That is epic.

Richards has the best Test average of any batsman other than Sir Donald. In 44 Tests since 1974, he has gathered 3060 runs at 62.01, with 13 hundreds and a highest score of 291.

That reads so good. Wish it stayed like that.

Ok this article is disappointingly short. I wanted to spend an hour on it.

Calling him the most accomplished at that point is amusing.

Interesting that Viv read little besides boxing magazines. Probably would hate this forum tbh

Re Viv, I once remember hearing about Kallicharran having an account here.

“What are they like to wear, Vivian?” said Sir Donald.

“I’ve never worn one sir,” said Richards.

One sensed that Sir Donald approved of that.

Kind of cool, because of Bradman.

Martin Crowe once did.

The article is behind a paywall so I've not read it, but that looks like a typo in the copy. Viv hadn't scored 3,060 runs at that point - he'd scored 3,969.
