Richie was the sound of summer Gawd I miss the days of Benaud, Greig and Lawry. I’m so glad I grew up listening to those legends.Summer will never be quite the same for me
Richie was the commentator i most learnt from on tv when a boy in the mid 70's in the UK. He explained the rules, tactics and strategies. Thank you sir.
I grew up listening to his cricket commentary. Always full of life and humour in his commentary that made me stuck to tv. The greatest commentator who ever lived.
In my opinion, Richie and Mike Atherton were the best commentating duo on televised matches (Channel 4) here in the UK. Richie was a Cricketer, Gentleman and a credit to Australia.
Richie Benaud, Bill Lawry, Mark Nicholas, Tony Greg, Ian Healy, Michael Slater are my favorite commentators. Just Love Aussie Summer Season of CHANNEL 9
Never seen this before and its sad viewing. He does indeed look like he's had a rough year. His brilliant commentary was very much part of the summer growing up in the UK - much missed but happy memories. RIP.
I loved Richie. He was thee voice of cricket for me growing up. If a test match was on telly Richie's voice was there and he helped me fall in love with the sport.
I grew up listening to Richie during the summer and there was something about his soothing voice…it made me appreciate cricket more so but it cemented the love i have for the game…
What a beautiful man he was! Richie benaud and Ian Chappell are my all time fav commentators. The world is not the same without Richie Benaud and Shane Warne 😢.
For me Richie was the voice of cricket When he spoke you listened he knew when to talk and when not to talk . He always had the right word for the right occasion. You knew summer had arrived when you heard his dulcid tones. I think cricket fans all over the world loved his commentaries
Richie talked like the great Urdu poet, Mir Taqi Mir. His 'rough-ish' comment is basically adapted from one of the Mir's couplet's words; 'pakhiri ghulab si' and it's still one of the most bamboozling lines for the critics of Urdu literature to date as Mir is not likening his lover's lips to rose petals exactly instead he's likening it to something which is like rose petals. This 'si' of Mir is a remarkable stroke of genius.
Yep, Mark oversaw and commentated when Cricket was last on terrestrial TV (Channel 4) in the UK. Ritchie and Mark were awesome doing the end of session and stumps summaries. Sadly missed son of Australia.
We all loved this man as a commentator, but his contribution to Aussie cricket- the aggressive style of play - was immense. And a lovely bloke into the bargain.
Adam Thrussell@ Richie Benaud a great voice on Channel 9 broadcoast of the cricket . Take notice of Richie Benaud advice wear a hat and put on Cancer Council 50 plus sunscreen. Big M Marathon 1981 Frankston to Melbourne Town Hall
Adam Thrussell@ Richie Benaud the authoritative well projected voice of Channel 9 broadcast of the cricket. Big M Marathon 1981 Frankston to Melbourne Town Hall. Stay healthy and in love
Couldn't get his spirit though, amazing him to see him talk about it like he would about any of his cricket stories. True professional, right till the end.
Look at today's commentary - Skull is the only decent one we have now. Warnie is good, but none of the others are any good now. RIP Richie, and RIP Tony...
Even while he was ill, he spoke with such fluency and beauty, RIP
Richie was the sound of summer

So tragic seeing Richie look so sick.
But love how his voice and positivity never changed.

A sad sight to see, as it is with anyone who is suffering with cancer. Richie Benaud was one of the best commentators ever, if not the best!
Get well soon Richie, such an iconic part of cricket coverage on TV.

Absolute legend and inspiration. Thank you Richie.
I was enormously fortunate to have met and talked with him. He was as utterly engaging and charming as you'd expect him to have been. Lovely man.
In a class of his own.miss you captain
his voice ruled in a few early versions of computer based cricket games by EA .. those were the first games i played on computer and so unforgettable.
Beautiful human. Deserved to live to a ripe old age. Earth was lucky to have him.
Voice of cricket love him always from india
What a Legend. what gentelman. Today commentators cant reach his class ever. Classy Man.
Legend gets thrown around too much.. He is an immortal.. Voice of my childhood
It’s really tough to see him like that.
Never seen this before and its sad viewing. He does indeed look like he's had a rough year.
His brilliant commentary was very much part of the summer growing up in the UK - much missed but happy memories. RIP.
He really doesn't look in a good way, poor Richie.
Agreed, he looks very weak. I hope he beats this, the whole Australian cricketing community is behind him.
Legend2791 a great man and a greater human being rip gone but never forgotton
Sorry I’m three years late to this but RB, along with Arlo, were my summers. Thanks for the memories guys xx

We're all headed that way but growing old sure does suck!
What is the name of the person who's interviewing Richie at the beginning of the video ? I just love his voice and commentary.
Mark Nicholas - he’s awesome at commentating isn’t he!?
Yep, Mark oversaw and commentated when Cricket was last on terrestrial TV (Channel 4) in the UK. Ritchie and Mark were awesome doing the end of session and stumps summaries.
Sadly missed son of Australia.

The greatest commentator of all time in any sport
I miss Richie more and more with every passing year
Chew for chwenty chew
The voice of cricket for me as a child in the 1980's.
Get well soon Richie. Hope the skin cancer was diagnosed at an early stage to give the best prognosis possible.
If he was on telly reading the telephone directory I and I'm sure many others would watch it and hang on to his every word.
We all loved this man as a commentator, but his contribution to Aussie cricket- the aggressive style of play - was immense. And a lovely bloke into the bargain.
Best commentator of all time
He is still a comentater we don't hear it but he still is r.i.p richy
The greatest two cricket commentators;
B Lawry & T Cozier, both fair and 'unbiased'. Unlike some!
Can anyone tell me the names of all legends present in frame. At 1:00
What great team of commentators channel 9 had not so long ago.. Now is not the case
Hero.
