A bit of trivia
I daresay that I am probably one of the few (if any) members of this board that actually seen Richie Benaud play Test cricket. I was all of 9 years of age when my uncle took me to the third days play of the 3rd Test of the Ashes series in January 1962 at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
I can't remember much other than we were sitting in the stand at the Randwick (southern end). I remember Barry Shepherd's 71no and Alan Davidson taking lots of wickets.
Thanks to the wonders of the internet, it is all here.
Scorecard Sydney Test 1962
Interesting to see the slow over and scoring rates of those days compared to now. Admittedly it was 8 ball overs but it has been calculated to 6 ball over equivalence. Not to mention the then standard rest day. Much more civilised
Vale Richie Benaud
