Golden silence!
When Bradman got his last innings duck, the radio commentator
paused . . .
paused . . .
paused . . .
It was brilliant but today he’d be fired!

Great tribute to Bob Simpson by Steve Waugh:
Foxtel really should be sending cricket commentators to the ground.
By not going to Darwin they reduced the quality of the coverage.
I don’t blame the commentators - it’s a hard gig to call it from a studio.

1991: I secretly watched each night without parents knowing
1995: epic
1999: went to a pub with friend and watched
2003: took time of work to stay up and watch
It’s fallen away since but I’d love it if this Caribbean series returns to a semblance of former greatness
