In the midst of the frenetic activity of 

[Social Media Week London](http://socialmediaweek.org/london?ref=toodlepip.co.uk) 

 #smwldn, I popped along to the 

[BBC’s Sport & Social Media panel](http://livestre.am/C0zI?ref=toodlepip.co.uk) 

 and caught up with Adam Mountford, producer of every cricket fan’s audio bible, 

[Test Match Special](http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/tms/default.stm?ref=toodlepip.co.uk) 

 (TMS) – and

 on Twitter.

If you’re a fan of leather on willow – I’m talking about cricket people, stop being smutty – then this video will both inspire and annoy. Annoy – because the *daily grind* of travelling the world, watching cricket, eating cake and hanging out with cricket legends must take an awfully long time to wear thin. Inspire, because he’s, well, just such a nice chap. See for yourself…

Now I’ve spoken to Adam, I keep hearing his radio reports from the [2011 Cricket World Cup](http://cricket.yahoo.com/series/icc-cricket-world-cup%5F1241/schedule?ref=toodlepip.co.uk) that’s just started in India and Bangladesh. With the hefty time different the radio reports and podcast coverage are coming in very handy.

Talking of which, if you’re a fan of both cricket and [The Bugle](http://twitter.com/hellobuglers?ref=toodlepip.co.uk) podcast, the ginger satire monger and cricket fan, Andy Zaltzman is [covering the tournament](http://twitter.com/zaltzcricket?ref=toodlepip.co.uk), [blogging and podcasting](http://blogs.espncricinfo.com/andyzaltzman/?ref=toodlepip.co.uk) his experiences round the subcontinent. It should be entertaining, if only for the diplomatic incidents that are almost certain to transpire.
