I was 18, living in Bangladesh, heard every second live on short wave radio. CMJ, Johnston, Mosey, Trueman, Bailey and Blofeld. The BEST commentary team that ever existed.
Just out of the world. BBC commentary is the best in the world. What voice, vocabulary, clarity, knowledge of the commentators, supreme. Nobody can compete with these great people. Fantastic old days! Sweet reminisce! 👍👌👋🌺🌹❣️🌷
I am from Ireland and never played or have seen a live game of cricket but developed a love of the game through listening to TMS. I used to love especially lying in bed on Dec 26 and listening to the Melbourne ashes test on a transistor while trying not to wake the rest of the family.These men will never be forgotten.
Test match special by BBC, one of my favourite programme. I used to listen every test beautiful voices of Christopher Martin Jenkins Tony cozier, John arlott
Iam hearing with my father radio when iam primary and highschool.the match will start 3.30 evening for Indian time.we enjoyed bbc .i think those days of 1987.to 2000.i heard
If you enjoy listening to Cricket or follow England and want to listen to the cricket commentary old and new (all be it several hours later then the live coverage) along with great cricket documentaries and podcast then visit my new Cricket England channel - czcams.com/channels/7eBcEfpeSQYEVsvoMAIaJA.html
@@CricketEngland do you have the 1983 World Cup by any chance or England in West Indies 1986 or in India in 1984-85 ? I am subscribed to ur new channel.
@@dfb1976 all the World Cup stuff I have is on the Cricket World Cup playlist on the channel and sorry I don’t have individual matches just the TMS podcasts looking back over each of the early World Cups
Please, please, please more of these TMS commentaries. I emailed BBC regarding uploading TMS commentaries from the 80's and 90's. Didn't receive a reply. This is pure joy. Thank you
I have a cassette somewhere of the 1989 ashes recording. Maybe 1/2 hour of commentary. I used to listen to it at night (here in Australia) after school as a teenager.
I used to do the same, dear... Unfortunately, due to rights restrictions, TMS is not available in India. But lucky to grow up listening to the legends.
Actually, while listening to this old clip, my memories fly back through five decades. Even in the early 70s these commentators were the regular voices on the air and I distinctly remember those sessions. Good old days! Thanks for preserving this valuable clip for posterity. One of the commentators would often repeat ‘I think probably’. Who was he? Trevor Bailey?
TMS was sports broadcasting of the highest quality, part of what made it special was the cricketing knowledge these men possessed. All of these voices stuck with you and were instantly recognisable. Also worth Mentioning the wonderful Tony Cozier, and the producer Peter Baxter, who did the history of previous tours during some of the lunch intervals. Sadly now all of these men have left us, happy days remembered but alas never to be seen again.

In India I could get it in short waves. Very pleasant experience.

I would love to but don't have a clue where to start, sorry.

Yes indeed. Late Trevor Edward Bailey
Yes @1956Subramanian good old days
That does sound like Trevor Bailey, affectionately nicknamed the Boyle by Brian Johnson.
Wonderful. I so wish they would make some old commentaries available.
