Best of Bumble

The Wide World of Sports team reflects on David 'Bumble' Lloyd's Ashes summer.

[@markhaigh223]

This man is a national treasure..

[@DaveWhoa]

international

[@not.tariqxd]

Just saw news of his retirement, one of my all time favorite commentator. You'll be missed bumble.

[@carbine5378]

I’m Australian and always loved listening to Bumble; he was so entertaining. Will miss him😢

[@mathewkirk1748]

When Bumble was last commentating in NZ, he was asked if he had tried the local delicacy that is the Bluff oyster, renowned as a strong aphrodisiac. His response - “Aye I did, and I tell you what, they’re right. It certainly put the lead in my pencil”. After allowing the rest of the commentary to finish laughing, he then closed with, “trouble is lads, I’ve had no one to write to…..” Every man in NZ who was watching the test at home simultaneously spat their beer and coughed out their crisps and erupted in laughter. The other commentary team members couldn’t call the remainder of the over because every time they got composed, someone would snigger and it would kick off again. Hilarious man.

[@samipkarki4697]

Bumble love from Nepal one of the best commentators of the game.

[@bodsnvimto]

This deserves two thumbs up, one for Sir Bumble of Accy, the other for 'Waterfall' by the mighty Stone Roses.

[@joeennis5723]

Bods best comment I’ve ever read

[@mrkipling2201]

Agreed!!!

[@MatthewCaligari]

I wish Bumble would tour every summer, he's up there with Tony Greig and Richie.

[@blackbob3358]

what are you talking about, knobhead ?

[@rohitpawar2195]

And Bill lawry

[@20shourya]

no he's still down here.

[@aditya947kkr]

michael slater's look was priceless when Bumble was talking about the WAGS

[@tcacVII]

That Bob Willis impression is amazing

[@DaveWhoa]

but his Johnny Cash ...

[@MrJohndory111]

Wellll Charlesssss

[@andywilson9150]

Also his Fred Trueman as well.

[@samanthkumar6090]

godd!! what a man!! Love you Bumble!! just privileged to have him as a Commentator 😘

[@youtubersfc2466]

Cricket is going to miss Bumble. Happy retirement 🥺

[@honeybeebadger]

Bumble only played 9 tests for England ..he's really made a name for himself in Sky commentary box

[@MrMiD.Life.Crisis]

Have you seen/heard the Boycott story (that is on KZbin) that Bumble wouldve never played for England had ol' Geoffrey been playing - i dont want to spoil it if you haven't seen it. Also remember he was the England coach in mid to late 90's, that 'golden era' of English cricket (constant losses and draws). Hope you're good and staying safe.

[@MrTommywicks]

He was also a professional umpire and england coach

[@eddyvideostar]

@@MrMiD.Life.Crisis David Lloyd Is a spellbinding fantastic all-around cricket enthusiast and a good man. He played for his country, was an umpire and a coach, and a professional commentator. This was well done; albeit, thought, he was not tip-of-the-tongue great, nor a household name when he was playing at his peak.

[@andyb8074]

He actually made his name when he got smashed in the nuts at 95kms/hr by Jeff Thomson at the WACA.

[@hulk8384]

@@andyb8074 😲😲

[@Acemanveryspecial]

The Slags joke was great.

[@lightningleaf23]

Couldn’t believe the two Aussies were so slow on the uptake

[@Magooch86]

Slater's been hanging around rugby league players too long

[@chang-jungkarki1684]

David Lloyd's been always joy to watch. True legend, great commentator with brilliant sense of humour too. 😁😂😍

[@tommymirehouse4540]

The best commentator in the world and it is time to bring him back,never mind about politics get him back.

[@annekennard8446]

Bumble may have only played 9 test for England but was great enough to score a double century in India. An all time great behind the mic to top it off. Love U Bumble.

[@graemestarkey7524]

Actually he scored his double ton in England, against a rather weak Indian attack.

[@20shourya]

@@graemestarkey7524 when has India ever had a strong attack? (barring a couple of series with J J Bumrah)

[@jerryattwooll4864]

The man is simply a national treasure.

[@akamiguelsanchez9985]

Every commentary team needs a bumble. Analysis and stats are great but you need someone like Bumble

[@srikanthcheeshwar1665]

The man behind extraordinary flow of conversation ....bumble

[@coltube01]

Bumble, the only Pom who can leave Australia with his head held high on a job well done.

[@patrickkelly7085]

you Australians keeping your heads high these days

[@amansinha1443]

I read your "Pom" as "Porn" in the beginning..

[@jenniferball8294]

Brilliant. We miss him on commentary!

