Just out of the world. BBC commentary is the best in the world. What voice, vocabulary, clarity, knowledge of the commentators, supreme. Nobody can compete with these great people. Fantastic old days! Sweet reminisce! 👍👌👋🌺🌹❣️🌷
this summer i was 15 and had left school having done my GCSE's, me and one of my 2 best mates played out this series in the backroom of my house using a mini autographed bat and a ping pong ball with thick tape wound round the middle to make a massive seam, you bowled and batted on your knees, allsorts of rules about knicking off to the radiator and stuff !! all i remember of the games we played was Alderman and big Merv took all the wickets and all the runs we scored were over mid wicket, my mate is now an International Umpire who learnt all he knows from me captaining him from 10 to 17 in our formative years lol xx, happy year was 89
I discovered cricket in the 1970’s listening to this fantastic programme with the wonderful commentators .As an Irish boy I spent the summer holidays in the back garden listening to TMS. I still listen avidly even though I have never been to a game of cricket but love the game.
TMS was sports broadcasting of the highest quality, part of what made it special was the cricketing knowledge these men possessed. All of these voices stuck with you and were instantly recognisable. Also worth Mentioning the wonderful Tony Cozier, and the producer Peter Baxter, who did the history of previous tours during some of the lunch intervals. Sadly now all of these men have left us, happy days remembered but alas never to be seen again.
Iam hearing with my father radio when iam primary and highschool.the match will start 3.30 evening for Indian time.we enjoyed bbc .i think those days of 1987.to 2000.i heard
I am from Ireland and never played or have seen a live game of cricket but developed a love of the game through listening to TMS. I used to love especially lying in bed on Dec 26 and listening to the Melbourne ashes test on a transistor while trying not to wake the rest of the family.These men will never be forgotten.
"My word" as Alan would say....wow, great you had him in your collection ! Will never forget his deep voice on Radio Australia, in the early hours in India !!
Marvellous, I just missed out on a lot of these guys but I did meet Jonners once when I was little. My main take away was never having seen eyebrows like that in my life.
Amazing to hear the name Whale Roberts mentioned. Whale was a professional Australian Rules Footballer in Melbourne who ran a pub in the city. An enormous man.
Brian Johnston, Christopher Martin Jenkins Henry Blofeld and Don Mosey with Bill Frindell doing the scoring. This is just superb. Thank you for posting. Great childhood memories albeit the 89 Ashes wasn't great for England and was the start of the Australian domination stretching to 2005.
Heard him many times, soon after completion of Binaca Geet Mala program on Radio Ceylon, during late seventies ... He used to present three songs on 25 M Band at 9 O'Clock every Wednesday through Radio Australia station ... His most favourite was DIL NE PUKARA song ... Dekha hai Sabhi Ne Chaa.nd ko ... You reminded me those wondeful days ... Thanks
Amazing upload, thank you. What a pleasure to hear CMJ, Jonners, Trevor Bailey, Fred Trueman, Blowers, Mike Selvey, and Don Mosey. Neville Oliver, the Australian commentator here, was great too. Long live TMS.
i spent my engineering student days listening to VM chakrapani and top20 on Radio Australia on saturdays at 2.30PM IST every week and of course cricket commentary!!
