warrior firing at a hastily evasive Ken Rutherford.

his eyes follow the ball all the way to the boundary from behind a pair
of sunglasses that does a poor job in trying to hide his unmasked joy.
Viv
Richards, miles down the track and lifting some unfortunate
fast bowler from the Kensington Oval to somewhere else in Barbados.
A stunned Geoff Boycott's off-stump cart-wheeling to the
wicketkeeper courtesy of the final delivery of that famous
Michael Holding over.
To the very last of the outstretched arms of Curtly
Ambrose waving goodbye at the end of his career.
