description: In 1957, a whole day's play of a Test Match was broadcast on BBC Radio for the first time with the slogan 'Don't miss a ball, we broadcast them all'. This book celebrates 50 years of Test Match Special with anecdotes, stories, reminiscences and champagne moments of five decades of cricket commentary. Sprinkled throughout are "My First TMS match" articles by top-class writers and commentators such as Jonathan Agnew, Christopher Martin-Jenkins, Henry Blofeld, Bill Frindall, Simon Mann, Vic Marks, Mike Selvey and Angus Fraser. Edited by Peter Baxter, the organizing brain behind TMS and the producer for 29 years, this is a comprehensive and celebratory account of this most respected and prestigious brand in cricket.
