Well this was a shock. Very sad to hear this. The voice of a thousand summers, I never remember hearing him say an unkind word.

Arrived home from work last night to learn of this on the news

Cricket has lost one of its greatest sons, a man I had the pleasure of meeting personally on numerous occasions over the years.

A great innings Richie.

But a state funeral, I do not think so.
