ABC commentators just asking which of their four experts (Gavaskar, Lehmann, Moody and McGrath) one would sign for an IPL team if they were all in their pomp and available. The answer has to be Glenn McGrath to benefit from four cheap overs (probably with wickets) every match. In that format Moody is the only other one of the four who even merits consideration and for me he is a distant second.

Listening to Test Match Special and I'm not sure that an argument along the lines of people will pay £300-£400 for a gig ticket so it's fine for marquee international matches to be extortionately priced is the right lesson from the Oasis reunion. #cricket #TestMatchSpecial
Does anyone have a link to #TestMatchSpecial coverage on YouTube (if it exists this year)? A point in the right direction would be much appreciated. #cricket
The BBC first broadcast the Shipping Forecast on 1st of January 1924 so this week is its 100th anniversary.
The Andy Zaltzman stat bursts still annoy me.
Watching this clip, and someone just said on TMS - "What year is this?"

Good evening Fediversistas! Another day of listening to #TestMatchSpecial, job seeking and ambling. The sun that shone on the Ashes run feast shone on us too
The #TestMatchSpecial overseas link is now here, for those who like listening to the #BBC but don’t like finding links on BBC websites.

Good evening again Fediversistas. Been listening to/watching/following online the #WASHES and #MASHES #Cricket most of the day. Our afternoon amble on. Saturday is always #KermodeAndMayosTake plus any #TestMatchSpecial as I can get signal for. Now watching #Extraction2 on the Flix which is suitable Saturday night brainless action fodder #RichardWatchesTheTelly
Spent most of the day listening, quite rightly, to #TestMatchSpecial (what a game. Flipping heck). Tonight’s telly:
Episode 1 of the new #BlackMirror - very good, very meta
Episode 3 of #Hijack on Th’Apples - great cast, awaiting the inevitable twist(s)
Episode 8 of #Deadloch - loving this. No spoilers! #RichardWatchesTheTelly look
(Continued) The Infinite Monkey Cage - wasps v bees. Remains pretty unmissable for pop science
History Hit on Toto Koopman - fascinating story about a bisexual heroine.
I have a fairly static roster of podcasts but like to dip into other stuff now and then. Recommendations always welcome, but #TestMatchSpecial trumps everything

Thanks to Jim Maxwell for the delightful #ashes interlude about a coconut and passion fruit that had been delivered to the studio, gift of the Primrose Hill and Brondesbury Cricket Associations. This is why I love #testmatchspecial

Following snooker's adorable over-reaction to being disupted by protest, we've been brainstorming possible JSO lines of attack on the forthcoming summer of cricket...

Today’s culture: morning listening was all #TestMatchSpecial, still the apex of human existence: people talking about test cricket - it has its own wonderful poetry. Afternoon, between calls, #6Music. Podcasts: #TMS, #TheWitchFarm and #InfiniteMonkeyCage on #BabySeaClowns;
Telly: #Trailblazers, #Avenue5 #TinkerTailorSoldierSpy. All good, apart from the latter which is the best of all the telly, IMHO. #Culture
