Richie Benaud

Benaud led Australia from 1958 with attacking intent: he set close catchers for his leg-spin, chased results on the final day and was willing to risk defeat for a win. The tied Test against the West Indies at Brisbane in 1960, played in that spirit with Frank Worrell, helped revive interest in Test cricket. His style is the counterpoint to the safety-first captaincy of the 1950s.
