Meet the Richies

As legendary Australia captain and commentator Richaie Benaud is honoured on a new 50 cent coin, we speak to the fan group who pay tribute to him at matches.

The Richies dress up in Benaud's iconic cream suits, wear wigs and carry microphones to show their affection for the man who died in 2015 at the age of 84.

Richies co-founder Michael Hennessy tells Alison Mitchell how the group started, and their ambitious plan for an Ashes tour to England.
