Something weird and robotic about Richie on this vid - like some Invasion of the Body Snatchers business has gone on. But still, the man is a legend, and I'm delighted he's doing some commentary on the upcoming Ashes series.
When he completely retires they should just use soundbites of his commentary in place of that awful arse-kisser Michael Slater. It doesn't get any better than Benaud and Arlott.
@oitoitoi Bit rough on Slats! I actually don't mind him, I've always thought he's pretty insightful most of the time. Ian Healy is the shite commentator, babbles crap NON STOP.
"england faced plenty of problems here, not least their own first innings total of 242 - not very good that - and australia resuming on 63 for no wicket..."
that has to be some of the most brilliantly understated commentary ever.
Richie is Legend

Love the "Austin Powers" style shirt, what a legend Benaud is. And Australia's best leggie before Warne
