Soo koob maqaalka:  Waxaa xalay si sharaf leh loogu maamuusay halyeeyga cricketka Richie Benaud, kadib geeridiisa 84 jirka ah ee kansarka maqaarka. Ciyaartii Lord's, calankii MCC ayaa hoos loo dhigay, dowladda Australia waxay u fidisay aas qaran ninkan oo aan waligiis lumin taxane tijaabo ah oo uu ahaa kabtanka dalkiisa, ka dibna wuxuu noqday faallo. David Cameron ayaa sheegay in uu "ku koray dhageysiga faallooyinka cricketka ee Richie Benaud", halka dhiggiisa Australia Tony Abbott uu ugu yeeray "maalin murugo leh Australia". Markii uu ciyaartoy ahaan ka fariistay 1964, Benaud's falanqayntiisa xirfadeed ayaa si caalami ah loo ixtiraamay. Halkan, waxaan ku soo bandhigeynaa abaalmarin uu bixiyay qoraaga isboortiga ee cajiibka ah ee Mail's IAN WOOLDRIDGE oo uu qoray 2005 ka dib markii daboolka tooska ah ee cricket-ka caalamiga ah ee England uu ka beddelay TV-ga dhulka ilaa dayax-gacmeedka, isagoo ka reebaya taageerayaasha cricket-ka codka Benaud... Richie Benaud oo ku jira sanduuqa faallooyinka ee Oval-ka imtixaanka ugu dambeeya ee Ashes 2005. Kadib taageerayaasha cricket-ka caalamiga ah ee England ayaa lumiyay xariifnimadiisa markii ciyaarta tooska ah laga beddelay TV-ga dhulka ilaa dayax gacmeedka. Waxaa Dhab u Wacan kan ku Hadli Hadalka (Nabiga) si Quruxsan. Richie Benaud kuma soo laaban doono England xagaaga soo socda si uu u sii wado sharaftiisa sida sharaxaha ugu fiican ee cricket. Kaasi ma aha waxaan dalabkayga ahayn. Ra'yi ururin dhowaan lagu sameeyay majaladda Wisden Cricketer ayaa soo jiidatay codadka cajiibka ah ee 12,000. 10,128 ka mid ah waxay ku tilmaameen Benaud inuu yahay kan ugu fiican. Nasiib wanaagse, isagu nagama tago isagoo aan ku dhihin ama ka badan talooyin kuwa doonaya inay ku daydaan guushiisa, gaar ahaan ciyaartoydii howlgabka ahaa ee wakiiladoodu u arkaan inay si dhakhso leh ugu qalabaysan yihiin inay soo qaadaan makarafoonka oo ay nagu xanaajiyaan qulqulka Tower of Babel. waxa uuna ku sameeyaa buug fariin ah kaas oo ah digniin fariin ah oo xigmad ah Magacyo ma uusan sheegin. Aad buu u edeb badanyahay. Sidoo kale ma jirto wax muujinaya dareenka xun ee mararka qaar ku dhaca dadka muslimiinta ah ee da'da ah ee hawlgabka ah. 74 sano jirka Benaud wali waa mid aad u taam ah, natiijada qaab nololeedkiisa sida lagu qiyaaso faallooyinkiisa. Haa, waxaa jira waqtiyo dhif ah oo uu timaha iska daayo...
