He certainly had the voice for it. But I think the programme owes much more to Brian Johnston, who I once had the pleasure of sitting next to on the train up to Brum for an edgbaston test.
I think he was the conductor of the orchestra that peaked long before TMS became the sole preserve of ex-players. |
Oh they're all great really, there's a very good "clubby" team spirit between them all, and it's the mix that makes TMS so special - e.g. Boycott & Tuffers setting each other off, and right now listening to dear old Blowers on R5lSports Extra in the re-run of the 2005 Ashes series that SteveM kindly alerted us to. |  |

Vic Marks doesn't do commentary but is among the best of the summarisers along with Glen McGrath. |
The afternoon Russell Crowe popped in was quite special, especially as he ended staying all afternoon.
His stories of his boyhood family cricket matches against his two cousins, both of whom could 'play a bit' were very entertaining | |

John Arlott was a poet, a genius with words.
He was so far superior to the next best that it was no contest. The next best was Alan Gibson. Ritchie was very good on tv, and I liked Mike Holding a lot; such a lovely voice. |  | | |

When Bob Cunis (of New Zealand) was bowling...
Arlott: "Cunis. A funny sort of name; neither one thing nor the other." |  |
