Sir Vivian Richards has done enough for cricket ,cricket fans and for Antigua by born and raised and becoming Legend of Antigua ,West Indies also in the world. We love and honour Mrs. Grathel for giving such a brilliant ,legend to this world .God love all of them and Antigua Paradise island. They all have worked hard in their time with out much facilities they have just worked hard in all situations and with dicipline but now people every where want everything all best facilities ,material ,money but do not want to put their effort and also these days too much with politics in this world everywhere.
We all love Vivian Richards and still watch his old games how he hit sixers and boundaries wow. God bless him amd his family and you all West Indies legends.

while listening to observer yesterday i herd the panel debating viv's statement and they were saying things that's completely contrary to the actual definition of the story until a caller clarifies the statement and we learn,t that it was the governing body who actually decided to enter politics into such a universal moment,one individual on the panel had a different view and was utterly consumed by the monster.''quote ...it's time to examine the horns and seperate the sheep from the goat.

People make their contribution in different ways.
Any young cricketer who reads Viv's story or is inspired by what he did and how he did it may very well learn a great deal from him.
I think it is unfair some of the demands we make on some people.
The fact that he, like Andy Roberts, were in the trenches fighting the wars and putting Antigua's name out there in a good light is enough for me.
It is up to the people who run cricket in this country to do meaningful things to develop the sport.
Give a soldier a chance to rest from the war, he has more than done enough.

all I want to tell you antigua,s cricket is that you young cricketers need 1/4 of the fire in the belly that viv had for cricket and help yourselves. people who knew viv growing up will tell you he had a cricket bat attached to his hand all the time and worked at the game with anyone he could get to play with him. passion for the game would serve you well. all these guys were largely self taught. what he did and contributed to the nation is so huge. this sounds like sour grapes to me from someone with an axe to grind

For years i,ve been following the game of cricket, i,ve seen Sir Viv contribution to the game at a personal level,but for i,ve always wonder and yet to understand his contribution to the development of the game in Antigua.Most of us under the age of 45 years old have nevr seen hinm play a local game in anu,nor heard of him having any coaching clinic, i was 9 yrs old when on a saturday morning i use to go recreation ground to a clinic held by Andy Roberts ,i ve seen Richie played and rub shoulders with the local guys and helped develop the game and personal skills the Benjamin boys made their contribution to the development of the game ,my question is what has Sir Viv done , the closest i,ve seen Viv among local cricketers,is back in the 90s whe we were putting a team together to go malaysia,and i think he managed the team, it is in my view ,for all the support he has gotten from the antiguan people he could have done more to develop the game of cricket here.
