Henry Blofeld's long lost Bangladeshi cousin

Isn't it a great feeling when you find that someone else has had exactly the same thought as you?

England are playing Bangladesh at cricket today. We're (England) making a pig's ear of it. The Test Match Special commentator sounded a bit familiar, yet not quite right. Then the following note appeared on the BBC site:

"Are we by any chance listening to Henry Blofeld's long lost Bangladeshi cousin in the TMS box?"

Were we the only two listeners who thought that Bangladeshi broadcaster Shamim Chowdhury was in fact Blowers trying a less-than-subtle/tasteful accent?
