Another loss to the cricket family on 11:25 - Jan 1 with 2715 views | DWQPR | INdeed, a great voice on TMS and a voice that I grew up with listening to along with Jonners, Arlott, Trueman, Bailey and Blowers, a formidable bunch of lunatics on the radio if ever there was one, just Blowers remains of that band of men. RIP CMJ | |

Blowers is not in the same category as them. Shame about CMJ, but the best one is still with us - Jonathan Agnew. Aggers is brilliant, I have seen him in action interviewing Test Captains and making them corpse. The way he takes the piss out of Boycott by making it sound like he is paying Sir Geoffrey a compliment is world class. I'm counting the days to the cricket season, amazingly a sport still well run in comparison to football. | |

Yes agree he was a legend. Blowers last of the old school left. I remember listening to TMS at school on my transistor radio in the late 70's early 80's particularily the tests against the awesome windies team of that era. Also could watch all day on the beeb with sound down and radio on. Happy days. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

| I know almost nothing about the Premier League even though I try to catch the big games every now and then at the end of the season. But I will say this, Queens Park Rangers is just a fukking sick ass team name. Just sounds so cool. |

He didn't seem old to me, but I can't remember listening to cricket on the radio and him not being there, over 40 years. One from the days when you didn't have to have played 50 tests to be allowed near a microphone, a fantastic broadcaster, in the class of Arlott and my particular favourite, Don Mosey. | | | |
Another loss to the cricket family on 17:14 - Jan 1 with 2531 views | CamberleyR | Yep, probably one of the last great journalist/commentators. Will always fondly remember his commentating at Headingley '81, one of his occasional forays into telly, especially the wicket of Marsh "In the air, Dilley's underneath it...and he's caught it!!" trying desperately not to shout "yesss" and contain his enthusiasm. Great journalist as well. | |
