Former Australia captain and legendary cricket commentator Richie Benaud has died at the age of 84.
A pioneering leg-spin bowler, Benaud played in 63 Tests, 28 as captain, before retiring in 1964 to pursue a career in journalism and broadcasting.
His final commentary in England came during the 2005 Ashes series but he continued to work for Channel Nine in Australia until 2013.
In November, he revealed he was being treated for skin cancer.

Am a big fan of Cricket.
Was a great Australian Sportsman and Ambassador for the game.
May he rest in peace

"Pretty fuckin' close to it ..." that's awesome.

Our older sports commentators were just racists ...
