Excellent

Just a wonderful commentator and person. Have listened to him on tv and radio. Honest funny articulate and eccentric. All you need to be happy. He has made my life so much better and my wife who does not understand cricket loves him to listen to him. Just for the funny bits.

Tickle my funny bone.

Johnner's was always a great cricket commentator and made so many games come to life, even when rain stopped play. This book contains some of his well known and loved gaffes and plenty of giggles.
