The Test Match Special on-air incident, in which Jonathan Agnew's comment on Ian Botham's attempt to avoid stepping on his stumps ? " He just couldn't quite get his leg over" provoking prolonged fits of giggles, most notably from Brian Johnston, has been voted the greatest piece of sporting commentary ever. The friendship between " Aggers" & " Johnners" became immortalised through that broadcasting classic, but there was a far deeper bond between the two men, as this fascinating book reveals. Jonathan Agnew had grown up to the sound of Johnston, Arlott, & a young Martin-Jenkins et al on TMS as he followed his father around on the family farm, ear glued to the transistor radio, but the two men met formally only when Agnew joined the BBC team at Headingley in 1991. Thus began a great working partnership which, fuelled by a mutual passion for the noble game, bridged the generation gap & ended only with Johnston's sudden death in 1994. As this book demonstrates so convincingly, Johnners's wit, warmth & sense of fun was a feature not only of his cricket commentaries, but also in the way he lived his life. His influence on " Aggers" is clearly recognisable in the same amiable & informal manner in which his successor presents Test Match Special today. Thanks, Johnners is a rich blend of biography & anecdote, of antics & dramas on & off the pitch, in & out of the commentary box, its pages filled with stories about the great names of cricket including Fred Trueman, Geoffrey Boycott, Vivian Richards, Michael Holding & Ian Botham. Just as TMS is the sound of summer, so Thanks, Johnners is the fresh breeze rippling the long grass of remembered pleasures. ...
