David Lloyd retires from commentary.

Sad day indeed that Bumble has given it away. Maybe he will do stuff on so many of these great cricket podcasts that are popping up regularly like The Final Word, Guerilla Cricket, Cricbuzz etc and we can still hear his take on the game.

During the 2010-11 Ashes tour, just before the ODI in Adelaide, I ran into Bumble at the start of Rundle Street, just after Rundle Mall and we talked cricket as we walked all the way down to East Tce as he was going PJ O'Briens and I was going to the Stag Hotel. It was a fun chat for 10 minutes or so, but he was very harsh on a young Uzzie Khawaja and questioned his technique.

Even though I knew his nickname was Bumble and came from looking like characters on UK kids TV, I tended to call him Bumbles, as he seemed to make inoffensive bumbles and stumbles in his commentary.


As a Springsteen fan, I really enjoyed this bit of commentary, and watching Nasser Hussain absolutely losing it.
