About this listen

 Brian Johnston, known to everyone as Johnners, was as well known for his on-air gaffes as for his Test Match Special commentaries. Here are his most famous and funniest cricketing mishaps, which have been chosen by his son, Barry. Among Johnners’ laugh-out-loud clangers are ‘joined by the Balls’, ‘sitting on a shooting stick’ and a streaker’s ‘cheeky performance... waving her flag and other things’. There’s also Mr Titt’s letter... More giggles from the archives include Johnners’ notorious Ashes comedy song, his appearances on Quote, Unquote and Trivia Test Match, plus Fawlty Towers insights from John Cleese. From leg-pulling to leg-overs, inflatable parrots to chocolate cake, this special recording is not just for cricket lovers, it’s for anyone who loves a laugh!©2008 BBC Audiobooks Ltd; (P)2008 BBC Audiobooks Ltd Cricket Funny

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.

Tickle my funny bone.

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.

Excellent
