What seeps through the pages is Benaud's passion for the game, his open-mindedness and his eye for a story. He has become a cricket institution.
His timing is magical, his phrasing simple and his choice of what and when, quite brilliant... his heart beats upon our summer game and frequently acts as its conscience.
It's his insight, loyalty, generosity and quick wit that has kept him at the very top.
