Benaud's comments show class.

Pre-Packer, Benaud said, "players were paid peanuts and were treated with minimal respect if they asked for more. Tony felt strongly that there should be a fair day's pay for a fair day's work. If I had to choose one word to sum him up, it would be 'strong'. If two, it would be 'very strong'. " He concluded on the occasion by saying, "there is sadness but his advice would have been, 'just get on with it', so that is what we shall do."
