When I had my cable TV fitted, I had the radio commentary coming over the internet 🙂 The telly commentators get the advantage of being able to show things with replays but the radio commentators are great to listen to. They’re intelligent people who get a kick out of watching a game and they pass on that fun to the listener.
Cricket and football are a curious contrast. Cricket is a laid back game, football is hustle n bustle. But whereas 90 minutes of football only tends to have a couple of incidents which change the result, they happen every ball towards the end of a cricket match.
I get bored watching football but get glued to when a cricket match has a close finish 🙂
PS Test Match Special people are legendary in their ability to fully describe cakes.
