Writing about Vivian Richards, as English sports journalist James Lawton will testify, can be a precarious business. Richards, irritated by something that Lawton had written during a Test match in 1990, famously missed the start of a session in order to make a detour to the press box to give Lawton a piece of his mind.

It was a moment Richards never forgot, and in time, "hiscommunity" widened to include the whole of the Caribbean. Richardsdidn't just play cricket, he played for a greater cause. He statedit plainly in his autobiography Hitting Across the Line: "I believevery strongly in the black man asserting himself in this world andover the years I have leaned towards many movements that followthis basic cause."

so an east indian young man retaliated aganst richards but noooooooooooooooo the arrogant richards dont see an east indian man asserting himself

Sport Cricket Sledging Richards backfired on me, Akram reveals

By K.R.Nayar, Senior Reporter

Published: January 20, 2009, 22:58

Dubai: Can you guess what happened when Wasim Akram, the "Sultan of Swing" sledged "King" Viv Richards

during a Test match?

Akram narrated the incident during the recent Shyam Bhatia awards for UAE's outstanding performers in domestic cricket.

"I was only nineteen when I played in the 1988 Barbados Test match during the tour of West Indies.

It was in this Test match that I realised I've got the pace to disturb the batsmen," he said.

"When only 45 minutes were left to go for close of play, Richards came out to bat.

My skipper Imran Khan gave me the ball and asked me to have a go.

"I bowled a bouncer at Richards and his cap fell while avoiding it

I went up to him and abused him

I was very skinny at that time and he looked at me and said: 'I will see [you] out man.'"

Akram immediately went to Imran Khan and related the incident.

"Imran told me to go ahead and scare him.

So I bowled another bouncer and his cap fell again and so I went up to him and with a lot of action, provoked him.

Viv going after Wasim Akram was different....very different. This was stupidity at the highest, and behavior at the lowest.

"Richards looked at me and spat to the side with contempt.

That was a time when there were no match referees nor close up television," he said.

Khan asked Akram to bowl the last over of the day.

"I bowled a bouncer again and then returned to the dressing room.

While removing my shoes, the room attendant said that someone is waiting for me outside the dressing room.

"When I went out, I saw Richards in only his pad and no shirt and with a bat in hand.


I ran to Imran and told him about it, but he quietly said: 'it is better you handle him.'


I was shocked and so I went and told Richards very politely that I am sorry for what happened

and [that] it won't happen again.


"Richards looked at me and said:


"If it happens next time, I will kill you. "

Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of AT&T Stadium, otherwise known as “Jerry World,” is the glare from the sun that bursts through the windows and shines directly onto the field. Time and time again the glare has impacted players’ visibility during games, yet Jerry Jones refuses to make any changes to account for the sun.

Rather than install curtains, Jones has previously said he feels it’s a home-field advantage to have that type of stadium factor impacting games. Well, the glare ended up benefitting the Chiefs early into Thursday’s Thanksgiving game, as a pass from Dak Prescott to George Pickens fell incomplete, at least in part due to the impact of the sun’s glare.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.
