Times of India Interview with Viv Richards - excerpt
Q. There’s this urban legend that Glamorgan’s Greg Thomas once bounced you and said, "It’s red, round and weighs five ounces." Then you hit one out of the ground and you told him, "You know what it looks like, now go find it." Did this really happen?
A. Yes, this happened in Taunton, when Somerset played Glamorgan. He was a big Welsh fast bowler, as quick as anyone on his day. For some reason I won’t tell you what we did the night before. Next day I wasn’t feeling that good, and he saw me looking a little pale. After I had missed three deliveries, he said, "Hey Viv maan, it’s red and round and it’s whatever ounces." That what you need to get your competitive veins pumping. Then he pitched it where I liked it and it went out of the ground into a little river. Two guys were fishing and it fell into their dinghy, and when we asked for the ball they said, "You guys can go to hell, this is the first catch we’ve had all day!" The bowler was walking back to his mark and I remembered what he said, so I followed him back and said, "Hey Greg maan, since you know what colour, shape and size, go help them find it!"
