Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko tētahi o ngā āhuatanga iti iho i whakanuihia o Richie Benaud's mahi nui ko ona putanga auau i roto i taua wahi o te pouaka press e whare nga kairipoata tuhituhia. Ko Benaud te mea tuatahi me te mea nui ko te kaiwhakaputa pouaka whakaata, he tangata he tino whakahianga te tangata i whakautu i runga i te rangi ki te hoa mahi a Chris Broad's malapropism (<unk> Honestly, ka pau i a koe nga kupu kino i te wa e whakaahua ana i te waahi o Jonty Rhodes<unk>) me te kore e peke: <unk> Ko tehea te mea i a koe i roto i to hinengaro?<unk> Engari i tuhia hoki e Benaud he pou auau mo te News of the World, e mau ana i tona waahi i waenga i nga hacks - kaore nga tangata pouaka whakaata katoa e raru - ki te mahi i tana kape i nga wa katoa e haere ana te tukinga Whakamatau. Ko Richie Benaud, i whakaahuahia i te marama o Hanuere 2013, kua mate i te 84 o ona tau i muri i te pakanga ki te mate pukupuku kiri. Ko Benaud tētahi o ngā tangata nui o te kirikiti, ā, ka maumahara mō tōna mōhiotanga me tōna mōhiotanga. Ka kitea ngā mihi ki te whakapakoko o Benaud i te Sydney Cricket Ground i muri i tana matenga. I kīia e ia ka tuhi ia i ngā kupu 700, 800, ā, tērā pea 150 rānei, 200 pea o aua kupu ka kitea e te ao. Engari, he tohunga i roto i tona ngakau, ka haere tonu a Benaud ki te whakariterite. I aroha ia ki te kirikiti, ā, i aroha ia ki te whakaatu i tōna aroha, mā ngā huarahi tirohanga, mā ngā kupu rānei. I kitea tēnei i ōna rā tākaro. I wikitoria ia i nga kapu Whakamatau 63 i waenga i te Hanuere 1952 me te Hui-tanguru 1964, i kohi 248 wiki me tana waewae-hurihuri (i te toharite tino pai o 27) me te eke 2,201 i te 24. Engari ko te kāhua te mea nui atu i ngā tatauranga. Ko te nuinga o te wa i whakaitihia, i whakaatuhia e Jim Laker's te kore e whakaae ki te whakanui i tetahi o nga 19 wickets i tangohia e ia ki Ahitereiria i Old Trafford i te tau 1956 (Benaud c Statham b Laker 0; Benaud b Laker 18). I whakapau kaha a Benaud ki te huri i aua mea katoa. He ngahau te hākinakina, he āwangawanga, he tangata hoki: mēnā ka whiwhi ia i tētahi whiwhinga, he nui ake i te tāpiri i ōna kākahu, i te kāhua Laker. Ka tangi, ka peke, ka peke: tirohia ia i runga i a YouTube e koa ana ki te hopu hopu a Bob Simpson i Old Trafford i te tau 1961, i te wa i pakaru ai ona waewae i a Ahitereiria ki te wikitoria mai i muri. I ēnei rā, he nui ake te mahi a ngā kaitākaro. Engari...
Kua mate a Richie Benaud i te 84 o ona tau i muri i tana pakanga poto ki te mate pukupuku kiri. Ko Benaud te rangatira o Ahitereiria i a ia e tākaro ana i mua i tana haerenga ki te whakawhitiwhiti korero. Ko tana momo kōrero i noho hei tohu mō te kirikiti puta noa i te ao. Patohia ki konei mō ngā mihi a Benaud i te wā e tangi ana te ao kirikiti i tōna matenga.
