Description
Since its first live broadcast back in 1957 it has proudly lived up to its original slogan 'Don't miss a Ball, we broadcast them all'.During much of this time the man behind the scenes was Peter Baxter and here he recalls the best moments and characters from his privileged perspective inside the commentary box. Throughout this period Peter Baxter worked alongside the legendary John Arlott, the inimitable Brian Johnston and the unforgettable Henry Blofeld and ushered in new faces, such as Jonathan Agnew, who continue to entertain, inform and charm listeners today. This book is both a celebration of three decades of cricket and a unique insight into the world of radio and broadcasting. It is the personal, touching and at times, laugh out loud funny, account of the producer's time 'inside the box'.
