BIRMINGHAM  - Vivian Richards told Denesh Ramdin to make runs for a winning West Indies after the wicketkeeper celebrated his hundred against England in the third Test here at Edgbaston on Sunday by turning on the all-time great.
 Having reached three figures on the fourth day Ramdin produced a piece of paper from his pocket on which the words “YEAH VIV TALK NAH” were written.
Richards reacted to Ramdin’s by saying: “I’m not sure what Ramdin meant but he’s played well and if you’re given enough chances you’re going to get it done. He should be happy and humble. I think I remember saying he’d lost his confidence, but I’m on the other side of the fence now and I’m here to do a job — there’s no sentiment in it. I’m glad that he got the motivation from it.”
