At the crease

Mildly surprising to hear cricketer David Gower present the sports bulletins on the Radio 4 Today programme this morning. His contract as a commentator and summariser with Sky Sports is coming to an end.

Who suggested the Today gig ?  Sarah Sands, Today editor, 58, was born in Cambridge to parents in the Colonial Service, but spent her formative days in Tunbridge Wells.  David Gower, 62, was born in Tunbridge Wells; his father was in the Colonial Service....

Meanwhile, in the paywalled Times, columnist Matthew Parris reveals that the BBC is recruiting panellists to set up auditions for a new presenter for Any Questions ? This will come as bad news to current replacements filling behind Jonathan Dimbleby, who left at the end of June.
