THIS is the baggy green cap that was to be delivered to cricket legend Richie Benaud just days before he passed away.

The great man's original Test cap — presented in 1952 — went missing or was misplaced more than 30 years ago. In a beautiful gesture, Cricket Australia planned to present Richie with a replacement baggy green, numbered 190, at last month's Australia-India World Cup semi-final at the SCG.

It was on that day he took a turn for the worse and was too ill to attend the game. Cricket Australia had been dealing with Benaud's family through Channel Nine's director of sport Steve Crawley, who was to cover the cap presentation for the network during the game. "Richie didn't know but we told Daphne and it was going to be a surprise," Crawley said.

"Sadly, he couldn't make it to the game.

"Then yesterday (Thursday), this package arrives at Channel Nine and it was his baggy green the day before he died.

"Daphne is quite moved by it and we're going to give it to her at an appropriate time."

In his later years, Benaud could not recall what happened to his original cap or the blazer he wore as Australia's captain.
