You know, I never got the chance to see the great man bat in his pomp.  I did see him in an exhibition game a year after he retired.  But this YouTube clip really brought home for me how powerful and awesome Viv Richard's strokeplay was.  Just listen to the sound of that ball off his bat.  Brilliant. 8)

One would not normally say Vivian had finesse but I think he was a combination of force but exceptional timing.

The hardest hitter of a cricket ball I have seen is Collis King.

Mail, did you witness King's 86 from 66 balls against England in the 1979 World Cup final?

Take solace, at least you have two World Cup wins under your belt. England are still waiting for their first, despite three trips to the finals. Thinking about the '79 World Cup brings back painful memories of Boycott taking 17 overs to reach double figures  :o

We were on the wrong end of the stick that day and yes I was there.

That partnership King had with Vivian turned it.

Collis King was on fire and that sort of strike rate was not heard of in those days and imperious even by todays standards.

Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.
