BBQ at Richie Benaud's house?

Channel Nine cricket legend Richie Benaud is apparently having a BBQ at his house on Australia day, but despite a long invite list there will be no "12th Man"

Rest In Peace, Richie Benaud. Marvellous innings mate.

A great man in more ways then one. The iconic Ritchie Benaud. You gave so much of your wonderful life to cricket and never had anything bad to say about any person. Head off to that great cricket oval and say "Hi" to Tony Greig if you see him.  R.I.P

Welcome back to BBQ, well wasn't that just a really super preheat of the grill and hotplate that we all just witnessed during that session. The piezo, following a jittery first couple of clicks, really did knuckle down and explosively ignited on that third delivery from the right hand quick index finger.

From there the gas was simply on fire and unbeatable. And boy, wasn't it a flowing and fluid display, one for the ages really. It provided marvelous support to the cooking elements, all who where red hot and simply never looked like going out once they reached degress 222. Whilst there's still some time to go at this BBQ, I must say, so far, it's looking to be an inspired decision by the captain here, yours truly.

The beer and wine is ice cold, weather wise it's simply perfect conditions for the growth of skin cancers and most importantly the beaches are looking absolutely f**ng marvelous bathing and relaxing by the pool. And boy oh boy, haven't they been throwing Master Richie the good old, 'come here daddy and do as you please with me' look. We'll be back to the BBQ following this quick break.

good ad, the meat and livestock board will be happy. People will watch this all the way through, not like SO MANY ads the ou turn off as soon as you see them start.

R.I.P Richie Benaud. You will be greatly missed. No one will be as great of a commentator as you. :(

RIP Richie Benaud.  Billy Birmingham was right when he said that he was looking a bit thin for this ad, unfortunately I didn't see it until he pointed it out.  Great ad, though.

[SuperTed]

RIP Richie.

There won't be another.
