  1. ^ a b The Chappell brothers (Greg and Ian) are grandsons of Vic Richardson.
  2. ^ The idea of providing complete ball-by-ball coverage of a Test match was conceived by Hudson whilst commentating with Fred Trueman on a county game at Scarborough in 1955, as a result of which Test Match Special went on air two years later.[69]
  3. ^ Also known as 'Mr Cricket' due to his encyclopedic knowledge of the game.
  4. ^ Often referred to using the nickname 'Bumble'.
  5. ^ The first ever broadcast coverage of a cricket match anywhere in the world – a testimonial game for Charles Bannerman (1851–1930) at the SCG between two teams from New South Wales[7]
