    RIP Richie, never saw your cricket exploits on the field, but what you did off the field in the commentary box was just as good.

    Utmost respect for a true gentleman from this side of the world.

    I always liked listening to his ,honest,non biased views and opinions.

    May you find peace Richie.
    It is now official, we are not quite so sh@t at cricket as we were! Rugby Union is a different matter.

    Ritchie's commentary made a cricket match a joy to watch. RiP.
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.
