Lack of runs costs emotional Vaughan 5:07pm on 03 Aug 2008 well, hope the media are happy, and everyone else who has blindly jumped on the 'let's get vaughan out' bandwagon. I unfortunately have to include the TMS team in this who also seem to have fallen into the media-hyped ways that are now affecting crcket so badly.

I think time will tell and will show what a good captain and player vaughan is. ok, so he hasn't scored masses of runs for a few tests, but i'm amazed at the short-sighted nature of so many so called fans and pundits.

clearly the best captain England have had for decades - puts the team before himself (as most poignantly shown today) - can anyone seriously imagine pietersen doing the same?? If england do well under him, it will be more about glorifying himself than the team.

a sad day for english cricket.
Outstanding Smith deserves his success 4:45pm on 03 Aug 2008 well, hope the media are happy, and everyone else who has blindly jumped on the 'let's get vaughan out' bandwagon.

From the Commons to Lord's 10:06am on 10 Jul 2008 Am a great fan of TMS, and have enjoyed the commentary this summer...

could I just make one comment and that is, please can we avoid using 'general' five live sports commentators, such as Mark Saggers, Arlo White and Mark Pougatch - whilst their commentaries are fine and they quite reasonably describe the action, I do not feel they add anything extra or interesting to the action in the way the Aggers or CMJ do. Cricket is a unique sport for commentating on, due to the gaps in 'action' between deliveries and overs, and I don't think the general five live commentator mould really is a good match for radio cricket commentary. I would be really sad to see TMS lose its charm to blander sports commentary.

anyway, just my opinion. thanks.
