The “alternative cricket commentary” isn’t strictly speaking a blog (it would be in the top 2 for cricket commentaries though!), although it does contain the musings of Dan Norcross - Test Match Sofa’s very own answer to Jonathan Agnew – on the Sofa’s blog pages.
However, as we’ve written before Test Match Sofa actually saved our lives when we were desperately scrabbling around to hear commentary of the momentous Newlands Test of 2010, so it would be wrong not to include the Sofa here.
The popularity of the Sofa has soared since its inception in the 2009 Ashes series and we’re not surprised given that it is a worthy alternative to the more austere Test Match Special, which of course is practically an institution.
Unlike, some of the Sofa’s listeners, we’re also big fans of the ‘other TMS’ and the fact that we share our loyalty between the two is perhaps the biggest statement of our appreciation of the Sofa.
The blog itself, which although not updated quite as often as we would like, is just like Dan’s commentary – articulate, amusing, sometimes controversial and intrinsically English.
