The Ashes

[thom]

Yes, I listen to it quite a lot. I particularly enjoy Aggers' subtle winding up of Boycott, and the fact that he invariably fails to spot it. I expect they're likely to back off Pietersen though, to prevent an enflouncement.

Of course we'll just have to wait and see/hear... but I suspect the true TMS dna will prevail.

I think it's to KP's credit that he's working with the public service broadcaster, rather than SKY.

He was unlikely to share the commentary box with Strauss!

Does KP actually know anything about cricket?

Knows about nuts I recall. Salted Peanut variety IIRC

I've always been a KP fan, so I suppose I'm a bit biased when I say give the guy a chance. Though I like him a great deal, Boycott is a similarly twattish figure for many and has descended into a cliche ridden parody of himself recently so he'd be the first I'd want off the commentary team.

I've emailed TMS a couple of times to voice my dislike and irritation at Boycott and his arrogant, know-all persona. To no avail of course apart from my personal satisfaction!
I'll wait and see how I feel about KP but my inclination is to reach for the off button as I do with Boycott.
