Classic View From The Boundary on BBC Sounds.

Hello, welcome to another classic View From The Boundary in our series celebrating 40

years of this iconic feature. I'm Jonathan Agnew. And down the years we've welcomed athletes

from many different sports of the commentary box all connected by their love of cricket.

I did, yeah. And morning was Texan actually when I went in, so I've not even changed.

But yeah, it was, I mean it was, absolute now by the way, I wasn't. I think the boys
