Pentangle and some of their stuff though. Pentangle! Light flight - was the theme for Take three girls! Which one of the three did you fancy! I was an Avril fancier.

Mr Jansch got a very long obit on the BBC just before 18:30. Think it was R4 but might have been 5live - was channel hopping. Reply to this message | Report message

That "quote" came from the 1976 west indies tour of England, 5th match at the oval. Graham Diley was not playing in that match Reply to this message | Report message

Shame he wasn't - we might have been able to bowl them out twice. www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/current/match/63167.html Reply to this message | Report message

No-one has been able to come up with a recording of Brian saying the famous line about holding the batsmans willey, and the thought is it was never said., Reply to this message | Report message

"The batsman's Holding, the bowler's Willey." Brian Johnston. As mentioned further up the thread. Last edited by: Manatee on Thu 6 Oct 11 at 07:33 Reply to this message | Report message

Its a myth, it was never said. Johnston denied saying it, Reply to this message | Report message

He would, wouldn't he?It was a bit awkward! It depends which source of information you give credit to. "Although a colleague of Johnston's, Henry Blofeld, recalls the incident occurring during a test match at The Oval in 1976." (Wiki) Reply to this message | Report message

No. I think there is general agreement that it doesn't exist. Johnston says he didn't say it, Blofeld says he heard him say it. So we shall never know, or care, one way or the other. End of. Last edited by: Meldrew on Thu 6 Oct 11 at 15:29 Reply to this message | Report message

If it happened on live radio then presumably there would be a tape - even if only an illicit one. The 'legover' one is aired pretty frequently. Reply to this message | Report message

I recall the commentary team talking about this alleged incident a few years after it was supposed to have happened. The impression I formed was that several in the box at that time thought it didn't happen, but none were certain if it did or did not. Reply to this message | Report message
