[Ceverton]

At least not dead or Yewtree

That was on the cards after his “paying the subs” crack

Jumping before he’s pushed is what it looks like.

Either way, it was on the cards as has been said.

Sorry to see him go as his cricket insight was always good to listen to.

Sky aren’t using his statement, just their own.

Was already leaving soon as with Mikey to retire, he's 75 in March

Had his day, think it’s the right time to finish. Used to enjoy him though.

in tears here watching that,what a bloke,all the best Bumble

 

[Sack Fatto]

Aww no...the commentary box will never be the same again. Gutted.

 

[Hetty]

Need more lasses

The rumor was they were planning on replacing him anyway, but he sped that up with his "jokes" last month.

I really enjoyed Bumble in the commentary box. Was always going to happen though with the recent comments, but losing Gower, Willis, Holding, Bumble and, to a lesser extent, Botham from Sky over the last 2 years is a big loss IMO. Ultimately the correct decision for him to go, whether it’s jumped or pushed.

At least we still have Atherton and Hussain

Time marches on, everyones so young and shiny these days. Would love Bumble and Gower on TMS, never happen but it’d be brilliant just to hear them prattle on in an old school way.

 

[TheRey]

Thank God. Used to love him but he's been getting on my tits for a while now

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Start the car

Tend to agree.
Used to look forward to his stints when the alternatives were Gower and Botham. Not particularly that fond of him this far down the line.

Yeah. I think the standard is so high within the sky team now he just comes across as a bit of a clown.

I actually really like Gower and looking forward to hearing him on BT for the next few tests.

Thats a real shame, didnt deserve to end that way
