Very sad news this morning.

Richie touched and entertained many people firstly as a great cricketer and then in his sporting afterlife as arguably the best cricket commentator in the world.

By all reports I have ever seen he was a thorough gentleman and a great example for any person to aspire to.

Our lack of knowledge and understanding of what the sun can do to us was his undoing and recently he was doing advertising warning of the dangers of that.

I'm glad for him and his family and friends that he went peacefully in his sleep.

RIP Richie.
