What would it have been to watch Barry Richards bat?

It's darn good just to hear Barry Richards talk cricket. The twitter laughs, glint in the eye, snowy white mop on head, looks like he won't walk but bounce like a bunny. And when he talks cricket, there's an evil bounce there too - he can be dismissive yet inviting, simple yet enlightening. In a world of hedgers, he's the straight shooter.

Have you seen him bat, tell me about it. And while we're at it, Happy Bored Day, Barry Sahab! Hainhainhain!!
