Losing family members, losing some of my closest friends, so I think I was the one who suffered the most, but I think it was grief. I don’t know if it was depression or not. I never went to the doctor to get medication to take care of my sadness and depression.”
Former West Indies cricketers demanded an apology from Brian Lara for the wrong information written about them in his new book, know the whole matter
Brian’s new book is called LARA The England Chronicles. Recently, a new book by Brian Lara, former legendary player of West Indies cricket team and the one who played a 400 run test innings against England, has been published. The name of this new book of Lara is LARA The England Chronicles. Let us tell you that the image of former Caribbean legend Vivian Richards has been tarnished in a paragraph written in this book, and not only Richards but also Carl Hooper has been disappointed by this wrong statement. Both these former legendary cricketers have claimed that their character has been portrayed wrongly in Lara’s book. In a joint statement, Carl Hooper and Viv Richards said, as quoted by PTI- Sir Viv Richards and Mr Carl Hooper are deeply disappointed by the gross misrepresentations made about them in Brian Lara’s recently published book. The allegations not only distort the reality of their relationship but also unfairly and damagingly impugn their characters. The book claims that Sir Vivian was aggressive towards Mr Hooper and made him cry once a week, which is completely false. Such details are an attempt to tarnish the image of Vivian Richards. This claim is not only baseless but also dangerous for both sides. this whole matter Let us tell you that there is a paragraph in Lara’s new book, which says – I (Brian Lara) would say that Vivian used to make me cry every three weeks, but he used to make Carl (Hooper) cry once a week. The tone of Viv’s voice is intimidating and if you are not strong enough, you can take it personally and get affected by it. Me, I was never really affected by it. In a way I welcomed it, because I was way below their image, I know I was getting abused, but I was a strong person, but Karl? I know for a fact that Karl kept his distance from Viv Richards.
