The Cricket Thread 2014

Won the toss and are batting.

Jordan and Woakes in for Plunkett and Stokes and obviously Buttler in for Prior.

Need some runs from the top order. C'mon England.

The worst news of the series so far, Charles Dagnall has joined the TMS team.

[PGW]

The worst news of the series so far, Charles Dagnall has joined the TMS team.

He has been on it most of the season.

Not for the Test matches, it's his first time.

Cook and Robson have got the first 20overs out of the way, I think that's the first time we've got to 20 overs without loss in about 18months.

And you jinxed it!

[paul_e]

I'm saying nothing more, importantly though the opening partnership did their job and saw off the new ball, even with Robson going shortly after it's a big improvement on the summer so far.

"Daggers" just does not have the voice to be a commentator.

Couldn't TMS have borrowed Simon Hughes from Channel 5 for a few stints? Vaughan & Boycott commentate for both.

I've only just turned on the Radio. Who's missing from today's TMS team ? I assume that there's no Blowers

[Chris Jameson]

No Blowers or Swann, you're right about Dagnall, his voice is awful.

Delighted for Cook that he's still there, would love to see him go on and get a big hundred now.

[UK Redsox]

Swannie missing is not that much of a problem because it frees up a spot for Victor.

Its a golden era of TMS summarizers at the moment with Swannie, Tuffers, Victor and Sir Geoffrey.

TMS scorer/statto Andrew Samson is a Red Sox fan. I know that I liked him.

[Damo70]

Full marks (as BFR would say) to Shane Warne for slipping in an Inspector Gadget reference to the commentary. "He used his go go Gadget arm there".

[UK Redsox]

What were those 80s bands that Warney was banging on about earlier?

[UK Redsox]

Sky are clearly trying to find the most embarrassing photos they can for their graphics. That one the just put up of Nasser is a classic.

Watching Sky whilst listening to TMS is definitely the way to go.
