Richie Benaud RIP

Former Australia captain and legendary cricket commentator Richie Benaud has died at the age of 84.

A pioneering leg-spin bowler, Benaud played in 63 Tests, 28 as captain, before retiring in 1964 to pursue a career in journalism and broadcasting.

I was one of millions who enjoyed his commentary on "Test match Special" and other cricket programmes.

Rest in Peace.
