John Benaud – A Swashbuckler at the Crease

John Benaud was born at Auburn, NSW on 11th April 1944, and it was probably preordained that he would grow up to become a cricket player of significance.

At his cricketing peak John was a tall right-hander who batted in a swashbuckling, easy-on-the-eye mode and was a handy medium-paced bowler (after abandoning his boyhood preference for leg-spin).
