About Adam Mountford
I am the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Cricket Producer responsible for producing Test Match Special and also looking after coverage on Five Live and other ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ outlets.
Getting the chance to work with some fantastic broadcasting talent and produce such a famous radio programme is a real honour and a thrill.
I took over from Peter Baxter during the summer of 2007 after he'd done the job for 34 years - I was a one year old when he first produced TMS !
Before doing this job I worked alongside Peter for five years and have been lucky enough to have toured Sri Lanka, Pakistan, India, South Africa, the West Indies and Australia producing cricket coverage for the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳. I've worked for ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Sport since 1999 producing programmes like Five Live Sport and Sportsweek and working as the Golf producer where I was in charge of coverage of events like the Open and the Ryder Cup.
My career started in local radio as a presenter and commentator at ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Coventry and Warwickshire and Radio WM. I was fortunate to be covering the Warwickshire Cricket team in 1994 when Brian Lara became a double world record holder and the Bears won three of the four major trophies in one season.
And in case you think I have the best job in the world , remember I have to work with Geoff Boycott !
