Condolences to the Benaud family. Both parents have had a tremandous influence on Richie's career and life. Top parents in many ways from what I've heard and read about. Although this is more of a time for celebration of a wonderful innings. Richie took the passing of his father with good celebration and humour as well. Just a cracking family in general

That's really sad news. Condolences to the Benaud's. That's a very good innings on her part.
I wonder how Richie will take it.

Longevity. Wow.
Let's hope Richie's genetics mean he'll be commentating for another one or two decades.
Sympathy to the Benaud family.
RIP Mrs. Benuad
Condolences to the Benaud family.
