Richie took over as "The Voice of Cricket" when my all time favourite cricket commentator, Alan McGilvray, retired in 1986.

R.I.P. Richie

For us "Northeners" he took over from EW Swanton!

Great man and fine company!

RIP

I first heard his voice in the Brian Lara Cricket game.

And from then onwards I always admired him as a commentator. He focused more on the game than on the bickering between commentators.

RIP Richie.
