Viv Richards was notorious for punishing bowlers who dared to sledge him. One of the most witty incidents I know about Vivian Richards was when he gave a befitting reply to sledging by a bowler in a county match in England.
Greg Thomas, a Glamorgan bowler, attempted to sledge Viv Richards after Richards had played and missed several balls in a row. Thomas poked Richards : “It’s red, round and weighs about five ounces, in case you were wondering”. However, the sledging backfired. Richards who was obviously angered by the remark, smashes the next delivery out of the ground and into a nearby river. Turning to the bowler, he commented: “Greg, you know what it looks like, now go and find it.”
