Vaughan is on the radio, isn't he, not television? A TMS legend, in fact. Just yesterday, he volunteered to do any and all test match coverage in Ireland.

Atherton is thoughtful and insightful - which makes a pleasant change on Sky, which has a wearisome addiction to :shudder: 'banter'. I blame David Lloyd for this - a man who I would happily see fall off the commentary gantry to his doom.
Vaughan does have interesting things to say and is clearly reads the game very well. Bit too blokey sometimes, but there you go. Hussain is again too banterish - and his voice grates.
He's basically become the modern-day equivalent of Fred Trueman on TMS, who used to spend most of his time fulminating that "Ah joost dern't oonderstand it!" about something (a fielding position, the failure to bowl a certain bowler, etc, etc), only to almost invariably be proved wrong by subsequent events. Botham is basically that now - always blustering Blimpishly about something perfectly sensible because it's not what he'd do. Wànker.
