A cricket legend, a nice guy, one of the many great voices of sport, and a chunk of Rory Bremner's act. RIP

Richie was for cricket what John Virgo is to snooker, the best commentator in their sport. RIP

If John Virgo is the voice of snooker, Richie the voice of Cricket...wait I've an idea for a new thread!!!

The greatest commentator of all time, as far as I know. Nobody else had his authority and popularity. If you ask any broadcaster from any sport they will surely acknowledge Richie Benaud as the master of commentating.

Well, a good innings, seems very apt this time. Long and good life.

Last of the old timers commentators. Always enjoyed his dry wit, and the odd sarcastic remark. R.I.P. Richie.
