luckyluke 2 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Class. Preferred Malcolm Marshall and Michael Holding of the Windies quickies though. Joel Garner wasn't too shabby either. There is no better piece of commentary in the entire world than "The bowler's Holding the batsman's Willie" Factomundo!!!! Brian Johnston was an absolute legend. Had some quality gaffes in his career but that was the best. I loved him on TMS as he was just like someone talking to you in the pub about cricket rather than a commentator. The only one who is similar these days is Henry Blofeld but I think he's been pushed out of the TMS team now. Has he? I just thought as he's getting on a bit he doesn't want to cover all the matches (or fly all over the world). Him and Graeme 'Foxy' Fowler were absolutley brilliant together. Dunno what happened to the latter though. Johnston was before my time, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a bit of a campaign to get him back on but I'm not sure if it was successful or not. Hope he gets back on though, he's exactly what TMS should be about. Jonners was a legend. I remember the test when Botham was out hit wicket and Jonathon Agnew said something about him not being able to get his leg over and Jonners went into a giggling fit.

That's a damn shame if it's true. I love how he reports on the activities of buses, birds, and other events as if they were as or even more important than the cricket. And he accidentally referred to Panesar as Monty Python. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
