Sad news. What a tremendous loss to cricket. In 44 years, I've never known the game without him.
What a uniquely gifted commentator, remarkable all-rounder and successful Aussie captain.
And a modest, decent, well-loved man the world over. He'll be very much missed.
Goodbye Richie. Thanks for all the super stuff you've done.
Marvellous.
