Certified Legendary Thread The absolute brilliance that is the C9 commentary team. CC: Brad McNamara

[Hudu Gurusingha]

I think he would make a good bowling coach/assistant coach as well, just seems like sort of bloke you would love to have around our new generation of quicks.

He has been through all the ups and downs injury wise that our new lot are going through right now and he just seems like a great team man, a man who knows the importance of the bowlers hunting as a pack with a clear plan.

Harris is on his way to being an international coach. He is doing all his coaching quals and shadows Boof. He is already well qualified. He's open about that being the direction he wants to head once he finishes up playing.

They should bring back Max Walker.

Under the name "Mike Walker"

 

[damochandler]

I wonder how long it will take before Nine are throwing the buckets of cash at Skull to coax him out of retirement?

he hasn't retired really. he signed with 2gb

 

[Power Raid]

Just put Symonds in there with a couple of six packs = Profit.

it would be worth taking the risk. no doubt brilliant ratings and again no doubt it would end in tears.

but it would all be worth it.

Srs? Nails on a chalkboard. Thank f*ck Mark Waugh is a selector now.

i left his name off that list for a reason, not because he is a selector, but just an all around terrible commentator!

I wish it ended in tears more often in the nein box. They just cheerlead for favourite players or or make incomprehensible noises.

Waugh seems to be able to really wind up Victorians so he isn't all bad.

 

[damochandler]

just be glad dean jones isn't in the channel o9 stable. painful very painful

is it me or are only victorians the only people in the worl that call people by their full name including their middle name

 

[Chaisa]

Listening to Jones and Morrison makes me long for the days of Healy/Slater.

Has anyone solved the mystery as to how Brad McNamara landed a commentary gig?

That article says he's the EP of C9 cricket... That's why he's commentating, but no idea how he got the EP role

What did people think of Meg Lanning's commentary?

Didn't mind it myself, fairly unobtrusive and as the article mentioned gelled well with Tom Moody when they were on together.

Pretty crap. She barely spoke and even then it was only to state the obvious

Wasn't as annoying as Slats or Heals so that is a bonus. She's just unnoticeable.

Why do people like him so much? What's so great about deadpan?

 

[Kram]

It's light years better than peanuts that just dribble s**t is why.

Waugh winds up every one that is not from NSW

 

[bombersfan4000]

because the other commentators that nine have are that bad!

there was an article about channel 9 even asked him if he wasn't going to go around again for another season, would he consider commentating the games from his home

I love Richie's insights into the game without feeling like he needs to a blokey mate of the players.

But I reckon most casual cricket watchers actually think he's like the 12th Man version of him.

 

[Marstermind]

Well may we whinge about the Channel 9 commentators....but nothing is as bad as Danny Morrison.

dean jones?

 

[Marstermind]

dean jones?

Both speak s**t. But Morrison would sound like he's speaking s**t even if he wasn't.

So what do we want? What's our TV Commentary dream-team? You're at home and have to watch all 5 days of a big Test. ho do you want? Let's say we have 7-8 commentators. All must be currently commentating regularly somewhere in the world on TV.
