- The greatest generation of the west Indian team was coming to an end.
malcolm marshall
Ambrose
Michal Holding
Joel Garner
names that had terrified the world till now
A team that had won 2 world cups,
uncountable matches and made nearly unsurmountable records in it's run.
was coming to an end
and with it, was coming to an end the illustrious career of Vivian Richards.
the year was 1988
and Pakistani team was touring west indies
under the captaincy of Imran khan
armed with 2 new young bowlers Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis
what followed was a test series that has been argued to be the best series ever played
Nail-biting matches
thrilling ending
tempers and tantrums and sledges being thrown around every which way.
and with that
came the final dust up
an epic show down between the west Indian captain and the young Wasim akarm.
which followed a failure in leadership, infact a betrayal from Imran khan.

I lived in Barbados in 1988 and I can tell you we were so scared of losing this match. We all had transistor radios up to our heads with fingers crossed in Bridgetown. It was the stiffest competition any team gave us. To be fair Wasim was right to have a go though. The story is really funny, but Imran was smart to let Wasim sort it out himself. I think Wasim realised that he was so skilful that he let the ball do the sledging. These were the 2 great teams of 80's.
I wish i could see these legends perform live🥲
@@Abdulbari25970 :: i am lucky, I had seen them playing. It had always been like watching thrillers.
@@mukulkarmakarwb153 you are lucky sir . I cant find highlights of those days 🥲
Thank you for being sensible and didn't get trapped in the manipulated narrative of the video. Yes it was imaran'S way of telling wasim to learn to fight his own fights. I have heard this story from Wasim himself and he had nothing but respect and love for Imran
Its a story
One day this cannel will become the best cricket storytelling channel ever!!
one day? You mean it isn't the best currently?
@@ehnoicedayforabriishperson8359 I guess it is.. atleast for me
It is
It still is.
True
Imran Khan didn't betray viv Richards. He taught Akram a lesson that grown men have to face the consequences of their actions.
Imran Khan's protege was Wasim Akram. He did betray Wasim Akram... Atleast according to the narration. Imran was the one who encouraged Wasim to sledge Vivian Richards. He said that he'll be there behind him no matter what happens after sledging. But he did not stand up for his protege when Vivian Richards came up to beat Wasim. That's not cool if you want to lead a team.
@@adinandyala I was not aware that Imran khan encouraged akram to sledge richards. That changes the matter. its especially bad if you take into account that windies are not known to sledge
@@adinandyala Imran was an extra ordinary captain the world cricket has ever seen. If you have to mentor a youngster, groom him this way - the hard way.
@@adinandyala that says lot about IK's character ...lets see now in politics how does this play out
@@vrindabolinjkar3861 he is anything but a clown now .... nobody even the Pakistanis doesn't take him seriously
Its not the story but the narration of the story that hook all of us throughout the video.
Yes narration is extraordinary attention capturing. Many ppl has listened story of that incident by Waseem in his interviews.
I always remember the line he said during the interview with kohli . What people say is my arrogance but they didn't knew it was my confidence
imagine if dhobi sleged him. 😂😂End of dhobhi.

