My dear old things, it's STW TMS!

The ball Anderson bowled to get Powell!

Quite literally…….WTF 😯 😯 😯 😯

You could replicate that ball twenty times over and it is unlikely it would be anything other than out.

You miss, I hit. And there’s a big chance of you missing because I’m goosing it all over the place.

Oh! Jimmy! Jimmy! 7-42 career best 😀

A Michelle and spares for Jimmy.

He’s having rather a good test!

107 runs max of Henry left

Runs flowing.

Over before tea?

More time for cake…..

cracking on at 7 an over

1 down

The final commentary stint from @blowersh on @bbctms will start at 3.40. Don’t miss history. #byebyeblowers

I’ve had to pull over in car for his last stint, quite dusty in my car

Thanks my dear old thing

Missing his last stint as we have guests, I don’t think they’d understand if I put it on

Thanks for the heads up – caught the last bit.

(In relation to the posh accent thread, the juxtaposition of blowers and tuffers at the hand over was marked – you decide in what manner;-) )

Oops – had him on, but switched to the Vuelta so missed the last bit. Though I suppose as the TV box is still tuned in to TMS and I switched the TV to the XBox to watch cycling I can rewind…

Ahh Blowers. Thanks for the memories. He will be sorely missed from TMS and I will remember him fondly. A true true legend of broadcasting who never failed to brighten my day no matter how England were playing.

it is available on the R4 website, from about 5:40 onwards for his last stint but worth listening a bit earlier for other stories about him

Top entertainer.

Congratulations Essex, great statistic – first time they have won it without Gooch in the side.

Walloooooooopppp!

Gayle may be exciting, but he’s a sodding lazy sod between the wickets.

Lazily strolling rather than defending his wicket.

“I didn’t think Evin was coming, so I ball-watched a bit. I jogged and I was a bit surprised he threw at that end. I thought about a dive but I didn’t want to get my clothes dirty.”

Quality!

Oops

Complete the following sentence;

Jason Roy is as much use as….

He’s either genius..or absolute toilet.

So, a day/night game.
In Manchester.
At the end of September.

Rain inevitable, shirley!

According to our man ‘oop North’s FB feed, it looks like Manchester is having its annual day of blue skies today

42 overs a side. 1430 start possibly…

WI wobble…..

Moeen SMASH!

And then takes the catch to win the game.

50 to 100 in 12 balls, ouch.

50 to 100 in 12 balls, ouch.

When your innings puts Gayle in the shade, you know it’s been a good one!

Also, nice touch from WI wearing black armbands in honour of the devastation caused the recent hurricanes.

I lucked out as i listened to that and it was tremendous something like 7 sixes and 2 fours in 11 balls after 32 iirc

Moeen is an elegant batsman, in the mould of a Gower. Not just a bish-bash-bosh merchant, but lovely stroke play, supple wrists and well, he’s just lovely to watch!

Cheers for that not seen itHe is a wonderful batter never mind his bowling and at the minute england are blessed with a number of genuine match winners with bat and ball and also some seriously talented all rounders.
If they could have two opening batsmen then they would be close to un beatable

Stokes arrested in early hours of Monday morning. Hales helping police with enquiries.

*Developing….

Not looking good he has been dropped too.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/20823300/ben-stokes-arrested-bristol-incident

did he punch someone in a walkabout?

(From Avon & Somerset Police Twitter feed)
“APPEAL: Did you see a disorder in the Queens Road/Clifton Triangle area of Bristol at around 2.35am yesterday? A 27-year-old man suffered facial injuries and was taken to the Bristol Royal Infirmary for treatment. A 26-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm and has since been released under investigation while enquiries continue.”

Clifton Triangle is approx. 15 minute walk from a Walkabout so I’m not ruling it out.

FFS. Does he think he’s warner?

Just before the test squad is announced too.
