Dude! I saw his 291 against England at The Oval, 1976, best innings I ever saw. Standing at the bus stop after the game, queue a mile long, I happened to look at a car stuck in the traffic right by me...and there was Viv Richards in the passenger seat, cool as you like, chewing a stick of gum, giving me a wry smile as I clocked him. He'd been batting all day, only been off the pitch 20 minutes, you'd never have guessed if you didn't know...
CRICKET???
