Lou Benaud - The Teacher - Parramatta District Cricket Club

Louis Richard Benaud was born at Coraki, Northern NSW on 28th February 1904 and died at North Parramatta on the 8th of January 1994.

Lou achieved the persona of a cricketing sage within the Central Cumberland club. Quiet and gentlemanly, he deeply cared about the ethics and traditions of the game he loved and endeavoured to play and coach with the ‘Spirit of cricket’ in mind. His knowledge and philosophies on the game are probably best illustrated by the way they contributed to the development of his sons Richie and John - both dynamic attacking cricketers – both representing Australia in Test cricket.
