Cricketics Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 "Mcgrath dismissed for 2. Just 98 short of 100" "Getting dark" pause and silence "really getting dark indeed."
kubrickian Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 I remember as a kid waking up at 5 AM and watching cricket from Australia on those lush, green outfields and great stadiums and beautiful coverage with commentators like Richie Benaud, Bill Lawry, Tony Greig and being in awe of the whole telecast and quality of cricket. Richie Benaud definitely had a part in making me a cricket fan. RIP.
Robelinda Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 70 mins of vintage Benaud commentary from the 80's, includes 30 mins of ball by ball Viv Richards.
CricketBuffOne Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Great cricketer and a great human being... great entertainer in the commentary box as well. May your soul rest in peace.

Red Point Blue Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Richie Benaud obituary: the 'voice of cricket' was the game's shrewdest analyst Richie Benaud was an all-time great all-rounder cricketer, a crafty leg-spinner who captured 248 wickets in 63 Tests, an attacking lower-order batsman who hit one of the fastest Test centuries, a brilliant gully fielder with amazing reflexes and a crowd puller wherever he played. He was also a courageous and victorious leader of men, who lost neither a Test series nor his cool. http://www.theage.com.au/comment/obituaries/richie-benaud-obituary-the-voice-of-cricket-was-the-games-shrewdest-analyst-20150410-1mh5j7.html
