Oh no, the bearded wonder has died

TMS won't be the same. First we lost Johnners, and now Bearders. What a great loss. Legionella though

I used to love listening to Freddie Trueman. Particularly after lunch when England were playing at Headingley, after possibly having one or two alcoholic beverages....

True, however, it was sad that poor old Fredders lost the plot in his latter days as he slid into senility. Things like naming a Barnsley Sunday league bowler as the best fast bowler he ever saw anywhere in the world etc.... were embarrassing for him. Shame, but a good chap all the same.

I loved listening to Bearders, Johnners, Trueman, Blofeld. And MacGilvary during the Ashes, and one or two of those Indians like Ravi Shastri with their flowery language.

I wasn't too keen on Bailey or Mosey, they were "in my day" merchants like Trueman, but if you never move with the times you've got to carry it off humorously like Trueman. They were miserable buggers.

However, the worst cricket commentator/pundit on radio ever is, without a doubt, Jack Bannister.

Yes. And Bannister is always whingeing. He whinges so much he often forgets to commentate on the cricket going on. I remember him missing a whole over once, in a test match while TalkSport had them, while he whinged about a slow bowler no-balling the previous day. If I may borrow your idea:

"Gough runs up to bowl the first ball of the over. Whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge. Here's Caddick starting a new over."
