Ritchie Benaud dies, aged 84. - St Charles Owl - 10-04-2015 Sad news today that Richie Benaud died today aged 84. I grew up listening to him on tv commentating on Test cricket in the UK, even though he was an Aussie, he was a great commentator!! RIP Ritchie. http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/cricket/32182999 RE: Ritchie Benaud dies, aged 84. - WakeyTerrier - 10-04-2015 Very sad news, I remember him commentating on the test matches I used to watch during the summer holidays RE: Ritchie Benaud dies, aged 84. - theo_luddite - 10-04-2015 Always liked his style and delivery as a commentator on TV or radio. He painted many a vivid picture in my mind when he was on the radio. A lot around now in many sports would do well to emulate him. RE: Ritchie Benaud dies, aged 84. - Lord Snooty - 10-04-2015 Great commentator. Last of the old school that I grew up listening to. Jonners, Arlott, Laker, CMJ. All sadly missed. RIP, Richie.

RE: Ritchie Benaud dies, aged 84. - Stairs - 10-04-2015 He was a class act. I grew up listening to him and mourn the departure of someone who seems like an old friend. |
