“There will never be another Richie Benaud – it’s as simple as that.”
So says David Lloyd as the tributes continue to pour in for Richie Benaud, who has died in Sydney at the age of 84 after battling skin cancer.
On this edition of the Sky Cricket podcast, Bumble reflects on Benaud the cricketer, captain and broadcaster and is joined by fellow Sky Cricket pundits Shane Warne, Ian Botham and Nasser Hussain to celebrate a man who transcended the game.
