And now CMJ....

There always seem to be a spate of deaths in the sporting world at the end of the year and now CMJ has passed away. A shame as his voice was very distinctive, seemed to me a top bloke as well.
RIP CMJ

it's interesting (and usrprising) you dont know him in australi, because since martin johnson died i suppose he's been as much the voice of cricket over here as anyone. as bantam says, very distinctive voice :

he was editor of the daily telegraph and editor of cricketer magainze, as well as being a leading member of the TMS team for probably 30 years.
