Srikannth tried?? lol his sr was in the 60's and opening the innings i might add. Massive myth that bloke. Kalu and Jaysuria never really got going till the 1996 WC, yeah there were people here and there hat had a dash but none consistently so anything in the mid 70s up till then was outstanding. Viv was on a totally different level. But keep dribbling more shit i notice you didn't even touch my comment about Greenidge and Haynes sr being only in the 60's but were considered great ODI players of their time especially Haynes. Most of the shit you post belongs in here.

"It edits every post [no need for a plural here because you have used the word 'every'] it makes as well.[full stop goes here] Lol."

I accept that the "it" was an attempt to dehumanize me so I have not correct that for you.

You should try editing your posts in future.

Viv played the game the way its played now, then.

His record lets all the former players know that they played it wrong.

No, more than that - his average was 47 and SR 90 - scarcely believeable even today - wickets weren't as flat then, and bats not as big - he hit the ball as hard as I have ever seen (the likes of Guptill, Anderson, Cairns, and apparently M Marsh do too, but Cairns aside with quite different bats)

It's flat out scary to consider what Viv might do if he was playing ODI cricket now

Oh the mid 90s? Jayasuriya and Kalu changed everything?

Try 1992 WC Greatbatch...

And M Waugh opening 91/92- 93. And Tendulkar before 95.

Anwar 1990.

And Viv vefore that.

Srikkanth tried in the 80s. Cairns batted 3 occaisonally in the 80s.

Shall I keep going?

Now mid 90 onwards - mostly Bevans time no?

you will eventually learn, like everyone else here, that worshiping stats will only cause you grief as they are not stats as distinct from raw data which is not properly analysed

and comparing stats from different eras is just ridiculous

other scary thing is considering the decks were not as flat, Viv never ever wore a helmet. This is despite their introduction in the 70s, and by the 80s everyone was wearing one

Said it made him uncomfortable wearing one and he could concentrate a lot better without one.

Was going to add Andre Russell and Chris Gayle to that list - Gayle's a good comparison - Richards similar I guess, but right handed and much much much better - hitting the ball equally hard with a toothpick on decks doing more with minimal protection...

Agreed, as i said earlier he's easily the best ODI player of all time let alone batsman. When you throw in his off spin and fielding which was as good as anyone in any position.
