And if you can imagine the April, May start of the season when it's three degrees below and you've got hand warmers in your pockets and hands in your pockets, suddenly this thing's screaming towards you at 90 miles an hour.
You've got to be very quick to get your hands out of your pocket.
And, you know, sometimes easier to sort of let it go, oh, sorry, sorry.
I'll be fine by July, don't worry.
but he was a super guy too absolutely brilliant brilliant player but a brilliant human being who put everything I mean one of the nice one of the great things about him and his character was that playing for West Indies for Barbados his home island for Hampshire it was the same level of input and determination and camaraderie so when he died young it was such people mourned him across the world and he played in South Africa as well at Natal same thing everyone loved him wherever he was so Malcolm
I put at the top of that bowling tree.
Of all the people that we played against, Viv Richards was probably the best.
The master blaster was probably the most intimidating batsman.
People use that word intimidating in cricket about bowling.
It's normally people bowling at 95 miles an hour who are intimidated.
But someone like Viv as a batsman was intimidating to bowlers.
They looked at him thinking, now what?
And there was a guy called Graham Stevenson.
We played in the early 80s in Barbados.
Graham came from Yorkshire, was fast medium, not ultra-quick.
The classic, he used to tell himself against himself.
He was standing there, ball in hand, looking at Biv the other end, 20-yard run-up.
He ran in all the way, going, don't bounce him, don't bounce him.
Just said, don't bounce him, don't bounce him.
Bowled him a bouncer.
