ANDY ROBERTS:
"On the 1983 tour of India, RICHIE RICHARDSON lost his luggage. He travelled for two weeks with hardly any clothes, and the management did hardly anything about it. I told them that is wrong. Even in the nets he was getting ignored. Our batting order was: GREENIDGE, HAYNES, RICHARDS, GOMES, LLOYD and DUJON. RICHIE was the third opener.
He would come only after the bowlers had finished batting. He would have part-timers bowling to him. It was unfair to the young man to bat after the bowlers, and also, importantly, it was wrong for him to know he was not in the playing XI the day before the Test. I told him I would bowl at him to make sure he got some proper practice."
