Famous quotes by Richie Benaud:

"He's usually a good puller - but he couldn't get it up that time."

"The hallmark of a great captain is the ability to win the toss, at the right time."

"He would have been keen about the crowd here today - a packed house. Kerry was a great character, a really great character, so my life would have been less interesting without having known him all those years."

"I keep reading it is too long a summer but we keep having sell-outs at the matches. I think it would be crazy to pay too much attention to suggestions we need to shorten the summer."

"Cricket has changed for the better ... it's because of what happened then, cricket is so strong now."

"We first met during the formation of World Series cricket. There was never anything mundane or orthodox about him. At the meeting I had with him, the thing that struck me most was that he was concerned only with the players. It was his job to put (the poor state of cricket) right, and put it right he did. He was absolutely brilliant."

"I've been picking around with the game now for some time, but I've never seen anything like this -"

"The slow-motion replay doesn't show how fast the ball was really travelling."

"He looked at me for a long time and just turned and said 'Thanks', though whether that's 'Thanks, but no thanks' or 'Thanks, thanks', I don't know."

"Captaincy is 90 per cent luck and 10 per cent skill. But don't try it without that 10 per cent."

"But I think the only thing that annoys me about that is if I suddenly find someone on commercial radio or something like that, mimicking my voice or actions and trying to promote a product and pretending it's me doing it."

"A cricket ground is a flat piece of earth with some buildings around it."

"In fact, as a spin bowler, you have to work on the batsman over after over."

"My mantra is: put your brain into gear and if you can add to what's on the screen then do it, otherwise shut up."

"From our broadcasting box you can't see any grass at all. It is simply a carpet of humanity."

"I know it's more five-star now than it was then, but it's still a difficult tour. In the same way as India and Pakistan players find it difficult coming to Australia. People sometimes have difficulty believing that."
