 Disappointing January 11, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Richie Benaud is rightly respected as a great commentator on the game, but this book does not do him justice. It is rambling, repititive and needs a good edit.

Whatever your affection for Richie Benaud and his undoubted contribution to cricket as a player and a wise commentator it is difficult not to be disappointed by this book which ultimately left me feeling like the victim of a 'cashing-in' exercise by Richie and his publishers. The book is repetitive, poorly edited and unstructured. There is little new material here and no great insights. Good luck in your retirement Richie but this wasnot a great parting shot!

An absorbing, friendly, celebration of cricket. I purchased this book as a tangible way of saying thank you to Richie Benaud, for being my friend, companion and guide through forty years of cricket on T.V. The voice of summer, always there in the living room, always calm, wise and free of ego has now said goodbye to the U.K and next summer when I feel that something is missing I shall reach for this book and find much in its pages to comfort, amuse and inform.

I purchased a copy for myself and a copy for my father who always said to me when I was younger that Richie Benaud is a man who had something valuable to say. All my life Richie Benaud has been there when it comes to watching cricket. His countless pearls of wisdom over the years are without equal and this book contains more than enough to satisfy those who love the game of cricket. The chapter that looks at the Hansie Cronje affair will show that Richie Benaud can approach explosive subjects in a tactful manner but without going over the top. I personally found that whole affair distasteful and even wondered about all cricket matches after it came to the surface for a long time. It is good to know that ones like Richie Benaud have strong views on the matter and that the heart of cricket is solid and beyond reproach. I'm learning more about cricket all the time and with teachers like Richie Benaud helping me with my cricketing education I feel in good hands. If you love your cricket and the history of the game then this book will delight both you and those you bless with its many gems of wonder.
