Another old boy from my old school, Parramatta High.

My father played cricket with him as a boy.

I guess today is the day he finds out.

[Allan_L (Allan)]

He will be sadly missed by more than just the cricketing world.

[UniPol]

Yep, he had a marvellous life and was a national treasure.

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.
