Richie's rich wit
Commentary during the 1st Test between Australia and Sri Lanka at Brisbane, a week or so earlier (paraphrased):Richie Benaud: It was here that Jonty Rhodes made his spectacular run-out in the 1992 World Cup, diving into the stumps. I think it was against Pakistan.The great man was joking, of course. It was a photographer's delight, as is obvious. (A report of the incident).Ian Chappell: I think it was Imran that he ran out.
Ian Healy: Um, it may have been Inzamam.
Richie: In that case, it may not have been that spectacular.

Hilarious...
Watching cricket played in Australia and listening to the Aussie commentators is a treat.
It was not only a photographers delight it was spectacular on television.
An amazing feet of athleticism.
Richie's deadpan wit is amusing to the extreme.
Test between Australia and Sri Lanka!!
If he was watching at the other end,Imran would have probably beaten Jonty to the stumps:-)
Imran Khan was run out (by Miandad) in the match against India. What happened Ian Chappel's memory cells. They were pretty good at sometime.
Probably he is dwelling too much upon Sreesanth's mouthing.
harish: horrendous typo #2 fixed
Brilliant pic.....and a brilliant piece of fielding.. :)
