Richie was so humble, he wanted the focus to be on the players of the day even though he was a top player in his day. What a man he was

@johncourtneidge 9 месяцев назад

Yes!

@MrSeanMDolan 4 года назад

Had such a sharp mind even at a late age, I was lucky to be born in 1991, I got to hear his commentary, whilst watching Waugh, Warne, McGrath, Ponting, and Gilchrist.

@adam872 4 года назад

It's hard to overstate how good Richie was as a commentator and observer of the game. That bloke knew more than most people have forgotten. He was also a very good player and I think that's been forgotten a bit. His record at test level would still be very good for a leggie today (3.9 wickets per test at 27).

They only give to the West Indies, BLM was still alive. So many WI players were knighted, is Richie Richardson more worthy of Richie Benaud, Denis Lillee or Shane Warne? UK knighthood is a mockery, should be abolished.

@legbreakgoogly 12 лет назад

Just seen it... That is quite remarkable. Rob's got a library of cricket footage I simply don't not have. Plus he looked after all his VT. I simply recorded stuff in bits and bobs for my own benefit. I reckon Rob's a visionary... I reckon when recording all that footage in the early 80's & 90's, he knew 1 day there would be a worldwide video sharing platform for him to re-broadcast to the world again. I could be wrong... P.S couple of month til i'll be uploading again... I hope.

@RBenjo21 3 года назад

Whatever happened to the young leggie here? The fact he never played First Class is just indicative of how many spinners get lost from the game, because captains wait too long to bring you on then take you off after one bad ball and it's back to military medium...

@tempestteacup 9 лет назад

Pleasure to hear Ritchie commentate on his own performances from 1961, and his incredibly gentle handling of the under 17 cricketer. One of the joys of cricket is the opportunity to hear articulate individuals talking about what they have done - it is the sort of anti-sport by comparison with all of the others, where we get both to watch feats of athleticism and (occasionally) hear people explain them, their thoughts, and feelings. Great arm ball from Davidson.

@andrewspencer5220 4 года назад

I love this. Benaud just loves talking about leg spin bowling and he makes it sound so simple. As a test cricketer he is seriously underrated. He was the first man to take 200 wickets and also score 2000 runs in tests. Try asking that in a pub quiz, when I asked nobody got it right.

@weirdskyfan6428 3 года назад

Fun fact - the U17 player’s county career ended at 20 after a broken ankle, but he went on to play club cricket in South Africa and New Zealand and make local headlines in 2015 after scoring six sixes in one over

@hectorlp1298 2 месяца назад

Benaud saw a lot of catches and for him to rate that one as one of the best is about as high praise as is possible. I do think Simpson was the best slip fielder, not just for that catch and others like it but for his consistency.
