Vivians Richard

Sir Isaac Vivian Alexander Richards, is a former West Indian cricketer. Popularly known as Viv (or King Viv), he is regarded as one of the greatest batsmen of all time and as one of the very finest players in the history of the sport. Richards was voted one of the five Cricketers of the Century in 2000, by a 100-member panel of experts, along with Sir Donald Bradman, Sir Garfield Sobers, Sir Jack Hobbs and Shane Warne.

In February 2002, Richards was judged by Wisden Cricketers' Almanack to have played the best ODI innings of all time.
