2009 Ashes

Silly question.

Is it possible to listen to the forthcoming series vs South Africa on the radio?

Silly answer - not yet, you'll have to wait until December.

Yes you will - TMS does them all.

There was a dark time a few years ago when Talksport managed to win the radio rights to a series or two but there was such an outcry over it that I doubt the BBC will lose the rights again, certianly whilst it's not on terrestrial telly.

[TightEnd]

Even better, Sir Geoffrey has a joint contract to do SABC telly and TMS all winter

Love him or hate him, he's a great listen.

Good good.

Listening to this series on the i-player in the middle of the night pwned pretty hard. The only tough thing was trying to avoid all mention of the score during the day.

Geoffrey Boycott is fantastic, but I'd take Henry Blowfeld or whatever his name is every day of the week. He updates you on what the seagulls are up to and when, through the gap between the stands, he sees a bus momentarily appearing going down the road.

I've never known anything to accompany a session of grinding sit n gos quite like TMS. It's perfect

Oh and why the hell are we playing 7 (seven!!!!!) 50 over games against the Australians, ffs 3 would be enough. I will watch them probably but even as a big cricket fan this seems a little tiresome. Roll on the South African tour.

This, I'm a massive fan too, but I lose interest when there is this many.

[gatso]

yeah, would've preferred to drop a couple of them and play a 6 test series. although I don't want that now obv, 5 is enough

I agree. 7 is far too many. Just don't care about 1 dayers outside the trophies like the world cup/champions trophy

the problem is its a moneyspinner, the one day game is huge in a lot of cricketing countries

Boring old traditionalist, out.

He also does a weekly answer session on Cricinfo which is a pretty good 15 min listen...

[Pelham Boy]

I admit that after the test series the one dayers are going to be an anti climax, we certainly need as much practise as we can get in this form of the game.

Probably quite high given there is a pretty good chance one of them will be rained out.
