The Ultimate RADIO Cricket Commentary Dream Team Revealed! PT2👀| Bumble & Kimber

[@carmenlottner297]

The wind-ups between Aggers and Boycs were classic.

[@jarrodf_]

08:10 Glad Alison Mitchell got a call-out; one of my favourites. Isa Guha also a joy

[@reetualism]

You guys haven't heard much of Steven Finn lately on TMS. The guy is real deal and he knows some stuffs about radio commentry. He is really top-notch and should be the main summariser for TMS in near future. One underrated name, you guys forgot, is Vic Mark. He's also brilliant. Simon Mann the most prepared cricket commentator I know.

[@maverick792]

Ian Smith (energy and description) Graeme Swann (Humor and insight)

[@MOMGEN1]

I miss Swanny on TMS.

[@jamespearce9973]

Ritchie Benaud ! A class act. Genuinely surprised that he seems to be forgotten 😕

[@stewartdavies929]

I’ll never forget Fred Trueman’s response to Tony Greig’s Barb about not remembering Fred’s career implying how long ago it was. Trueman’s response was a dry “have a look in the record books sonny. It’s all there. Best comeback ever.

[@jshaers96]

Fred Trueman was a lot of fun as a summariser and he hasn't really been replaced.

[@DuncanEvans-t7q]

I think Cook and Finn will become great addition to the radio commentary with a few years more, although I find it hard to separate their voices. A new star I would pick is Alex Hartley, she good at explaining spin, but also can lark about and seem a ditz. I personally think that it going to be a good listen when I know she on the team

[@DelroyLewis-z1u]

Tony Cozier

[@rameshagsswamy]

I am a die hard fan of talksport cricket commentary... You are my heroes

[@RalphBrooker-gn9iv]

Trueman!! “Cricket bats??? We didn’t have bats! Balls??? We didn’t have balls! Pitches??? We didn’t have pitches???” Rinse and repeat. Jeremy Coney is a universe boss.

[@jimb9063]

No bats, balls, and pitches?!!! You were lucky, we used to dream of having no bats, balls, and pitches...

[@RalphBrooker-gn9iv]

@@jimb9063 🤣

[@MilesDavisKDAB]

John Arlott. "Aaand we have a streaker...........it's not particularly shapely.......and it's masculine......and I imagine it has seen the last of its cricket for today" all delivered with a dead pan Hampshire accent. His cricket knowledge was second to none & most importantly he knew that a few seconds silence could be comedy gold or create great drama & suspense.

[@jingleballix]

Ball-by-ball: Arlott, Laker, Benaud, Cozier, CMJ, Atherton, Hussain, Guha Summarisers: Coney, Warne, Holding, Lloyd himself

[@HkFinn83]

That point about knowing what Boycott was going to say before he said it; the sky team was an extreme example of that in the days when Gower, Bumble and Botham were getting older. The taller bowlers will get more bounce, they should just declare now so we can go and play golf, they should have more slip fielders etc etc. it was really bad towards the end

[@maazrizwan5966]

david llyod is adorable lol

[@MichaelBrown-oh3wc]

Listening to Australian radio from NZ I liked the two Terry's. Alderman and Jenna

[@MNH73]

Vic Marks. Also Mike Selvey

[@Teddysounds]

John Arlott

[@shalompatole5710]

Kimber's take on Boycs and Chappelli is spot on. They are good but they are stuck in their time.

[@peterg8686]

Vic Marks? A great all round journalist with no ego.

[@richardboothman3333]

They haven’t mentioned Henry blofield the late brian Johnston current comentators Asha boshle

[@jimb9063]

See the previous video about commentators, this one's about summarisers.

[@richardnoble3989]

Vic Marks needs to be in there! Also not done the statistician/scorer - Bearders or Zaltzman??

[@brucebush5744]

Never really liked Trueman - he turned into a parody of curmudgeonly disrespect for the “modern” game whilst “golden-ageing” his own era. To have been so critical of “the state of the game” that included the great West Indies teams, Imran Khan, Richard Hadlee, Allan Border, etc was annoying at the time and seems completely bewildering now. Boycott, whilst often critical, still seemed to find plenty to admire and enjoy about the modern game.

[@vantheman1238]

He wasn’t always like that you’re simply copying what the many say who listened to Fred at the end of his broadcasting career in the 1980’s. In the 70’s Fred was interesting to listen too and funny.

[@brucebush5744]

@@vantheman1238 fair enough - maybe I didn’t listen to him at his best. But I’m not copying other people’s opinions of his late 70s and 80s performances, I’m giving my own view based on many hours of listening to him going on about “there’s been no great players since Sobers” and similar.

[@dkf4063]

Couldn't agree with you more 👏

[@jshaers96]

I grew around a lot of people like Fred and I think you have to remember he wasn't always being serious. Also, although there were some great players in the '70s and '80s, there were plenty of ordinary ones too and ripe for criticism.

[@Chris-wj8fz]

Yep I want FT in my world best bowling with Charlie Griffiths and wes hall 😂 old school + warne

[@Teddysounds]

Tony Cozier? The Alderman?

[@Royalbob123]

Jeffery Boycott, I am from India and grew up listening to him on TV. Straight forward , witty and he has the X factor. Broadcasters needs to employ experienced ( yes, age wise) cricketers from English speaking countries. They add a LOT of charm to the game.

[@flatbat8571]

Michael Vaughan became too much of a shock jock running his mouth off. Give me Hussain and Atherton over him any day

[@Hunchbacc]

Fully agree. Boycott pt. 2

[@panzerschreckpete]

The problem with Talksport is the absolute one-eyed parochialism - there needs to be some objectivity - but that has been sadly lacking for a long time.

[@gingerwoods616]

John Arlott?

[@jehanariyaratnam2874]

Bill Lawry and Richie benaud?

[@MrBenmanning]

Allison Mitchell ?!

[@jshaers96]

At least they didn't say Isa Guha. Mitchell is fine, just very BBC and a bit bland.

[@lukeshackleton6282]

I find her voice to be irritating. Content wise she's good, and obviously very knowledgeable, I just wouldn't choose her in a dream team.

[@DuncanEvans-t7q]

I think Alison is great but I find her and Isa sound so similar that I get confused

[@etzared8908]

She describes cricket just fine, (dull, but fine) but I've not once heard her demonstrate any real understanding or insight of the game

[@neilpotter66]

I'd throw Vic Marks in

[@geoffbanton4049]

Easy this: Coney, Boycott, Agnew and OKeefe

[@dkf4063]

Boycott is best

[@DavidEdwardd-e1j]

Tony and Reds from the Caribbean

[@dkf4063]

Fred was a terrible bore

[@vantheman1238]

Not at the beginning maybe at the end but not in the 1970s

[@yingyang1008]

the stats guy on the BBC does my head in - unlistenable at times, end of every over he just hits you with minutes worth of the most uninteresting stats imaginable, speaking so fast to cram in as many stats as possible - the guy should speak once per innings

[@entertainmentjammin9361]

England commentators are boring now a days

[@RohitSharma-mi8gt]

Boycott is a terrible commentator

[@jameskeays9284]

The word ‘batter’ is cringe af. It’s a batsmen and has been forever unless talking about the woman.

[@fr3nch246]

That is why the term was changed, becaise of the women's game

😂😂😂😂...

[@vantheman1238]

Kimber you’re on a British radio show accept Sir Geoffrey Boycott. By the way Kimber you’re becoming rather irritating. Stop trying to be too clever! Many of us are “casual fans”, and have a professional cricket background so we know what we’re talking about. Boycs is a legend.
