As Australia prepare to do battle against South Africa, Richie Benaud celebrates the golden anniversary of his appointment to the Australia captaincy against Peter May's English in 1958-59. The Australian has the full story.
All Benaud's minions are pretty well retired given they have long been entitled to a seniors card. But not the skipper, who is three months into his 79th year and with a little more than a year of his Channel Nine contract to run.
