West Indies V England (1st Test Cricket)
5 Live Sports Xtra / Radio 4 LW / Digital TV / Online - Jonathan Agnew ( 5 Overs) Arlo White (Other 5 Overs). Sir Viv Anderson (6 Overs) Vic Marks (6 Overs) and Geoffrey Boycott (6 Overs) assisting. talkSPORT - Jack Bannister Christopher Martin-Jenkins is apparently still on a ship 'somewhere in the Caribbean'. CMJ now part of the commentary team on Sports Extra. Despite the boat comment on Day 1, I guess he was delayed by the snow here as well like Sky's David Gower. Think Arlo White is just doing the updates for 5 Live now. |

BBC Radio Cymru: Alun Wyn Bevan and Kevin James
Moral of story:- Don't believe Press releases ![]() I didn't catch the full game (was at Sixways to watch In-ger-lund V Italy in the U20 Six Nations) so maybe AWB was at Perth to see how the Welsh U20s got on. Quote:
I hope Radio Wales will have its own commentary team in place. I'm sure the Celtic fans don't want to hear opposition commentators for every game. Is there really as much demand for commentary in Wales as the BBC's coverage suggests?
I still haven't got over the try Martin Offiah scored for England V Wales in the '95 World Cup Semi-Final. He was waaaayyyyyy offside when the ball was kicked to him! Last edited by Ian Cleverly : 06-02-2009 at 22:18. Reason: quoting wns_195 |

Moral of story:- Don't believe Press releases ![]() ![]() Celtic's next match is next Saturday against Salford (again on Sky) after the Wales v England six nations match. Looks like Radio Wales will have commentary (possibly 2nd half) with them being on air till 10pm after a post match phone in. I'm guessing because 2 and half hours seems an excessively long phone in? Be interesting to see what they do for Celtic's home games (being mainly played Saturdays at 6pm) in terms of commentary. You'd think when the football and Union seasons ends, this new league side would get covered every week. We shall see. Quote:
Is there really as much demand for commentary in Wales as the BBC's coverage suggests? There's nationwide coverage in English and Welsh but is there a nationwide fanbase?
The big coverage tonight though was probably because it was the teams first game. But having their only pre season friendly cancelled, having 8 players stuck in Australia till last Sunday with visa problems and the bad weather making it difficult to train and prepare this week- they were never going to compete with the current champions. Although Leeds were in first gear, to only lose 28-6 is a great effort really. They had actually won the second half till Leeds scored a try with 10 seconds left. |

I guess there is. The Crusaders were going into PR overdrive prior to the League opener. For obvious reasons RW don't really have a League expert, so would have to rely on general commentators rather than specific people. |

If anyone has a spare half an hour you'll be able to hear how Ian Robertson was ticked off by the head of BBC Sport at the time with his commentary of Wales V England in 1999 as part of Max Boyce's 6 Nations. You'll also hear bits of 1971 (or was it '73 I can't remember off-hand) commentary of Scotland V Wales
