Oh dear

Alternating an audio-book with Test Match Special this afternoon...

I knew when I turned the radio back on just now that things weren't doing well - when Aggers is invoking Ambrose and Garner, you know there's not a lot of good bowling going on on the pitch... And then the second commentator turned out to be Geoff Boycott; who went off on an extended rant about how awful the England team had been. Poor old Aggers was just left to hum and mutter without actually agreeing, as you might if an embarrassing elderly relative went off on a loud diatribe in a quiet teashop, about people who might be listening; thankfully after about three minutes of "and another thing..." Boycott got up and wandered off somewhere, to Aggers' evident relief...

At least apple cake has been delivered to the TMS box; some things stay the same...

Not like the halcyon days of Aggers and Johnners, then? But glad to hear that the cake standards haven't slipped...
