Cricket: Commentator was high on coke, pills

Former England all rounder Dermot Reeve has admitted he had a cocaine habit so severe that he has no recollection of two days' test cricket commentary for the Channel Four team last year.

Reeve told the the Mail on Sunday newspaper he had taken a combination of alcohol and cocaine after the second day of the first test between England and New Zealand at Lord's, followed by two sleeping tablets.

"I have no recollection of seeing the ball on Saturday or Sunday. I had to watch the video of the match to hear what I said."
