Tell him he's doing a great job.
Can't stand the footy show/MMM style crap on 9.
I think the success of BB will see them review it.

How's it rating?
I like the coverage although they do get carried away sometimes and forget there's a game on.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - dodge - 01-02-2016
The big difference is that 20/20 is entertainment that happens to be cricket and the commentary reflects that really well- it doesn't matter if the aren't 45 replays of one ball, or that they don't always talk about what we can obviously see. Test cricket is a game first and entertainment second, with the commentary being neither.
I don't know if I could listen to 6 hours of 20/20 commentary on a test match, but I do know I can't listen to the current ch 9 efforts.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - ElwoodBlues1 - 01-02-2016
I like Adam Gilchrist and Damien Fleming commentating in the BB but Mark Waugh winds me up and all I see is a horse racing scam artist and Ricky Ponting says little of value while sucking on his Swisse Multivites.....Andy Maher and Mark Howard wouldnt know one end of a bat from the other and Freddie Flintoff should have been left in the African Jungle with a few other celebs..
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - cimm1979 - 01-03-2016
agree with most of that EB.
Freddys routine wears a bit thin pretty quick.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - ElwoodBlues1 - 01-03-2016
England the lazy 629 vs the Saffies....Stokes 258, Bairstow 150...the Saffies have really come back to the field...to be fair no Steyn and Philander but both those two probably dont have long in the long format of the game...
Stokes I rate(128 in one session???) but if little Jonny is making 150 then you know times are tough in SA cricket....
Graeme Smith might get that phone call to come back very soon IMO....
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 01-04-2016
The next tier of players simply haven't come on EB, Faf and Duminy just aren't consistent enough.
Maybe Broad and Ali are better than people give them credit for.
On another topic Maxwell etal. Like to bag Melbourne weather. How much time was lost to drizzle in the last test Jim?
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Bear - 01-04-2016
Can't stand Jim Maxwell... should be pensioned off.

No Depth in the Saffie local comp Prof...and they are disadvantaged by the quota system...
Broad is an excellent player and a bloke like Ali is very handy but they have not had much to beat...
Jim Maxwell is probably due for retirement...

England and Australia are probably the best two teams around at the moment. Saffers are struggling and I don't include India while they cheat and doctor up their wickets. No that many sides are playing well away, India are really ordinary away from home.
