Richie Benaud surprises No-one
So Richie has confirmed that he will do his last summer of cricket in the 09/10 season here in Australia. Sadly his role has been so diminishd in recent times it's already sad, now all that remains is the final broadcast!!
I recall inspirational footage of his bowling exploits with the old Midford shirt unbottoned half way to the waist, his adage that if you can't add anyhting to the pictures then remain silent.... don't we wish a few colleagues understood that!
His bloopers reel must include his intro to the first State One Dayer at Adelaide Oval with the temporary floodlight towers that were raised and lowered for games so as not to destroy the heritage views of the ground... apparently the Towers are "only 30 minutes to full erection!" and then 15 seconds of silence...
Cheers Richie!! I see a final 12th Man CD in the making!!
