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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
