Vale Richard 'Richie' Benaud OBE - the first captain of Australia to understand that what happens 'off the field' can largely dictate what happens on the field, and ensured that the team had a very good 'off field' innings.

He was only awarded an OBE in 1962, and the Australian Sports Medal in 2000.

I'm amazed he wasnt awarded an Order of Australia award, as were the Waugh Bros, Taylor etc etc
