TMS has served up so many memories for me over the years! I don’t think the commentary today is as good as John Arlott and the great Brian Johnson to mention just a few old stalwarts. Housewife’s used to send in their Victoria Sponges and other delights for the commentary team to sample. Then of course we had the “old stalwarts” taking the field. Cowdrey, Barrington, Edrich, Knott, Statham, Trueman, Tutmus, Illingworth, Close and the young up and coming Boycott. Plenty of others too that I’ve failed to mention.Then of course we had that fantastic unforgettable Brian Johnson gaff when we played the West Indies: “The batsman is Holding, the bowlers Willey”. Truly unforgettable indeed!This new idea of playing Test Match Cricket like a limited overs game I’m sure will help revitalise the game. Bravo to the new England set up!4

I agree Crawley is out of form, but Baz clearly likes his attiude, and Crawley trying to be positive, and why change a winning team? It's a team sport!1 -

It isn't raining yet, it's ment to start in about an hour though it doesn't look like it ATM.
Set fair after lunch though and the light will hold later.1 -

Bravo to the new England set up!Unfortunately the famous “Holding Willey” line is sort of an urban myth in that it is misremembered by many (possibly a “Mandela effect” as many people swear blind they remember it) - it was a joke sent in by a listener and was never part of commentary as Blofeld and Baxter explain here:

Bit of a shocker that
The biggest influence on English cricket since?????Makes sense to retire now, he’s been poor for a long time, and as mentioned, we now have great finishers like livingstone and moeen who offer something with the ball as well. Buttler is a shoe in for the captaincy, gives him a bit of time to prepare for world t20 in oz too.0 -

The correct decision for Morgan to retire. He wouldn't want to just be in the team just out of loyalty for past glories.0
