Test Match Sofa is an online radio station providing cricket commentary for all England test matches[2]. The station is available worldwide[3] serving as alternative commentary to the BBC's Test Match Special which is only available in the United Kingdom[4].
The station began broadcasting from the Tooting Bec home of one of the station's creators, Daniel Norcross[5], but moved to a rented house in Nunhead, also in South London, in August 2010.
The commentary is uncensored and partial, usually in favor of England, or anyone playing against Australia[6]. Listeners interact with the show's commentators through Twitter, with this interaction often influencing the agenda[7].
