Dooogs Jul 2020 9:45am, 16 Jul 2020 6,221 posts	0 Dooogs Going back to mention of Ed Smith, has there been another period with so much change in the TMS commentary box? In the last 11 years, they've lost Blofeld, Boycott, Smith, Selvey, CMJ and Frindall (RIP x2) off the top of my head - and that's before you get on to opposition commentators like Tony Cozier (RIP again, alas). I know there always change over time but I can't recall that much churn since I started listening... PS I'm ambivalent about Smith's commentary - he's slightly too pleased with himself - but he's an excellent writer: I do miss his New Statesman columns.
