15 Abchurch Lane, London, EC4N 7BW In association with Sporting Legends Gala Dinner An Evening with Aggers Wednesday 31st October 2012 Jonathan Agnew Join Jonathan Agnew, the former Leicestershire & England cricketer and stalwart of Test Match Special, for an evening of fine food, drink and chat about the glorious game. A fine fast bowler in his day, Aggers’ best first-class bowling figures were 9 for 70 and he took six ten-wicket hauls in 218 matches. During the 1980’s Jonathan Agnew played three Test Matches and three One Day Internationals for England before taking up his position in the commentary box. In 1987, Agnew began work with BBC Radio Leicester. He retired at the end of the 1990 season to become chief cricket writer of the Today newspaper, and was appointed BBC Cricket Correspondent at the start of the 1991 season. Agnew made his ball-by-ball commentary debut for the final Test of the 1991 season. He was also the catalyst to Brian Johnston's infamous fit of the giggles after Ian Botham was out hit wicket - after failing to get "his leg over" which has been voted "the greatest piece of sporting commentary ever" in a BBC poll. Jonathan Agnew is now one of the mainstays of Test Match Special, writes regularly for the BBC Sport website and has written a number of cricketing books. Tickets: £85 each for LCC Members / £100 each for non-members Tables of 11 – shared or group bookings available Price includes a sumptuous 3-course meal & half-a-bottle of wine per person Auction of signed memorabilia, with selected lots in support of the charity ‘Futures For Kids’ Dress: Lounge Suits Meet in @15 Bar & Restaurant from 6:30pm – seated for dinner in the Oriental Room for 7pm To book your place at this event or for general enquiries please contact: [email protected] or 0207 717 0088 .

VW 19 Numbered
No 19, August 26th 2020. The Virtual Wisdener The Newsletter of the Wisden Collectors’ Club n an ar?cle on the BBC Sport website Jonathan Agnew writes about the possible look of the England team up to the next I Ashes series. It is an interes?ng ar?cle and, for me, it throws up more concerns than ?cks. With ‘planned’ tours to Sri Lanka and India, the bang may well be in a stronger posiGon that at the beginning of the summer. Agnew praises the performances of Pope and Crawley during the recent Tests but the quesGon of Root’s poor form and his, someGmes, quesGonable captaincy are not addressed. The openers look very fragile and Agnew menGons Jennings as an opener in Sri Lanka or India as his record in the sub- conGnent is good, but a]er his Gme with Lancashire, not many Lancastrians will see him as an England opGon. He asks if Crawley could open on the same tours, but surely messing around with a player in this way is not conducive to developing a successful team. Crawleys double hundred should give him the security of the number three slot for some Gme to come. Archer has not had a great Test season and yet all the talk is of using him as a 5-6 over impact bowler. ‘Bowl as fast as you like and then come back in two hours’ voiced Phil Tufnell on TMS. I ﬁnd that disturbing. Archer's ﬁelding is good and his bang is ok, but aren’t we going back to the Monty Panesar days of playing a bowler in the hope he does what he is supposed to do… we would be playing Jofra in the hope (or belief) that he could take wickets with the new ball with high-speed destrucGve bowling..can someone show me the proof he has been consistent enough to warrant inclusion on that basis.
