I thought the inane drivel better than adverts, but was proved wrong in one line: "and back in the middle a wicket has fallen" (or some such). Maybe the "cricket" should be your focus? Still think it's like watching an 80s video game.

Enjoyed the cricket, hated the nonsense interview., Next week they give out Blue Peter Cricket badges to any kid shown live on tv I expect
Oscar the Grouch Jul 2021 5:29am, 23 Jul 2021 3,308 posts	0 Oscar the Grouch I happened to switch on just as it finished last night. I have watched cricket since I was about 8 or 9. I had no idea what the screen was telling me. To win 10, Wickets 3... but someone had one. I think the fielding side won, but there was nothing to tell me which side were which either. Appreciate me joining then isn't ideal but you have to expect that if you want to attract new people?

Exited! ___ *Harry Hill’s Fruit Corner on Radio4 featured a running Yoko Ono impression which would almost certainly be banned by the BBC now. I had the series on cassette so I’m guessing late 90s? PN will know.