Whenever I read or hear about this legend Viv I just feel sad that my generation never watched that lion hunting in jungle. It looks fairytales, such a charismatic guy, the most feared batsman ever. Would have really loved him getting young coming out with all swagger chewing gum and ruling 22 yards like he did those days. King Viv 🔥
Watch old matches
I remember watching him as a youngster on TV all those years ago, to this day it still sticks in my mind the confidence this man had in himself!!
@@Just__Me__0923 saqlainnizami4191
Not sure that lions are seen very often in the jungle! But I get your point.
I remember as a youngster in England when limited over matches were televised every Sunday, being so excited when the county team Somerset was due to play - that meant IVA Richards, coming in at #3.
I watched in awe as he strode to the crease with that characteristic swagger. Took his guard. Played and missed outside the off stump 2 or 3 times, and was out.
But I felt I had got my 'money's worth' in those 10 or so minutes.
Heroes were bigger in those days.
And Viv Richards was a giant.
Yes yes Rightly said " King viv" I am lucky to have watched the KING VIV bat. Unmatchable and incomparable.
Legends of the Game Viv Richards in Batting and Wasim Akram in bowling ...
This was a brilliant video my friend. Really glad to have found your channel. As a West Indian I really respect and appreciate the way you told this story.
Wasim is the greatest non West Indian fast.bowler ever. I loved that Pakistan team. They were amazing. But that West Indian team is the greatest all time
Hey, whoever you are you really are damn bloody good!
With no real footages you have recreated the moments from the actual story and have showcased what is never easy at all - to bring forth every detail including the thoughts and emotions that went inside their minds!
I am sure the great Wasim and Imran and king Richards themselves will be stupefied by such insight into their own psyche!
Wasim has been telling this story with his characteristic charm and wit for years.
Wasim Akram narrated this story in Comedy Nights with Kapil when he was on the show and he said the exact same thing....
But he didn't name Richards
@@fzeekay he named richards
the story is real as written in the india today article as narrated by Wasim Akram.... The link for this is there in the description.
I was literally in love with Viv. A man full of confidence and omg that swagger. Although, many including myself did not know him personally we felt as if we were personal friends with him. He is one of a kind and there are very few people that are blessed by the almighty with a special gift to bring worldwide joy to every single home in the world. Viv is one such human
lorraine wilson he was ONE OF THE BEST NOT THE player in west indies cricket the three w sir garry sobers viv san't lick sobers boots test ave over 57 runs over 200 test wicket and over 100 catches hit 6 sixes in a county cricket a gentle man he was dont a drug user like viv and bothan playind county cricket in england the queen of england knighted him cricket is a gentle man 's game on and off the field bud from nyc
Well said 🎉
Bullies Cannot be hero's!
@@jeangowcharan7456 I never said he was not one of the best
The person who narrated this video did an excellent job, actually kept my attention throughout the entire thing, no bias, just clear and somewhat accurate depiction of what happened. Well done
Fake story 😂
@@Houseofroyals745 There was nothing fake about Viv Richards or those players, exactly what you saw on the pitch is what you got from those guys, I worked for Joel Garner in Barbados and trust me he was no joke. Don't be of the impression the team you're seeing today create a softness in anyone from the Caribbean, we're not a soft people, run up in our face and it's all over

Being an ardent follower of cricket from 1977 , I've watched so many games and I would shout out from any rooftop that Vivian was the best batsman the world ever had. He didn't have the best techniques like Kallicharan or Gavaskar but then his sheer power, eye sight and attitude, no-one ever had. The bowlers those days were the best cricket ever had. Lille, Jeff Thomson, Pascoe were very fearsome bowlers. Thommo who recorded the fastest ever ball in the history of cricket was also infamous for body line tactics. Vivian faced them all without a head gear in tests, oneday and in county cricket. Something only a super legend can do. Cricket as a sport had it's golden era from 70s to early 2000, people like me no more watch cricket these days as it has become such a boring game with over hyped players and just glitz. Indian cricket was at it's best when Sachin, Sehwag, Ganguly, Dravid et al were around.
Totally agreed! The sport was very authentic and Nature in those days.
Pascal or Pascoe?
@@subramaniamramamoorthy6816 Pasco..my bad
True words, candidly written note, now cricket has become a circus with over hyped players and just glitz. I am 2000 kid but stopped watching cricket.
@@vishalmittal6030 I only find enjoyment in watching the classic players, Anwar, Azharuddin, Kapil, Wasim, Gower etc. Even the uniforms back then were simple and classy unlike today....
What a great story! I was living in England while the Windies were trouncing everyone. But Wasim did the right thing in the end, so did Imran, and so did Viv. Imran didn't betray Wasim, he taught him the valuable lesson of consequences. And not pissing off Viv Richards. TFS 💖🏏
More than consequences he taught him that he would have to fight his own fights himself.
All this is non sense. A legend like Viv Richard will never do such thing.
@@omerfarooq9916 living your life on assumptions?
@@lalit8895 isn't this story an assumption and what's the need of this comment.
@@omerfarooq9916 how is this story an assumption matches were played sledging was done. look up on internet yourself if u don't believe the video.saying a video which took effort to make is feeding false facts and stories just cause person in video happens to be your idol doesn't change anything.
Viv didn't fear bowlers because he had all the nasty ones in his team.
And he would still destroy them in the Caribbean league
He did play domestic cricket in the Caribbean ! a lot of people seem to forget about that
Yep...
@@zabiricon7478 No he did not. They were so nasty.
@jahno7154 he played for leeward Island
Imran Khan is doing the same thing with Pakistanis now

