    One of the voices of my childhood watching Test Cricket on the BBC and listening to the Oracle of Cricket.

    Richie Benaud a commentator genius sadly passed away earlier today.

    I remember him commentating on so many great Tests including "Botham's Ashes".

    Another great has been lost.

    That is a sad loss, like you have grown up with two things that I associate with test cricket; the theme tune too BBC coverage and Richie with his totally unbiased commentary.

    RIP Richie Benaud

    Richie Benaud and the long departed Jim Laker... They were like Ham & Eggs!
