The sound of silence - To The Guardian - For me, Richie Benaud was the doyen of all commentators, particularly because he understood the value of silence. Today’s commentators, in all sports, prattle endlessly, inanely and irritatingly about all sorts of trivia and irrelevant historical allusions. Richie knew when to let the game do the talking and his sparing comments were finely tuned to illuminate the events on the field.
