• born on 6 October 1930 at Penrith in New South Wales.
• My name is Richie Benaud and I represent ‘Nature’s gifts’ because I captained the Australian cricket team from 1958 to 1964. I was also the first test cricketer in the world to score over 2000 runs and take 200 wickets.

IDEA FOR SCENE: Richie Benaud is commentating a rather slow cricket match (you choose the two teams playing and make up the commentary). After a couple of minutes Smithy, Ginger and Felix enter. All the players and spectators freeze. Richie Benaud tries to keep the commentary going even though nothing is happening. Gradually he realises everyone has frozen and he ‘throws’ to a commercial break. Smithy, Ginger and Felix explain what has happened and take Richie back with them to help save Australia.
