Imagine if he had a modern bat in his hand, what carnage.

Superb compilation. He hit with good power and bat speed and had a great eye, with a modern bat he's be sending the ball out the park. :D

Amazing stuff. Not that it matters but just curious to know what was the weight of bat used by Sir Viv Richards ?

The confidence with which he played fast bowlers without a helmet on, simply superb.

Pretty amazing that his hooks and pulls seem so flat as if he hit them along the ground and then the umpire signals it for a six. It amazes me how he managed to hit them so flat on a ground which is 80 - 90 meters.

Also love the way how he times his front foot with the pitch of the ball for his straight shots.
