Viv Richards

Another one-man show from the 80's in this list. After coming in at 11-2, Viv Richards took the responsibility upon himself to take the team to a respectable total. Wickets kept falling around him but he stood in the middle and kept scoring at a brisk pace.

He managed to take the team to a match-winning score of 269 almost single-handedly as the next highest score in the batting line-up was 26.
