A Thread Full Of Richie Benaud's

[Gary Nelson]

A legend.
If anyone hasnt ever listend to the 12th man cd get it, possibley the funniest thing I have ever heard. Coupled with that the best bit I ever heard was the late Brian Johnstone commentating with Johnathon Agew for England V West Indies when I think Botham walked over his stumps. Agers said something and Johnstone was uncontrallably laughing for about 5 minutes live on air. Quality stuff.

"The Pakistanis rallied after the fall of Idrivz Fastcaz with a stand of niney-tew, Hiza Hazbeen and Heneva Waz pretty quick between the wickets that pair..."

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Don't forget Micarzabit Rusty and Cutis Arminarth, followed by Mohammed Azzabiggun.

 

[Jambo Seagull]

"put him down!"

 

[tedebear]

"Welcome back to the MCG for the first time today..."

 

[Publius Ovidius]

"This is Tony Grieg returning you to the central missionary position"

" Its the f***ing central commentary position....."

The best one in the 12th man series was where Bill Lawrie "lost it" when Merve Hughes was Knocking over the Sri lankans......." He's got him, yeah f*** off you little shits...Merve merve Merve, get him up here, i want to whup him....He's a Victorian and so am I ts great day for Victoria, Australia, The World......."

The bit that really caught me was about 4 minutes into the first tape, Richie is at home having breakfast at home and the toast pops out of the toaster. Mrs Benaud syas to him 'Hows that' and he shouts back 'NOT OUT'!
He chuckles and says 'sorry darling, just warming up for todays game'

That cracks me up everytime I hear it.
'he just couldn't quite get his leg over'
'Oh aggers stop it'

The Wild World of Sports....on the original 12th man CD's

Tow Aussie commentators on an Aussie Football game

"Laird has been brought in to stand in the corner of the circle." - Richie Benaud (Channel 9)

 

[Kugull]

The man is a true legend. Furthermore he has not had a winter for over 30 years. Lucky sod.

"Rubbish Binny left out last night by the selctors..."

 

[The Large One]

Streaker runs on to the pitch at Headingly and Rodney Marsh (the Aussie wicketkeeper - not the ex Man City, QPR prima donna), not too chuffed at the interruption, chases him and clatters him to the ground.

Benaud: And that's Marshy's first catch of the day.
