In the words of CLR James, this film goes “beyond a boundary” to explain how the West Indies cricket team became the dominant force in world cricket in the 1970s & 1980s. Their dominance was so complete, it’s possible to argue that they were the greatest sporting team of the twentieth century.
The West Indies fast bowlers were skilful and brutal - it was remarkable that no one was killed - and in Viv Richards the team possessed a sporting genius.

@ChrisMayLA6 absolutely.
More generally, I tend to ignore sports writing and sports interviews. It is usually either egotistical dross or astonishingly banal.
I played my sport to the highest level it has. I knew I was competing against people much more gifted than I, but I worked damned hard at it, as hard as I could, and *loved* being a part of it.
So often, sports journalism has no appreciation of or understanding of that inner life, or of the fine margins in play
@urlyman @ChrisMayLA6 I happened to come across a beautiful bit of sports radio yesterday.. Ravi is a young blind cricket fan and player who basically took over the radio coverage at Edgbaston during tea. He was interviewed himself..then introduced to several players who he then interviewed - far more competently than the usual presenters! He was at interviewed at Headingly too.
