Vivian Richards, the great West Indian cricketer, recently spoke of a chat with Sunil Gavaskar, in which Gavaskar told him how surprised he was to see India's pace attack outshine the great West Indies fast bowling team of his time. Richards, famous for his aggressive batting, has always been a fan of Gavaskar's defensive skills against fast bowling. This conversation demonstrates the development of cricket, as India now possesses a strong pace attack that equals the great West Indies team of yesteryears.
