The most dangerous batsman.. ever.

We worked out during World Series Cricket that he was such a good leg side player, that bowling off stump to him which you do to most batsmen was like bowling leg stump to anyone else because he came across to off stump and hit everything through the leg side. So we decided that – that  far outside the off stump was the best place to bowl; that was more like off stump to him. We had a lot of success for a few games, 2 or 3 games. We had him caught behind, caught on the slips.  We concentrated for the rest of that season on his off stump. The biggest mistake we ever made because we then turned him into not only being the best leg side player in the world, he became one of the best off side players as well. So we just doubled his repertoire. – Greg Chappell on Viv Richards
