Birmingham<\/strong>: Captain Darren Sammy was quick to reaffirm his young side’s huge respect for former West Indies’ greats after Denesh Ramdin was fined by the International Cricket Council for a jibe at legendary captain Vivian Richards.<\/p>\n

Ramdin celebrated his century on the fourth day of the third Test against England Sunday by producing a piece of paper with the words “Yeah Viv Talk Nah” scribbled, and brandishing it towards the media centre.<\/p>\n

It was in response to criticism levelled at him by Viv, now an analyst for BBC Radio, following West Indies’ second Test defeat at Trent Bridge.<\/p>\n

“Denesh and I spoke and he spoke in the media yesterday and he said probably his emotions got the better of him,” Sammy told a media conference Monday.<\/p>\n

“We as a West Indian team have a lot of respect for our past players especially someone so great as Sir Viv. We all take a lot of inspiration from Fire in Babylon (movie on great former Windies players) which reflects our history and as a team we have a lot of respect for guys like Sir Viv.”<\/p>\n

Following the nine-wicket defeat at Trent Bridge, Viv said Ramdin had “deteriorated in such a big way” and looked like “a totally lost guy”.<\/p>\n

Sunday, Ramdin said the statement had been “a bit hurtful” and admitted the celebration Sunday had been “a bit emotional”.<\/p>\n

Sammy said he expected Ramdin to discuss the issue with Viv but had no idea if the player would apologise in person.<\/p>\n

“I know Ramdin would probably have a word with him. There’s no love lost, like he said. Hopefully we could move on and continue respecting our past players,” Sammy noted.<\/p>\n

The incident provoked the ire of another West Indies legend, former fast bowler Michael Holding who is now a pundit for Sky Television.<\/p>\n

Holding blasted Ramdin’s action as “crass” and said he should be fined by team management.<\/p>\n

“That’s Mikey’s opinion. Again, a lot of people have been having opinions about what the team should do and what should happen,” Sammy pointed out. (IANS)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
