Vivian Richards and Carl Hooper have demanded an apology from Brian Lara for his remarks that Richards used to make Carl Hooper cry once a week. Lara made the remarks in his book and wrote that Richards’ voice was intimidating and he used to make Lara cry once in three weeks but Carl Hooper cried every week. The remarks did not sit well with Richards and Hooper who released a statement and denied Lara’s claims.

“Sir Vivian Richards and Mr. Carl Hooper are deeply disheartened by the gross misrepresentations made about them in Mr. Brian Lara’s recently released book,” the duo said in a statement put out by Hooper. “The allegations presented not only distort the reality of their relationship but also impugn their characters in an unjust and harmful manner,” said a statement.
