Richie Benaud will be one of the first inductees into New South Wales’ Hall of Fame, but he tells the Daily Telegraph he would be 12th man if the dozen selected ever played in the same team. Don Bradman, Victor Trumper and Steve Waugh will also be honoured.
"When this side was first announced back in January, I recalled seeing Bill O'Reilly listed at No. 12 on the list,” Benaud said. "And had that been the case [in a match], I can assure you I would have been on the end of a blasting from Tiger O'Reilly."
