Barry Richards

No cricketer gave rise to as much speculation as Barry Richards did. Unfortunately for him, his career was cut short when the ICC decided to ban South Africa in 1970.

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.
