad:
31.23
CH Lloyd: 21.20
CG Greenidge: 26.40
DL Haynes: 25.30
HA Gomes:
29.73
RB Richardson: 29.60
AL Kalicharan: 16.00

only other batsman with a 35+ average is Wasim Raja with three not outs, Viv's RPI is 49, second best is Ramiz at 35, followed by Javed at 31.

Viv's record against Pakistan of the 80s (the one everyone rates) is absolutely bonkers in context.

I think the 70s tour really holds him back to win here.

Yeah Viv's first series was a shocker but that 1980 tour was genuinely great where he was leagues ahead of everyone else, and even averaging 35 on the 1986 tour was bloody good under the circumstances considering no-one made any runs in that series.
