A true great. I was lucky enough to see him play and later enjoy his authorative and knowlegible commentaries. Compared to today's bickering commentators he was a giant. Will be sorely missed by all nationalities. RIP Richie.
Yes he was one of the greats in cricket may he rest in peace!.

I remember one commentary where he suggested that the fielding team should move a player round to third man as that's where the batsman looks like was looking to score. Immediately, a fielder was moved to third man. Richie remained silent. Next ball, the batsman was caught . . . At third man. Richies next words, without an ounce of complacency, he said "just like that". He was and always will be the best.
