#8 Viv Richards knows the score
The 1983-84 West Indies tour of India saw Sunil Gavaskar suffer a relative dip in form. For the sixth and last Test in Madras (now Chennai), Gavaskar decided not to open the innings and come in lower down the order at number four, hoping to bat freely under somewhat lesser pressure.
However, that was not to be: Malcolm Marshall quickly got rid of Anshuman Gaekwad and Dilip Vengsarkar, without troubling the scorekeeper.
With India at nil for the loss of two wickets, Gavaskar walked on to the ground, and right into this jocular jibe by Sir Viv Richards, "Sunny, it doesn't matter whether you bat number one or four, man. The score's still zero!"