Well how's that ??
@@varadramkrishna6314 kharach
Ironic how a guy who did not stood up for his player stood in election and won. But nothing has changed ,both Wasim and Pakistan (economic turmoil) were left helpless .
Very similar to a guy who did not stood up for his wife and but stood in election and won twice. 😉
If you think that Imran Khan never stood up for his players especially Wasim & Waqar then it ultimately speaks volumes how much cricket you've seen.
You can be such a jerk -- lol can’t believe … I wish you should have seen some cricket
Correct your grammar first my guy, it's not "did not stood up," it's did not stand up. And on the other hand he taught Wasim that one needs to fight his own fights. Moreover, he was an experienced sportsman and he knew that Viv Richards couldn't beat Wasim up as it would result in Viv getting removed from the West Indian team for violating some sort of a violence rule.
@@eclipsetech8336 The fact is Imran said, "It's your fight".
But the narrator turned into something else. And the irony is Wasim, Waqar, Inzamam credits huge portion of their success to Imran.
Still, these guys will judge his cricket leadership on the basis of his political leadership.
A good story teller. A very good STORYTELLER, and he’s entitled to his tale.
Both videos in 2 different languages have bit of additional knowledge in both videos oh man you had my heart ❤️🖤 🔥
Akram was the first victim of “aapne gabrana nahi hai" 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
underrated this should be pinned
😂😂😂
Lol yeah
Hahaha winning comment
Never disrespect the old Goat Viv ..
🇵🇰❤️🇬🇧❤️🇮🇳
Wasim excellent bowler..
Legendary legends
P.s Wasim was Aged 18 or 19
What a story …but yet the young wasim got the world best batsman out what a victory…well done the king of swing showed the character to send to the dressing room in a real battle field.
Age gets better of everyone.. Even wasim was a shadow of his best during his latter part of his career.
Another awesome video. I had read about this incident before, but your narration took the experience to a whole new level. Thank you for the great video brother!
I swear I have not heard anyone narrating a story better that you🥂.
Top class💯.
Sledging is the worst thing to do which the mighty West Indians hardly did.
Sledging is the worst thing to do.
i wish the Australians would understand this
@@pelhampelham3418 Nah its the best thing.. Smart people do it... just dont totally disrespect the opponent, but make him question his own ability.. the more he thinks, the better... Because at one point he will give in to pressure, and make mistakes..
@@monsieurandiant should be ready to receive it back. Mcgrath learnt from sarwan.
@@rajanireddy5271 yeah.. ig we r on the same page..
Super Cricket story i think about the heart and pride of an aging lion
.....i think he cried at the end because Wasim made him realize that he was no longer the " man" he was and though he was still good the end was drawing near.....this was year 14 of a 17 year career. I was blessed as a West indian to have seen the great man in action at both
Regional inter island cricket where he demolished many great West Indies fast bowlers as well as at the International level where he demolished the world.
Cricket is nothing without Pakistan and West Indies
Absulately rigjt.
How do you get hold of such epic stories and with footages too?!!! You are a legend, bro🙌🙌🙌
imran khan wanted him to learn a good lesson (don’t do or say things that you can’t own up to)
bruh why did imran khan encouraged him to do it then ?
imran khan at the end aapne ghabrana nhi hain
Thank you for sharing the story with us thoroughly enjoyed this one, you are great at telling stories long live Vivian Richards and Wasim Akram.
Great story, well told. Viv and Imran taught young Wasim an important lesson - you can be aggressive, you can bowl with fire in your belly, but never be disrespectful. Imran's take on it was, you started it, so you have to go out there into the corridor and finish it. If you can't finish it, don't start it. Sounds like Wasim learnt his lesson well. You would not have wanted to pick a fist-fight with Viv - he had a fantastic physique. He was strong as an ox.
True there is a reason wasim akram became the person he is....you need to have the wherewithal to learn and improve yourself..in &outside the game...to reach those heights.
Living legends....everyone sound today, had to reach out to them eventually... be it Tendulkar or Morrison.... hats off to si viv and wasim dada
Very nice narration, good part of Cricket history! Thanks for creating and sharing!
4:58 "nearly the crown of WI cricket has fallen to the ground"... wow, loooove the narration!!!
What is astounding to me is that in this era of intense aggression by the bowlers, they were still not wearing headgear. Today it would be unthinkable for a batsman to go out without a helmet. Those players in the pre helmet era were on another level.
Discovered your channel about 2 or 3 weeks ago and loving the content 😊
Subscribed ?
Viv Richards was the Bob Marley of Cricket, cool, swagger and different.
This is brilliant. Thank you for creating it.
The 1977 Pakistanis tour to the Caribbean was the best.I remember seeing the likes of Sadiq Mohammed and Zaire abyss facing off with Andy Robert and Michael holding that was pace vs batting.
Zaire abyss?

