Lara should not apologize<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sir Viv Richards has been known for his swagger, beaming confidence and fearless batsmanship, however the same way he gives talk, he has to be able to take it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sir Viv had a go at Denesh Ramdin in 2012 against England, that was his opinion, entitled to it, said it publicly and Denesh Ramdin is entitled to respond in the same fashion. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

So, if the Prince of Port of Spain has an opinion of Viv\u2019s dressing room behavior, Viv is entitled to deny it, and in the end, roll the credits.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

So, a batter like Lara, Ramdin or anyone for that matter, cannot be viewed as a lesser cricketer than him, because the job title is to generate runs, and win matches, helmet or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sir Viv\u2019s hierarchy behavior towards a young Lara, by tossing his kit out of the QP Oval\u2019s dressing room and waking him from a nap and forcing him to watch the rain fall in 1989 proves that. <\/p>

Sir Viv himself didn\u2019t come out and publicly deny those events, so Carl Hooper allegedly did in fact shed a tear every now and again because of Viv. Carl probably doesn\u2019t want to look weak, probably more the mortar outside of this. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

That kind of behavior breaks every safeguarding rule in modern sport. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In a team sport, everybody is equal, when performance doesn\u2019t warrant a place in the team is a decision for the selectors, the coach and management, not another player, even if your name is Viv Richards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lara should not apologize; Viv needs to humble himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
