    Richie Benaud - Cricket legend

    The former Australian cricket captain and respected cricket commentator has died.

    I'm not a cricket fan but I liked his laconic commentating style whenever I happened upon him on TV.

    R.I.P.

    My profile picture and avatar are pictures of the lovely Agnetha Fältskog from ABBA, not me. I am a man, and an admirer of her. Friend proposers take note!

    Sad to hear he passed away. I'm a big cricket fan and when I was a kid I would watch cricket from start to close of play. Richie and Jim Laker were the two main commentators for the BBC at the time. Both were brilliant in there own way. Another great commentator from my youth has now gone R.I.P. to a great man.
