1976. England vs West Indies at The Oval. England are 81 for 7. And Test Match Special commentary resumes after a break. The redoubtable Brian Johnston has this to relate – “The bowler’s Holding, the batsman’s Willey.”Welcome to HoldingWilley. Since nothing can equal the pleasure of playing cricket for the country, we thought we’d add something to the pure vicarious pleasure of discussing it whilst watching it with some likeminded people.We have brought together cricket fans from all around the world, all keen students of the game, to transfer their enthusiasm and knowledge of the game on each other, and on all those choosing to observe (and even participate in) their interactions. It is quite literally like being in a room full of friends of different nationalities, as they debate, vent, pontificate, illuminate, rant, grunt …whatever the cricket brings out of them.
