cause my viv richards t-shirt never came...
i want to love cricket. i really do. but the foreigners don't want an american to get into the cricket. i order a viv richards t-shirt and it never comes. i buy e.a. cricket 2005 on ebay for 20 something pounds and it won't work on andre's american console. f 'em all. i love the cricket even more cause. here's some info on sir viv richards, one of the greatest batsmen of all-time:
The Antiguan lit up two decades of Test cricket in the 1970s and '80s with a series of dazzling innings, marked by rare panache, power and grace.
Richards was a player brimming with charisma, who enlivened matches simply by his presence, which always carried a promise that something special could happen at any moment.
Such was his confidence, he rejected the helmet in favour of the cap - a sign of his superiority whatever pace of delivery he was facing.
As a captain, he was a shining example who always led from the front - he is still the only West Indies captain never to have lost a Test series.
Sir Isaac Vivian Alexander Richards was also a brilliant county player. He made his debut for Somerset in 1974, and made 191 first-class appearances in a 13-year career.
With fellow West Indian Joel Garner and England all-rounder Ian Botham, one of his closest friends, he was part of the Somerset side which was one of the most thrilling to watch in the late 1970s and early '80s.
It is little wonder then, that the bible of cricket, Wisden, named him one of the five greatest cricketers of the century.
