Stick to the cricket please, TMS

While England are collapsing in a not too unfamiliar fashion in today’s one day international, I have been getting more and more concerned with matters going on in the Test Match Special commentary box lately. Last Sunday I was shocked to hear Tufnell liken Brett Lee to “a Panzer commander in a leather coat”. That must be because he’s got blond hair, so not much of a stereotyping there then Tuffers.

This afternoon whilst taking some junk to our local skip site, I heard Jonathan Agnew describing the head of the ECB’s stewards as having a “Germanic touch about her”. Strange comments indeed and as they say, not really cricket old chap.
