Peter Baxter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The organising brain behind test match special, he has produced the programme for 29 years.
Baxter joined the BBC in September 1965 after a spell in British Forces Broadcasting.

In tandem with his work on cricket he was also the University Boat Race producer throughout the 1980s.

He has co-ordinated the BBC's cricket coverage from every one of the Test-playing nations, with the exception of Bangladesh, and has also been part of the commentary team himself.

There have been many amusing moments over the years, but being locked out of the ground at Galle two years ago was not one of them.

BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew eventually watched the action from a nearby fort.
