Just shows how good Viv Richards actually was.
Even if he had batted in the current era he'd have been second only to Dhoni.

I never knew Greenidge had such a good ODI record? Always thought Haynes was the best of the two when it came to ODI's.
Viv also took a fifer in a ODI.
Great player

Dhoni for me.
The current great England team could not get him out since lords. He is the greatest ODI champ.
