Richards played only four Tests but made the most of the limited opportunities. He scored 508 runs at an average of 72.57 in seven innings and made a big impact.
He plundered over 28000 first-class runs, and achieved many milestones in the process. He scored a hundred before lunch on nine separate instances and over 1000 runs in a season, 15 times.
