Richie Benaud, the former Australia captain and iconic cricket commentator, has died aged 84. A pioneering leg-spin bowler, Benaud played in 63 Tests, 28 as captain, before retiring in 1964 to pursue a career in journalism and broadcasting. His final commentary in England was at the 2005 Ashes series but he continued to work in Australia until 2013.

In this edition of Extra Time, recorded in September 2005, the veteran commentator speaks to Rob Bonnet about the Ashes and his career in cricket.
