Sir Viv with Windies to the end

London - Sir Vivian Richards, not surprisingly, believes West Indies will win the World Cup.

"I'm going to support West Indies until I die. They are going to win it," the former West Indies captain told BBC Radio yesterday.

But he added that there were a few teams that West Indies should take into consideration.

"South Africa are the best-organised unit in world cricket today and you have Australia who consistently have been doing well in One-Day games and Test matches," he said.

New Zealand and England could benefit from the conditions in England at this time of year, he added.

"Teams that have had adequate enough experience in these conditions I believe are going to do well."

Asked who was the best fast bowler in world cricket, Sir Vivian said he was very impressed with Australian Glenn McGrath.

"McGrath is a very mean sort of bowler, but I think he has got to get his attitude right in terms of his mind. There are times when he can be a little bit too arrogant."
