Test Match Special: Ball By Ball


TEST MATCH SPECIAL: BALL BY BALL (320kbs-m4a/131mb/57mins)

BBC Radio 4 Extra broadcast: 21st June 2022

Rory Bremner looks back at 50 years of BBC Radio coverage of test match cricket in this country.

The programme has seen a rich variety of commentators, including the poetic elegance of John Arlott, the japes of Brian Johnston and the exuberance of Jonathan Agnew.

For some the atmosphere has resembled that of an elite club, but for thousands of others the experience has been as vivid a depiction of summer as the smell of cut grass.

Producer: Tom Alban

First broadcast ion BBC Radio 4 in May 2007 to mark the 50th anniversary of Test Match Special.
