Jonathan Agnew: My Ten Moments that Shaped Modern Cricket

Jonathan Agnew has spent his professional life at extremely close quarters to cricket's tumultuous developments.

Once an international fast bowler before becoming the BBC's cricket correspondent, Aggers has seen it all unfold firsthand across three decades: ten seismic moments that make up modern cricket's defining history. Since stepping back from the daily correspondent's brief in 2024, Aggers has remained Test Match Special's senior voice—the man who has called cricket's crises as they happened, from apartheid's end reshaping the international game to the arrival of T20 and the IPL.

Now, to mark the publication of his new book, Aggers brings his own countdown to the stage for the first time. He’ll share the biggest moments that redefined the sport from the only man on the planet who was there, in person, for every single one. Expect the stories the scorecards left out—dressing-room confessions, commentary-box secrets, and the "leg over" moment voted the greatest in sporting history—with the chance to put your own questions to the man behind the microphone.

Wry, unflinching, and often surprisingly candid, this is a unique and definitive insider's account of the sport's most turbulent age told by a correspondent who has never had to imagine how it felt to be there.
