The Ultimate RADIO Cricket Commentary Dream Team Revealed! PT1👀| Bumble & Kimber

[@Nickherts]

CMJ was superb. He thoroughly deserved that bit of luck that saw him cover the 81 Ashes on TV. A privilege to meet him.

[@RalphBrooker-gn9iv]

Still my favourite commentator.

[@opalruby13]

With the most beautiful voice of all of them.

[@harinagarajan2296]

Some of commentators in Hindi. Sushi Doshi, Ravi Chaturvedi. Just marvellous. We in India did not have access to t.v for a very long time. These commentators had the presence and I could visualise bill lawry or Mackenzie through this commentary. T.v commentary outside of Ian Chappell, Lloyd, maybe a couple of others.

[@CricketEngland]

The dream team would be Lead Presenter - Jonathan Agnew (Aggers) Presenter - Christopher Martin-Jenkins (CMJ) Presenter - Henry Blowfeld (Blowers) Presenter - Alison Mitchell Presenter - Daniel Norcross Summariser - Phil Tufnell (Tuffers) Summariser - Michael Vaughan Summariser - Alex Hartley Summariser - Alistair Cook summariser - Fred Trueman (WI matches - Tony Crozier) (Indian matches - Prakash Wakankar) (Australian matches - Jim Maxwell)

[@alextv293]

Very good list 👍

[@jetpark3743]

Definitely not Alison Mitchell

[@CricketEngland]

@@jetpark3743she is better than you think and stop being so sexist

[@dkf4063]

Isa Guha rather than Alison Mitchell. Geoffrey Boycott instead of Alistair Cook. Brian Johnson instead of Daniel Norcross. Vic Marks instead of Alex Hartley

[@ShanePalmer-yo4og]

@@dkf4063 I agree with Boycs, Jonners and Vic Marks.....

[@vishwanathr844]

Not sure if Jarrod remembers but Dr. Neville Oliver (they called him the doctor) filled in during the 1991-92 Ind-Aus series and then again in 92-93 for the WI-Aus home series. He hit the ball out of the park each time he was on air for his mini-session of 20 minutes. Tim Lane was just a newbie back then and Jim Maxwell was the real McCoy with the brilliant drawl, but the doctor was amazing. Harsha B was a guest for the Ind series. CMJ the ultimate default voice for TMS, until Agnew came around 1990. But Brian Johnston was absolutely magnificent even in the late 80s and even in 1990 when Ind toured England (what can be described as the Goochie series). So Brian Johnston and the doctor's unique voices and the way they described the match will always stay with me.

[@T0AD0FT0ADHALL]

Mark Nicholas was a great commentator imo. His commentary on Jimmy's spell against NZ where stumps were flying around was epic. Also great when KP was flashing that blade around.

[@brucebush5744]

I’ve only ever really listened to TMS - but have been listening for a long time. Host - Agnew Commentators - Arlott, Cozier, Tony Lewis Summarisers - Fowler, Boycott, Coney, Shastri Best female commentator was Donna Symmonds

[@ShanePalmer-yo4og]

Ah, yes, Donna was really superb

[@bakersdozen3216]

The irony of talk sport conducting this debate while they are trying to take cricket away from TMS in England

[@PaulRoneClarke]

Aggers grated a bit about 10 years ago when in every session of every game he brought up his dislike of DRS. Even after it had been in the game for years, He'd bring it up. He's stopped now pretty much, but sometimes I had to turn him off when, perhaps for the third time in the same days' play, he would bring up DRS and the primacy of the umpire. Even when umpires told him they wanted it. He still carried on.

[@relayer27]

Don Mosey's coverage of England's 1981 tour of India was a tour de force, he had to draft in under used Graham Dilley and Paul Allot as Co commentators

[@chrisminer5884]

Brian Johnson first name came to my mind. Voice of summer

[@ShanePalmer-yo4og]

For me it has to be: Presenter - Aggers Commentator - CMJ Commentator - Blowers Commentator - Brian Johnson (Jonners) Commentator - Alison Mitchell (The ONLY female who can do the job well) Summarisers - Fred Trueman, Sir Geoffrey Boycott, Vic Marks Overseas - Tony Cozier, Jim Maxwell, Prakash Wakanker The following are all, in my opinion, quite awful: Michael Vaughan (talks a lot but actually says nothing at all), Tuffers, Daniel Norcross (never stops talking about Surrey & I'm a Surrey supporter), Alex Hartley (I want to switch off when that woman starts screeching), Manthorp.

[@jetpark3743]

Definitely not Alison Mitchell

[@dkf4063]

Isa Guha is the best female voice

[@jamescoupland131]

Replace Mitchell with guha

[@ShanePalmer-yo4og]

@@dkf4063 But she does not understand cricket to the same level as Alison Mitchell.

[@AM2K2]

Love this channel!

[@MrDavidht]

John Arlott and Brian Johnston set the standard to which all those who follow aspire.

[@MukeshKumar-nd4gz]

I think is very good channel for overall cricket analysis in every aspect

[@vantheman1238]

Please don’t be PC and throw out all these modern names from overseas players. I’m sorry but let’s start as we mean to go on. Arlott, Johnson, Martin-Jenkins, Don Mosey, Blofeld, Tony Lewis, Simon Hughes, Aggers, Vic Marks and Tuffers. Kimber talks a pile rubbish at times. Aggers is brilliant.

[@dkf4063]

I agree, except for Simon Hughes. He is completely monotone

[@vantheman1238]

@@dkf4063 Kimber has no idea about TMS. You and I do and it is wonderful. Sometimes Kimber attempts to be too clever. His point on Aggers was nonsense. Remember when Aggers called the final overs a few years back when Stokes scored that incredible hundred at Headingly against Australia. It was pure theatre and Aggers was sensational. It’s on Yourube. Kimber should watch it.

[@malcolmpike8612]

Arlott the greatest, no question.

[@flatoutflatbroke]

I don’t think you know the meaning of political correctness!

[@dkf4063]

Brian Johnson Jonathan Agnew Christopher Martin Jenkins Henry Blofield. Ed Smith Geoffrey Boycott David Lloyd Vic Marks Phil Tufnell

[@ShanePalmer-yo4og]

I'm not a fan of Tuffers. His knowledge really seems limited compared to many others.

[@marilyncatterall402]

If John Arlott isn't your first pick, have you even listened to a radio?

[@dkf4063]

Isa Guha is the best female voice on radio

[@organiciyer2293]

So Tony Cozier is allowed to be in consideration despite having decades of tv experience, but Harsha Bhogle is dismissed immediately on the same basis. No bias against the Indian subcontinent, I am sure!

[@parkjohns9696]

Harsha’s gotten worse over time

[@JackBarrBaxter]

No, because Bhogle was selected for the TV commentary team. No double selections.

[@Sreeprayag]

CMJ one of the best ever. R I P Christopher 😢

[@harinagarajan2296]

Ian Chappell. He is someone who will make the game interesting. To not describe what just happened or engage in rah rah stuff. So no Harsha.

[@jetpark3743]

And no L siva Rama and Murali Karthik

[@harinagarajan2296]

@@jetpark3743 oh yes. None of that stuff either. Of late the Australian commentators have become cheerleaders. None of that stuff either. Slim pickings!!

Yes, Chapelli is like Sir Geoffrey, tells you what's going to happen and not what HAS happened. Always one step ahead. Good pick
