Blofeld & Baxter "The Leg Over"

[@alanbromilow8218]

Peter Baxter was a great producer,but also a good commentator and presenter.He would helm the coverage for overseas Test Matches in London and if the line went down,and it often did,he had to fill until commentary was restored.No easy job,and he did it brilliantly.Equally commentating and producing abroad,when it may have been him and one other commentator all day,with a couple of summarisers was a terrific effort to keep ball by ball going in the days well before Sky broadcast live tv coverage.Radio was king.

Poor Ian Botham forever known as the man who didn't quite get his leg over!

[@brucekilby9957]

A brilliant story and one of the best,I'm sure Beefy tells this one regualy, I know Aggers does.

He doesn’t actually, because he wasn’t in the box to know
