Can Anyone Hear Me? cover

Test Match Special producer Peter Baxter presents tales of commentating capers from the Gabba to Eden Park in New Zealand.

For 34 years from 1973 Peter Baxter was BBC producer of the hugely popular Test Match Special, and during that time he reported on Test matches from around the world. This funny and revealing book takes us behind the scenes as Baxter and his much-loved TMS colleagues do battle with local conditions and sometimes bizarre red tape to bring back home the latest news of England's progress (or otherwise) on the field.

The stories are told with avuncular warmth and no little charm. -- Rob Smyth, The Cricketer
This diverting book relates [Baxter's] tales of the trials and tribulations of the job ... the characters he shared press boxes with -- Roderick Easdale * Country Life *
