England are ‘beatable’ insists Richards

AFP, BIRMINGHAM: Vivian Richards has insisted England are “beatable” as he urged the West Indies to restore a sense of pride during their Test series against Joe Root's men.

The first of a three-match contest starts at Birmingham's Edgbaston ground on Thursday with the inaugural day/night Test in England.

West Indies have not won a Test in England since 2000, just part of a miserable overall away record during the last 20 years.

They have also arrived without several star players, the legacy of a bitter dispute with administrators and a clash with the lucrative Caribbean Premier League Twenty20 tournament.
