Two blows to the world of cricket with the deaths of two very different characters.
The brash, larger than life, Greig, a saffer who captained England, ruffled feathers and ditched his adopted country for Kerry Packer's cash.
CMJ, a knowledgeable journaliat and a real gentleman.
Both will be sadly missed, and both were too young when they died.

I'll miss CMJ trying to get a mobile phone signal on his hotel's TV remote.

I haven't listened to TMS for about ten years because neither of my last two motors has a radio that picks up long wave transmission.
I've tried that 603mw transmission but the reception is absolutely shocking in West Yorkshire.
I still miss it.

One of the very best things about the DAB format is listening to TMS with no background noise.

I listen online. CMJ always brought a bit of gravitas to what could otherwise be quite schoolboyish broadcasts.

I hadn't thought about that. Now I just have to work out how to get on the internet from my mobile phone.
