Was literally joking to Dave about TMS, only to open NetNewsWire and find out from the TMS feed that Bill "The Bearded Wonder" Frindell passed away during the week. My open-mouthed admiration for the broadcasting anomaly that is Test Match Special has been alluded to before, and the joy to be gained from listening to a group of people lounging around cricket grounds tossing out stats and commentary willy-nilly on Radio 4 LW is unique in itself. However, Bearders was one of the best; it was a recurring highlight every time he came out with the answer or factoid that no one else could land on, delivered with pitch-perfect timing and wit.Here's some Bearders gold that TMS have pieced together.
