A Legend in the truest sense of the world.......... may he Rest Well.
Very sad indeed, by all accounts one of natures true gentlemen,a veteran of 63 test between 1952-64, ave of 24.45 with the bat and took 248 test wickets for an ave of 27.03.As captain of Australia he never lost a series, as captain of the channel nine commentary team he was loved and respected by all his peers and the viewing public. RIP Richie.:(
