Mikey was on Desert Island Discs this morning and I don’t mind admitting I had tears in my eyes listening. What a man.The BLM segment last year was one of the most powerful pieces of television I've ever seen.

Insightful, articulate, balanced, passionate about cricket, personable and down-to-earth, each having a no-bullshit integrity and a good sense of humour without the need to force 'bantz' on the listener/viewer.Cricket is blessed with lots of excellent commentators. One of my emerging favourites is Isa Guha, who I think is fantastic.One of the things I used to love about Holding was after a fairly dry period of the game when someone hit a scoring shot there would be a delay as it raced to the boundary, and Mikey in his deep voice would just say, “runs”.Yes haha, like a not annoying version of Danny Morrison screaming "BOOM!" every time he hears bat on ball.

A friend went to a function where Hugh Johns was the guest speaker. He stood up obviously the worse for wear. As he spoke he fell forward and landed face down on the trestle table; it was over the join where 2 tables had been pushed together. They collapsed in a V shape around him and he was covered in food, dishes, glasses, cutlery etc.
