Brilliant Beneau 500 not out
Reading Frank Keating in today's Guardian, he quotes the great Richie Benaud's description of his commentating philosophy as: "Engage your brain before opening your mouth; never say 'we' if referring to a team; concentrate fiercely; and try to avoid: 'Of course'. . . 'As you can see on the screen'. . . 'You know'. . . 'I tell you what'. . . and 'Tragedy'. . . and 'Disaster'. . . The Titanic was a tragedy, an African famine is a disaster; neither bears any relation to a dropped catch."

Explains why he's been involved in 500 test matches in some way or another. Frank Keating also pointed at out that that's almost one third of all test matches ever played. Bloody hell.
