Test Cricket Success Or Failure Depends

On Richie Benaud

By RICHARD BERRY

Richie Benaud, the new Australian cricket captain, is generally recognised as the greatest all-rounder in the game today. He is a brilliant close-in fielder, an extremely accurate log- spin and googly bowler, a devastatingly aggressive batsman. But it was not until the 1957-58 tour of South Africa that this 28-year-old veteran of 32 Tests really established his claims to his country's captaincy. Then he proved himself an admirable strategist and tactician-in-chief to his skipper lan Craig.
