Test Match Special: Ball by Ball
It's 50 years since BBC radio set out to deliver "ball-by-ball" coverage of all Test Match cricket in this country. Since then there's been the poetic elegance of John Arlott, the japes and cakes of Johnners (Brian Johnston) and the exuberance of Jonathan Agnew. Rory Bremner looks back at what, for some, has been a rather elite club but for thousands of others, as vivid a her aid of summer as the smell of cut grass.
