Re: Cricket

Richie Benaud was a true legend - a brilliant and fair minded commentator who, despite being a proud Australian, never managed to let that colour his views.

I'm too young to recall him playing but as a sports commentator he was up there amongst the very best. Over the years I often wanted to write to him but I guess time flew by and I'm sad to say I never did. He was so much a feature of long summer days of my youth watching cricket that it seems impossible to believe he's no longer around.

Anyway another legend has left the field for the very last time...



RIP Richie Benaud.
