My (vivid!) memories of Viv are of him stepping across to his off stump and just nonchalently flicking a rapid delivery over square leg time and again for six, still chewing his gum and swaggering down the pitch to eye the bowler's reaction.boltonbonce wrote:What a player. Never seen a cricketer play the ball so late. He had eyes like a hawk.
Used to love his entrance too. A long pause before he eventually emerged from the dressing room, then a languid swagger to the wicket. No helmet of course.
Intimidation on legs.

'Which one is Clive Lloyd'? asked the girl.
The one in the glasses', came the reply.
The greatest wicket taking delivery by a blonde haired leggy at @EmiratesOT?

Very tense. Catch the end here. (I wouldn't bother with the whole 7 hours).Sluffy wrote:Amazing win for Lancs just now!!!
I've been listening to the commentary all afternoon and it's been utterly nail-biting stuff!!!
We need two, they needed one wicket!
We now head the County Championship in the last round of games and only Warwickshire can now beat us - if the win on the last day tomorrow against Summerset - and by just half a point!
Wonderful stuff and fingers crossed!