[@jariv1991]

Happy retirement mate you been one of the greatest.

[@jordansullivan4150]

I come back every now and then just for the Bob Willis impression. RIP Bob

[@GregHowley-z2u]

Love listening to Bumble. His recount of the time that he was struck in the Jatz Crackers by a Thommo thunderbolt is one of the funniest things you’ll ever hear. Made all the funnier by his outrageously thick Yorkshire accent. He has been able to build an entire career post cricket based on that one moment of agony. The man is a national treasure. Beloved by everyone who loves the game of cricket.

[@tommywm24]

Love it. Wish he came to Australia every summer!

[@andywilson9150]

Bumble is a legend and i can't say that too much. Come back Bumble we all miss you.

[@Poepwoes]

PLEASE come back Bumble! Everybody (except some Aussies) are sorely missing you

[@anushperera6346]

Such a colorful character.❤

[@davidjames1881]

how can you not like this gentler side of life

[@MrHistorian123]

Bumble has a holiday retreat near to me and goes to the local pub in the village. Apparently, he's hysterically funny. People go there to meet him and listen to his stories.

[@skyman2461]

Your are a true legend 👍🏻 Going to miss “ it’s time to start the car…..”

[@cockywatchman1976]

Bumble-i dont know how you couldnt like him. Should have his own show

[@Brandon210-q4n]

Bumble's Cricket Trivia!

[@azapro911]

Had no idea Bumble worked for Channel 9 as well. The Jimmy Hill of cricket, turned his hand to everything.

[@mickraines8908]

100% definitely a man we need back on tv, Bumbles priceless 😂❤

[@gaminguniverse3976]

I can watch Bumble all day

[@TheRooster94]

Sign him for next year!

[@Aashiqz]

Absolutely adore him!!!

[@kinghiggins5021]

Bumble is one of the greatest cricket commentator in the world

[@AdviceFromAShoe]

My favorite commentator in world cricket. Understands his audience doesn't mind a lack of political correctness every now and then. Great accent to boot.

[@donnyrover1]

Top bloke , heavily into The Fall too , which, of course, is a very good thing.

[@ishanmason]

Bumble is the Uncle Colm I could listen stories from for hours.

[@kevinneeder661]

Just like Richie, a fantastic commentator and great embassidor for the game

[@juniormcclure8501]

My favorite cricket commentator...

[@srikanthcheeshwar1665]

The only one voice in commentary box that I likely to hear everyday ....none other than David Lyodd❤️

[@PunkSpike]

Gotta love Bumble.

[@robertclarke8456]

Bumble one of the best comedy turns ever to grace a cricket pitch the mans a leg end sorry legend 😂😂😂

[@Snaerffer]

He is just awesome.

[@mujibulislam8654]

Cricket is incomplete without Bumble.

[@eldeeb6433]

"up at sparrow's fart" is one of my favourite phrases

[@IqbalKhan-eg9fc]

[@SAGARSAMRATB]

[@omkarsridhar14]

[@BankerLokesh]

[@chap666ish]

I still miss Bumble commentating on TMS. Which he used to do. Decades ago.

[@spazbog123]

C'mon Bumble you can't pull the SLAGS joke when I have a mouth full of beer!

[@PermanentMerka]

My fave bumble moment of all time when the india were needing some overs from someone in a test match vs England and the indian commentator said. " You know Kholi bowls a few partime mediums trys to get it wobbling" Bumble "auh they sound ABSOLUTELY filthy" I can laugh everytime i think about it.

[@user-gl8qu7qf2q]

Regional stars like this man make up the UK.. super. Its the peas that make it

[@ThomasStirk]

Love Bumble the slags bit was so funny

[@Bernie8330]

OMG I had no idea David Lloyd was this funny. I'm an Aussie.

[@thejokingcat783]

Imagine Kerry O’Keefe and David Lloyd in the same commentary box. Absolute chaos.

[@jamestrainor4293]

we want that

[@ukbrummie5053]

Fkin legend and makes cricket worth watching with his mad head and banter.

[@jamiewilson8253]

Bumble is a God. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🔰👏

[@gerardmcnally]

Us Aussies LOVE Bumbles!

[@terrywiseman]

Thanks for the memories - this old fart first saw 'Bumble' at the Regency Restaurant in Ecclesfield, Sheffield, pushing 40 years ago. Brilliantly funny then - and since. We can't afford to lose guys like this!"!!!

[@PurpleNurpple]

I just love his voice. He should read and record comedic books or something.

[@driptoffen3604]

He did great job in IPL18

[@rileycassidy1096]
