He gets even more self-centred

So I've planned my day to perfection - a couple of pub inspections and a meeting in the morning then a drive back from Canterbury timed to start just as TMS begins. Disappointment is not long in showing its face with Bell for Shah - should have seen that coming but still can help feeling that it's wrong.

Then the conversation turns to Bill Frindall and clearly it's time to acknowledge his scorerfullness but what do we get from Boycott? Firstly he tells us that he's got two houses as in he keeps one copy of Frindall's reference works in each and then that he likes to check his own figures because his memory plays tricks (so he's not perfect in every aspect). And soon after that we get tales of scoring 150s off Agnew's bowling. Proof that top level sport needs self awareness but for commentary? - I've had enough and he's starting to become a caricature of himself in the same way that FST did.

Agree about Boycott. His constant Vaughan bashing did my head in as well. And I dread him coming on to the TMS commentary....

Yes, he's getting a bit much. I can't believe they've been phasing out Blowers and have left Boycott in there.

More to the point, though - scorerfulness, great word!
