Sir Viv calls for all-pace attack

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (CMC)

Cricket legend Sir Vivian Richards believes West Indies should pick an all-out pace attack for the all-important third and final Test against Australia which begins tomorrow at Kensington Oval.

Sir Vivian hopes to see a full list of fast bowlers for the Kensington Oval pitch which he thinks will give the home team the best chance at levelling the series.

"We will have the conditions that should suit fast bowling - Antigua was not," Sir Vivian told reporters attending a news conference to announce that Johnnie Walker, the world's best-selling brand of Scotch Whiskey, and the West Indies Cricket Board have entered into a sponsorship agreement covering this year's Australia and next year's England home series.

Sir Vivian added: "West Indies have to try and find the best fast-bowling attack that is possible, and bring back some mem-ories of what it used to be like at Kensington Oval."

Sir Vivian is also very pleased with the work ethic of veteran batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul and he believes this is the reason for his increased success over the last year.

Sir Vivian wants the other players in the Windies unit to emulate Chanderpaul's diligence in order for them to be successful.

"When you look at someone like Shivnarine Chanderpaul and his achievements, the time spent at the crease, he must have worked hard to achieve these things," Sir Vivian said. "We are seeing the final product because of the hard work.
