Richie Benaud we love u sir What a voice. we learnt cricket by listening ur cricket commentry.

The sound of summer is gone.... a truly “ marvellous “ man

the greatest commentator in the history of sport, just hearing the mans voice makes me feel serenity

I will never forget being in New York and trying to find a bank that would cash my travellers cheques, I eventually found one and was directed to a cashier booth that was heavily fortified with security screens. I was asked for my passport and when I produced it the teller said Australian hey? so I replied That's right mate and he said "Richie Benaud" shocked to have an American know Richie I took a closer look to notice the teller was an Indian who proceeded to tell me he played against the legend in 1959 for Bank of India v Australia. He couldn't stop telling me what a lovely gentleman Richie was I didn't think I was ever going to get out of that bank!!

One of the best spin bowler ever, not to mention the absolute best commentator of cricket of all time. Very sadly missed. Onya Richie, you were the best.

Voice of my childhood.. Rest In Peace Richie

being a cricketer look so unbelievable that cricket is going on but Richie Benuad is no more...cricket will always miss ur voice...love and respect from Pakistan

For many, was the voice of cricket. Much loved, always missed.

There will never be another Ritchie, those dolce tones in commentary will be missed. RIP Sir Ritchie.

Summer will never be the same again

Morning everybody. That’s good cricket. It is simply not the same without Richie. Golden age of commentary in England. Marvelous!

You are always alive in our hearts Richie Sir..

He was a great commentator and a true gentleman, respected by the cricket world at large.

So sad and sorry that we shall never hear his cricket commentary again. Watching a cricket match will never be quite the same, No one could ever comment on the game as well as Ritchie Benaud. Let’s hope somebody like him will emerge, To carry on where he left off. Ritchie Benaud loved the game and would have been appalled by last year’s Australian Cricket Team Scandal. Of course, as an Australian, he would support Australia but he always had praise for opponents, And was never afraid to criticize his own country. He regarded the game of cricket as bigger than any one country Or its players..

Miss you Richie.

First heard a cricket summary from him when I was 10 years old. Heard him the folowing year, and his cricket influence just grew on me year after year. A maestro. Thanks for the splendid memories Richie. God Bless. RIP.

A true gentleman and a great Australian.... from a pom

Along with Jim Laker, Richie Benaud's voice was the soundtrack to the summers of my youth. They both knew exactly when to speak and when to let the pictures do the talking. Something that many modern television commentators could learn from.

Splendid Richie

This guy gave me so many childhood memories. Rest in peace sir 🙏 Legend

The King of commentary. No one used such a few words to paint a perfect picture for viewers. RIP Sir Richie. Truly the Best ever.

Vale Richie. An amazing man.

I will miss him

Growing up in the 70s, I always looked forward to late evening and BBC 2 test cricket highlights presented by Richie ! 🏏

Icon, Legend, Great all rounder- "Thanks Richie, and to me and many, you have simply gently retired from this world- not out with a wicket haul xxx

On the 28th on January 2018 - I heard that Channel 9 still used Richie's voice on the Wide World of Sports ending - when I heard that I just paused in silence.

Every summer growing up was richie, tony, bill... benson and hedges one dayers... how i wish i could go back to 1985

Who does the piano and violin music??? Sleep peacefully richie greatest commentator of all time!!!!

Great servant of Cricket ❤️

The poet of cricket ✔️ RIP Richie sir

No word enough for Richi praise,, always his voice in our heart & mind

Will never forget listening to his commentary during B&H series during 90s. True gentleman even though he was an aussie.

He was the soundtrack to my young life watching test cricket with Geoffrey Boycott Tony Lewis and Raymond Illingworth et al. The greatest commentator I've ever heard and by all accounts an absolute gentleman. If i could go back in time and meet anybody and have lunch with them, it would be Richie. I miss his voice so badly.

THIS presentation also - as Benaud Sir would say... "Marvellous" 👌👌👍

Legend the voice of cricket

as a pakistani cricket lover i must say true legend

He knew his job inside out and did it so well. He was admired in his time and is remembered after it. What better way for a man to have lived his life. Carpe diem...seize the day For Time will take its pleasure And what is passing on its way Will be tomorrow's treasure!

Super effort that, marvellous innings 🇦🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

For Cricket commentaries Richie Benaud is a hard act to follow he and Bill Lawry,Tony Greig,Ian Chappell were a great team, Kerry Packer Certainly got it right when ch9 had the rights to coverage of Cricket in Australia,I still watch the game but I don't have as much love for the game since they have sweepted the Out old team and changed channels but if they only did it gradually I think it would be as successful as it once was but 5 years on I miss Richie Benaud.

Tears seeing this

He was a Cricket Legend. Period

Just a different era of Australian. So sadly missed sir

Cricket will never never be the same without him. Richie, we will miss you forever. C 'mon back if you can, plz!!!

Cricket hasn't been the same for me without richie. Still miss him so much

What a Man…

A brilliant soothing voice of cricket. Sadly missed.

There's a lot been said about aussies and some of it not complimentary however this bloke was the fairest and most unbiased I've heard and legend doesn't do him justice... A top bloke I wish I could have shaken his hand

What struck me about Richie were his qualities as a human being and it serves as a lesson to everyone that no matter how famous or skilled you are, what people will be most touched by are those human qualities. In Richie's case, calmness, modesty and gentlemanliness stood out. When he looked me in the eye as a young spectator at the Wanderers stadium in 1976, it left a lasting impression that here is a man who can relate to anyone.

Never be the same without him thats for sure....

Miss u

Long live Richie thru his voice.

R.I.P of course but what a glorious life he had!!

80 90 boys emotional 😭😭😭 Legand

The doyenne. Simply marvellous

He was the best. RIP.

RIP sir 🙏

Namaskar n rip to sir richie n he was very rich in the art of commentary its great loss sorry

A class act....

I wonder what he would say about the today's cricket? God i miss him.

What an awesome bloke

Rest in peace Sir

A legend

Richie was so beloved the BBC made a Richie app before apps were even a thing!

Missing Richie Benaud so much.

Riechie & 12th Man classic 👌

He was the voice of summer.

It's Xmas 2021, Australia host the Ashes series, miss Richie as much as ever.

Watching on Richie day

Marvellous

NEVER LOST A SERIES AS AUSTRALIAN CAPTAIN never forget that

"Into the ice-cream van..and out again!"

Gee. where does time go.. :( Cricket certainly isnt the same ...

He should have been knighted, but he was too humble for that.

Cricket legend voice died forever

8 years later and I still miss his voice, same as Tony Greig. Cricket just isn't the same anymore without those channel 9 commentators.

the BEST

I still love to watch how long Gatting stayed at the crease after Shane bowled him. It looks like he suspects the keeper did something..

“He made it a game you’d love to try and understand “ lol..
