I hope the Beeb don't fuck up the format too much, despite some of it's drawbacks TMS is not only invaluable but highly entertaining. It kept me company through late night's during the winter and it made the World Cup bearable.

I don't mind Sky's commentary much but TMS is in a class of it's own - am I alone here? I imagine Reg as a keen listener...

  Damn right.....although I'll always watch the box, if I'm in front of one, TMS comes into its own, filling the gaps, when driving walking or camping etc.

  Listening to overseas series, at some god forsaken hour of the morning, on some crap shift, also a particular joy.

TMS is great 8) Cricket wouldn't be the same without it and its especially important at the moment with no cricket on terrestrial TV :(

Sonic .. Id have to AGREE with you on this one .. Sky Sports commentary is a total turn off .. very very dull ...

TMS is ace - I love the way the cricket can be just an aside at times ... keeps you entertained .. Good ol Blowers!!

Get Sky larwood.

TMS got me through the Ashes series, Boycott was ace during that series.

Boycott fucked me right off during the Ashes, he seemd more excited at our inept performances than anything else. Miserable cunt.

TMS is currently distracting me from working...