@@umairjavedmughal9475 thank you I remember I was at that game young boy at Bourda cricket arena in Guyana that same evening Sadiq Mohammed got his jaw broken by Andy Robert bouncer.
@@keithbaldwin4329 well guess i didn't remember everything.old man can forget somethings too.but i remember quite well being at that game.
With such videos regularly... Soon 1 million brother!! ❤
My love, my murshad, my childhood hero and my leader, IMRAN KHAN.....A true gentleman on field and statesman in office. I m proud to be a follower of IK.
Richard was a legend and infact he was angry to see a young man of 19 creating so much trouble.. No doubt Richard was the king of batsmen but he didn't know that he was up against the future king of all bowlers... Respect for both Legends....
AMEN brother... love from Australia

LOVE ALL PAKISTANI PACEMEN. SALUTE TO WI CRICKETERS
your storytelling skills are next level😍
good job🙌
The narration was so good that I was almost living in caribian cricket ground. Those are really fortunate who witnessed the rivalry of two all time greats.
Some great history here that I never knew.
Much thanks to this channel.
Watched in Hindi already but still the narration was suspenseful............Lovely work bro
A BATSMAN can counter punch 140+ deliveries of a fast bowler and that makes Vivian Richards a perfect batsman
Modern day batsmen struggle against real pace if they counter then they are batsmen🔥🔥🔥
bruh u cant even make it to state championships and then say players like Smith, root, kohli, warner and all can't play 150 kmph and, STRUGGLE?? Umran, for latest example, was smashed for 100 runs in 8 overs, 2 matches combined.. He bowls at 150 consistently and going over 155 occasionally.. Dude get yo fax straight...
@@monsieurandiant Agree with both of u.
Lol never before in the history of cricket has the bowling been as fast as today. Simple because the players are such fit athletes. But you blind old fans can't accept that, you just go on and on about 'the good old days when everything was better'.
@@monsieurandiant the 3 w sobers kanhai hunte butcher batted with out helmet and tye pad and their batting glove was inferior to today protective that the players are using today go do your research b4 commenting op[inion is like an asshole and every body at least got one bud from nyc

Ridiculous story. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Yep, well, good education for young Akram. Imran knew what he was doing.
Actually Khan taught Akram a life long lesson:
"Fight your own fights. Don't look to others to bail you out."
Patwari's will never understand this.

