Test Match Special - Blowers and Jeremy

I'm having to listen to a lot of today's play on Test Match Special today. If you're in England and want to do the same, click here.

It's a shame to hear dear old Henry Blofeld's increasingly senile rambling. It's not as though he was firmly on the straight and narrow at the peak of his powers, but at least he was able to keep good tabs on the cricket in between rambling about buses and pigeons.

Now he struggles to make out which player is which (regularly being prompted by his co-commentator, who is silently gasping in frustration), and often loses track of the flight of the ball. Like this blog's guardian angels Athers and Russell, though, we love him regardless.

And for anyone who watched Sky's highlights programs of the NZ tour, they got that Kiwi bloke called Jeremy on, and he's rather good. He's already had an enjoyable argument with Boycott.
