Plot

A day in the life of Richie Benaud, the "captain" of the Channel 9 cricket commentary team. Resembling a game between Australia and Pakistan, this album includes Bruce Reid literally falling apart, Tony Greig and Bill Lawry hijacking the commentary box and Max Walker streaking and hijacking the commentary box. In fact, it gets so bad for Richie that he has to leave early.

The album also contains the number one single, "Marvellous!".

gollark: Not even FPGA-based CPU things meet your criteria because FPGAs are mostly proprietary and sometimes get reverse engineered.
gollark: I don't spend that much on laptops.
gollark: What laptops are you *buying*?
