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.

I am surprised to see experienced players coming in to bat so late and lower down the order. The team management should take strict action against the players and seek answers from them as to what is really happening and why the batting order has been changed.

Are they (Pandya and David) such bad players that if they come to bat early they will get out?”
