JB played Shield for SA and WA.

Averaged 42 in first class cricket over 75 matches and just under 5000 runs. Must have some idea.

He probably does but, if so, he can't put it into words.  Perhaps if he concentrated on the cricket and not puerile attempts at humour  :-\

No question he tries way to hard to be funny or whatever.

Truth be told, he's no dummy.

He should have some idea,  but I don't get the impression he does from his on screen persona.

I miss the 9 commentators.....well some of them.  Draft in Mark Nicholas, Tubby Taylor & Mel Jones to go with Ponting, Alison Mitchell & Isa Guah & that's a decent team for mine.  Tim Lane is actually a better radio (ball by ball) commentator I think.

Slater & Fleming seem to be trying way to hard.

Flem is such a try hard it's painful.

CheatsTV is all about the bottom line and regional politics, they'll choose the cheapest of the cheap subordinates and domestics ahead of expensive foreign quality.

You'll find the yes men pulling the strings, for example in the football season having CheatsTV broadcast BT lauding derision over Lethal!

Not sure that he warrants 2nd position in front of Bradman and Taylor in the record books, but neither was I thrilled with Hayden surpassing it, especially against Zimbabwe.  335 though, is still a fine innings.

Jim..When you made that 200 in the backyard vs the local neighborhood attack it probably had more venom
than the Paki teenagers and oldies they have trotted out. Abbas looks like he is ready to play seniors cricket, Yasir is
a batting gift from the cricket gods and Iftikar couldnt turn a ball if it was attached to a jet engine.

Bradman would have made 600 vs this mob using one stump as a bat....I'm biased and want Aus winning but after a great ashes
series this is just rubbish, the quicker NZ get here and these Paki pretenders are on their way the better.
