Wow! The quickest ball Viv Richards says he ever faced in his career. Wasim Akram at his lethal best

Blink and you'll miss it! Wasim Akram bowls his fastest ever delivery to Sir Viv Richards at Bellerive Oval Hobart in December 1988. Viv is on public record saying it was the fastest ball he ever faced in his career. @fromashestoarchive1861

That bouncer was fast even in the slow motion replay

[jamess]

The quickest bouncer and Sir Richards had no helmet. His eye contact saved him from being hit by that delivery. Great reflexes from a Great Player.👏

Yes, the bouncer was quick. But look at the panache and ease with which the great man played the next ball. That's why he was Viv Richards the icon.

[vnanjun]

Gavaskar said in an interview that the first time he faced Wasim, he asked Imran who was the kid bowling so fast. Wasim is the GOAT!

[RaghavendraVasud-cjqn]

That was bloody the great man acknowledged it through his expression

[vishwanathk]

King viv later stated that this very moment made it clear that he was in the twilight of his career.

Viv is a True Champion. He never complained n see the next ball, playing with Ease . No fear at all. It's God's Gift n God Has Saved His Life Many Times as God Himself Loved Viv Richards, the King.😊

[sanjay-vfej]

Both of them r legend . I really adore both ❤️

[zodiac]

What about the shot after the bouncer? brilliantly flicked off the pads.

[subodhdixit]

Waseem, greatest bowler ever.Viv greatest batsman ever

[xgtdgge]

Slow motion look like 100 mph delivery in real time must be scary 😮

[NKSSVlogs]

Vivian Richards was a biggest star player at that time! Chris Gayle was nothing in front of him! 💪🔥

[gambet]

Damn, I know cameras were not really capable back then to catch fast motion, but that looked deadly, 2 of the greatest of all time in action. Bouncer was also targeting head. lol

[sanjibmuk]

Viv batting without a helmet against ferocious fast bowling!

[चेतन_महाराष्ट्र]

Viv Richards was such a dominating player.

[GKV]

Oh Sir Viv, that was scary bouncer. Oh man, how could you faced those bouncers without helmet. I need a helmet even while keeping the wkts. You are genius.