How do you manage to find old footages..its adorable..hats off 2 u

People also forget that Richards batted in Caribbean games without a helmet against Marshall, Garner, Holding , Patterson et al
Great work brother, good
story, but excellent narration👍 keep it up.

The greatest batsman of all time.
No doubt
Bruh you deserve 10 Million subscribers at least.. keep us the good work
Excellent info man!!!
That's why Imran Khan is in politics 😂
well said
Wasim akraum absolutely brilliant bowling
This was a really interesting story!!!
Wasim Akram my class mate study in cathedral school hall road mall road lahore in 1982
shehzad imran akram and younis learn to tamper with the cricket ball like baseball picture picking at the seam don sutton was good at that long finger nail make the seam bigger and causing the reverse swing my opinion bud from nyc
In actual , Wasim Akram was the one , who had ability to threat and out Richards
I mean you can say that sure but given context it doesn’t make sense to compare the two given Wasim only faced Richards not only past his prime but near the end of his cricketing career as a whole. On the other hand, Wasim was a young and upcoming new bowler.
Yes but he didn't need to be disrespectful. Nothing wrong with sending down a few bouncers and being aggressive with the ball, but saying stuff like that to one of the greatest players of all time was not on.
@@Wally-H he is one of the greatest players of all time as well.
That's not a debate at all.
Both are two of the top notch greatest blokes which are almost irreplaceable.
But the thing is WASIM was young at that time that's the only concern. He wasn't established as that time coz he was just at the start of his career and Richards was established.
Anyways, doesn't matter when there was a rift between two of the greatest players of all times.
@@Wally-H true, wasim should not have said that, that was immature and very disrespectful.
Beautiful !! That's how they became Legends 🙏🏻😎🙏🏻
Thanks for the information..
I would like to see that kind of West Indies strong team once again...

Bro The narratoor ate some points
1 the very next bowl he bowled viv richards
2 Imran said its your fight
this was a funny incident not a Serious incident the narrator just changed its emotions and situation by saying imran betrayed like it was a very serious incident Wasim Akram told this story him self in a funny way in Kapil Sharma show
disagree , viv would've not had the balls to do that in Pakistan. Its abysmal to threaten a cricketer with such a statement. Ive lost respect for Richards. One cannot threaten someone just because he is in his home country. Shame on Richards. Sledging should be answered by sledging not death threats.
@@patrick_1984 finally some one with a valid point.

Hey Buddy, how do you get such intricate details ? Hats off man..
You are an amazingly talented story teller, Lots of Praise and Love from Pakistan.
They had such great and legendary names, especially under Clive Llyod as i remember. Whether in batting or fast bowling, they were a class of their own.
It seems that Imran Khan through out his life had a kink for empty assurance- "apne ghabrana nhi he".
😂
What's your problem?
What happen with that Vedio. with JAMAICA. VS. LEWARDS ISLANDS ..Cricket match 1983.
..that would be good vintage to see. Please somebody put on UA-cam.
Beautiful narration, awesome voice and modulation.
Most of the people don't know but Imran wanted Wasim to solve his problems himself instead of relying on others
As told by Wasim Akram in Kapil Sharma show.....
Great vid keep it coming
Thanks for sharing Boss ☺️
We will never see another Master Blaster like Sir Vivian Richards!
Awesome 😎
But pls make a video on “How Ganguly became the Team India’s captain beating the likes of Jadeja, Kumble and Tendulkar”. Last time you said it was a blood bath. Eagerly awaiting..
