Nicholas, is like Chappelli, should spend his time on written journalism as he's a great writer but extremely annoying commentator. His insight and brain appears to desert him with a mic in front of him nose.

 

[peternorth]

take. heed.

1. Develop a distinctive style.

2. Put your brain into gear before opening your mouth.

3. There are no teams in the TV world called ‘we’ or ‘they’.

4. Concentrate fiercely at all times.

5. Try to avoid allowing these past your lips: “Of course ...” “As you can see on the screen” “You know ...” “I tell you what ...”

6. Never say “That’s a tragedy or a disaster ...” — the Titanic was a tragedy, the Ethiopian drought a disaster, and neither bears any relation to a dropped catch.

7. Never ask a statement.

8. Remember the value of the pause.

9. Above all don’t take yourself too seriously, and have fun.

of the 9 ritchie rules, 9 only satisfy no.9.

I don't mind Nicholas commentary, except when he is led astray by the clowns. Let him do his stint by himself, or with the authority to take to "Slats" with a taser each time the latter is a dick. How long does a taser battery last anyway?

 

[Doodlesweaver]

He's a good presenter in terms of the pieces to camera he does for intros and at the toss, stuff like that, but in the commentary team with the knuckleheads, he is far too easily lead down the garbage path.

Not long enough, it would have to be used like the Rockingham police do on a night shift.

Can we still get Sky Sports coverage on Foxtel?

No. I'm afraid Nine has exclusive rights to the next two Ashes series in England. That's probably the reason for Nine sending comms to UK. They will probably do their own production /scoreboard graphics etc

[ioppolo]

* it. I'm out.

 

[dtm06]

Ugh. Always enjoyed the Sky commentators for the ashes. Love Botham getting fed up with England when they're playing like rubbish.

Having said that, would've been all for this if it was the old guard going over with the remainder being English.

Yuck.

When I heard that a few of the Nine guys were heading over, I was willing to give them a chance as I thought they would have been working with the Poms on Sky. But looks as though it will be a nationalistic circlejerk complete with ads after the end of every over. Ugh.

I don't give a f*^k as long as it on FTA

Lloyd would have been good to have but if they don't carry on like twats I'll take the Aussie stuff over David Gower's inaudible mumbling any day.

This. Sky's coverage of the cricket (and most sports) is second to none. Enjoyed the English commentators, the graphics, everything.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Looks like I'll be syncing up TMS with the TV then.

I thought this was standard procedure for everyone

This is Nine. They will talk weeks of irrelevant bullshit. Is Brad McNamara going too...

He's probably already there...

Coverage, graphics etc are brilliant. Commentary is only a NTTAWWTteenth better than 9. Less matey stuff, just as much bias. Botham, Bumble, Athers, Nasser.... They are just English versions of Slats, Heals and co

BBC ftw. Boycott aside, they're all brilliant.
