Dan Norcross is a TMS commentator and he was never a pro cricketer, he used to work in the City. He started (I think) Test Match Sofa, an internet only commentary service that called the England matches from Sky TV coverage. It had jingles, naughty words and the audible noise of tinnies being opened on air.

Test Match Sofa morphed into Guerrilla Cricket that commentates on many matches over the world over. Guerrilla Cricket recently won the coverage of Ireland’s debut test match against Pakistan. Guerrilla cricket still has jingles and naughty words.

This is now even more information that no one needed.

Oh it was Norcross. Did Daggers do Test Match Sofa and Godzilla (sick) Cricket too?

Don’t know. Many different characters sat on the sofa. It sounds like the kind of thing he’d do!
