5 Reasons Cricket On The Radio Is Better Than TV
3. Radio Is A Better Reflection Of The Game Itself
To listen to cricket on the radio is to listen to a patchwork quilt of quirky characters. There’s the dressing room wag, the imperial relic, the grifter, the northern straight talker, the brain, the statto. It’s just like all the best changing rooms, I’ve ever sat in – a mad, bad democracy of sorts, where everyone’s views are respected, regardless of where they come from.
There just isn’t the same texture on the TV. They’re all too similar. Too alpha. Too buttoned-up. Too successful. It’s just not cricket.
