Richie Benaud was to cricket commentary , what Bill Mclaren was to rugby union commentating an unmistakable voice and unsurpassed knowledge of the game .

So very sad, however, the great man is no longer suffering. May he continue to rest peacefully, and continue to bring marvellous to his next chapter!

Yeah its...I couldnt imagine Rugby League commentary without Ray Warren.

Even though I dont watch much cricket, he is the voice of the game.

Knowing who Richie is should be part of the citizenship test.

From the SCG, it's goodbye for now. RIP.

Sad day for cricket and sport in general. Nice to hear he passed peacefully.
