E. W. Swanton
Ernest William (Jim) Swanton CBE (11 February 1907 – 22 January 2000) was a British journalist and author, chiefly known for being a cricket writer and commentator under his initials, E. W. Swanton. He worked as a sports journalist for ''The Daily Telegraph'' and as a broadcaster for BBC Radio for 30 years. He was a regular commentator on ''Test Match Special'', easily recognised by his distinctive "fruity" voice. After "retiring" in the 1970s, he continued to write occasional articles and columns, virtually until his death.
==Early life==
Swanton was born in Forest Hill in south London, the eldest child of a stockbroker. He was a large baby and known as Jim, a diminutive of "Jumbo", from his earliest years. His father was treasurer of Forest Hill cricket club, and Swanton claimed that, whilst still a baby in his pram, he attended a cricket match at which W. G. Grace, then aged 59, scored a century for London County against Forest Hill.
He was educated at Brightlands prep school (later part of Dulwich College Preparatory School) and Cranleigh School. He did not excel at school academically or in sport, and decided to become a journalist on leaving school.
