Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
International cricket's loss was first class cricket's gain. In a first class career that spanned between 1964 and 83, Richards scored over 28000 runs, including 80 centuries. He played for various teams including Hampshire, Gloucestershire, Natal, South Australia, Transvaal and in World Series Cricket. Various records were made, many more were broken as Richards entertained audiences across the world with his aggressive strokeplay. He has scored over 1000 runs in a season 15 times, has scored a century before lunch 9 times and made 325 in a single day for South Australia against an attack which had Dennis Lillee. In the World Series Cricket, he scored over 500 runs in 5 matches, including a double century and a century. He was South Africa's player of the year in 1968 and even played 6 unofficial Tests for South Africa.
After his playing days, Barry Richards became a regular in the commentary box and remained active in the media as a cricket expert.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Barry Richards played just four Tests - and the cricket world is poorer for it. They were all in 1969-70 against Australia, and Richards made the most of his limited time in the limelight. A talent of such enormous stature that he once batted (and did well) using only the leading edge in a Durban club match, Richards was forced by South Africa's sporting isolation to play elsewhere, thrilling spectators with his nimble, aggressive strokeplay for Hampshire, Natal and South Australia, and in Kerry Packer's World Series Cricket. There were many feats of remarkable batsmanship from one of the finest talents of the 20th century, including nine hundreds before lunch and 1000 runs in a season 15 times. But South Africans will never forget the Durban Test of 1969-70, when Richards and Graeme Pollock flayed the Australian attack to all parts of the Kingsmead ground. Neil Manthorp
