Who was the previous commentator?
 
Richard Rae. Yet to find the story anywhere else, or that he is a millionaire (journalists are not usually known for making a lot of money).

Richard Rae owns a flat in London a house in Leicester and in Spain he was educated at Stamford school one of the most elite public schools in the Country.His 3 children were also educated there so yes he's a millionaire .
 
I listened to the last knockings of the Notts match yesterday where the subject of Richard Rae's termination was referred to a few times. There seemed to be an air of surprise and disappointment and Rae said that he had no involvement in the discussion or decision and specifically that no-one from the station spoke to him before or since the decision was made, which seems remarkable.

Incidentally, he didn't sound particularly posh to me, so I don't really get the Donald Sinden reference.
 
SteveYork, Likewise, I was listening yesterday morning, you could tell RR was put out and wanted to say more.
I will have a word with my source at the weekend, you Roofers deserve to know more.

An old friend of mine also went to Stamford school, and he’s definitely not a millionaire.
What are the chances ?

Not sure they would have taken his sons. at Cheltenham Ladies.Dave Fletcher the Derby cricket commentator said on comms that Zak Chappell attended Stamford and it was the most expensive public school in the UK after the big 3.He may have been wrong but it's certainly up there
 
Seems a strange time to lose a first class commentator if that is the case. He has a superb voice for the game and the medium as well as good knowledge of the game. The lad was AW was a comm several times with him last season so ...
Why does it matter where he was educated or has property?
