Cricket fans around the world are mourning the loss of Richie Benaud, who passed away Friday following a battle with skin cancer. Benaud is one of the most respected figures in the history of the sport, first as a player for Australia, then as an accomplished commentator. He was a man adored by multiple generations for his class and skill, and has left a high standard for both today’s players and broadcasters. In 2005, while commentating on the 5th Test in the famous Ashes series between England & Australia, Benaud discussed his history in journalism. (The conversation with Mark Nicholas starts at 3:44.)

It’s only fitting that Benaud’s last broadcast on English television would come on the final day of that 2005 series, when England won the Ashes against their bitter rivals for the first time since 1987. Here’s his final commentary spell from that 5th Test at the Oval in London.

Benaud was a man not afraid to speak his mind, even if that meant criticizing his fellow countrymen, as he did following Trevor Chappell’s infamous underarm delivery that prevented New Zealand from winning a one-day match against Australia…

Many of the sport’s recognizable figures have already taken to Twitter to pay their respects.

Rest in peace, Richie. You will be missed.
