Description
Delighting cricket fans since 1957, this collection of stories, snippets and memories celebrates BBC Radio’s ‘Test Match Special’, better-known as ‘TMS’. Go behind the scenes of the ball-by-ball commentary with insight into the anarchic commentary box camaraderie, cricketing highlights, mishaps and more from show stalwarts Jonathan Agnew (b.1960) and Phil Tufnell (b.1966). With contributions from show regulars, including Isa Guha, Ebony Rainford Brent, Alison Mitchell, Carlos Brathwaite and Aatif Nawaz, discover delightful tales from on and off the pitch over the decades. Includes starting out in the game, memories of county cricket in the 1990s and noughties, The Ashes, recollections of Brian Johnston (1912-94), plus opinionated lists of the deadliest spinners and biggest cricketing influences; to spoofs, blunders and wind-ups. Hilarity and high emotion in an unmissable salute to the show and some of cricket’s best-loved broadcasters.
