Master blaster takes final bow
LONDON. Aug 12 : After one final salute to a stage he has graced for 18 years. Vlv Richards tucked
his bat under his arm and embarked on the long, last r^ik. reports Reuter.
For half a minute one of the world's greatest batsmen had thought about nothing other than that his dismissal was a potentially catastrophic blow to the West Indies' hopes of saving the fifth Test against England.
Then it suddenly dawned on him — never again would he make the return trip in cricket's ultimate contest .
Richards turned 180 degrees. held his cap in one hand, his bat in the other and acknowledged 17.000 Oval spectators who were paying wonderful tribute to him.
England's players had been delighted to see the back of the 39-year-old Antiguan after a fit-por-a-king innings of 60. But, to a man. they joined in the rapturous applause.
Fast bowler Phillip DeFreitas, racing in from the outfield to congratulate successful bowler David Lawrence, even changed route to shake Richards' hand.
Richards may already have forgotten just who did the hand-shaking. But he will al-wirys remember the gesture.
Before this match began he vowed there would be no sadness. no tears. He Just wanted to enjoy his final Test before retirement.
His record speaks for itself: 121 Test*. 8.540 runs. 24 centuries, average 50.23. Highest score: '291, aptly on the same ground 15 years ago.
Only India's Sunil Gavaskar and Australia's Allan Border have amassed more Test runs.
But. just in case heart ruled head during that long trek back, the West Indies captain pulled his cherished maroon cap over his eyes and never looked up again until he reached the sanctuary of the
dressing room.
The applause went on and on. dozens of spectators and stewards tried to pat him on the back and several succeeded. But Richards Just kept on walking.
"Thanks Viv, we'll miss you." read a banner strung on the balcony of a nearby building. No one will argue.
The ovation at the end of his Innings stifled any Immediate sadness felt by Richards.
"There was a moment of disappointment but then came the realisation of what the moment meant.
"Hearing that ovation, hearing people saying "Thank you," helped drown the sense of sorrow 1 felt after being out.
"It's a feeling every sportsman would love to have."
He also paid tribute to the England players, several of whom shook his hand. "I would like to say thank you to them."
"I would like to have gone on to a hundred. But the great don' (Bradman) went for a duck and I was determined not to do that" he added.
Bradman, the greatest of all batsmen, was out second ball on his farewell here in 1948.
Richards said his bat twisted slightly when was caught by Hugh Morris at mid-on off the bowling of Lawrence.
"I wanted to hit it a bit straighter." he said.
The West Indian captain forecast a close finish to the match.
"We have a game on our hands. If we get another 100 anything could happen." he sakl.
"Richie (Richardson) Is still playing well. Well make England fight for It."
Richardson paid his own tribute to the departing captain.
"It was a lovely feeling batting with Viv in his last Test. 1 was disappointed when he got
It will be a hard act to follow."
