The Very Best of Richie is the second compilation album released by The Twelfth Man and was released in November 2015. Billy Birmingham says The Very Best of Richie is a tribute to Richie Benaud "the greatest commentator of them all" who died in April 2015.[1]

The album peaked at number four on the ARIA Charts.

Dylan Marshall of The Music AU gave the album 7.5 out of 10 saying "It’s quite funny listening to the evolution of the Richie character. From the earliest material... it’s pretty obvious that the emphasis of The 12th Man’s material goes from being very match commentary-centric to then focusing on the interactions between the commentary team in later material" adding "All in all, The Very Best Of Richie truly is the very best: a classic catch."[2]
