People talk a lot of these three. Richardson is the one who destroyed us in the late 1980s series. He destroyed Aussies too. He was world no1 for a while.  Breathtaking pull shots leg glances and backfoot square drive he got the full repertoire of calypso shots. Can't remember which match. After some insane hitting he pulled something. Richards massaged his hand.

Most of these Aussie batsmen must be journey men cricketers. None of those names sound familiar.

They had a batting ratting called Deloittes batting rating. He had just entered the ranking by 1987. THen he reached top ranking. Vengsarkar was world no.1 batsman for 2 years.

1986-87 Vengsarkar was just simply superb.

 

Richie Richardson was great to watch, but partly because of his name, he was always "Little Richards". Plus, if I recall correctly, his drop-off was quite rapid, too

He was the biggest headache for India in the 1988 series. He was far and ahead of every batsmen from both sides
