England end KP's international career.

...Hope they don't toss him off air ; he is far from the worst commentator...

Who is worse? Henry Blofeld, perhaps, but I can't think of many more.

I find it utterly incomprehensible, in a world of rolling 24/7 news, social media, and countless millions of people recording everything they see on mobile phones, that celebs, politicians, and pundits still get caught out in this way.

Strauss is not a stupid person, so why be so dense, as to say something like that with microphones around, whether he believes they are turned off or not?

deserves whatever comes his way, imo

silly sod!


and I'm not sure that being mortified after being caught has ever been a legitimate defence...... M'lud

I can hear John Arlott rotating in his grave.

Blofeld doesn't really commentate on cricket, more on the nuances of life.

Michael Vaughan is the worst commentator going, even calling him a commentator feels generous.

Now you're talking about the very best. I can understand Strauss's contempt for KP but thought he had more about him than this.

Pigeons and buses, more like, with intonation so affected that I used to wonder if it was a parody, but a parody can't be maintained for so many years.

There is no commentator in any sport that comes close to how annoying Blofeld is. In fact, I have never got the TMS thing really. Agnew is a bitter prat.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Boycott runs Blofeld close.

Blofeld and Boycott are both popular. Unaccountably.

I get the feeling of an underwhelming sense of excitement about the approach of this series.

Agreed. He sounds too laddish. I was in the garden but could hear the Sky commentary and I just wanted to run in smash the TV when he was on.

On Twitter all he seems to post is about a "splendid" lunch at some posh restaurant.
