I loved the Kerry O'Keefe quote from that article:

I loved the Kerry O'Keefe quote from that article:
Cleavy
Hall of Famer
did KO'K follow up with a tweet of his own laughter at that joke?
Analysing the height of Warner's jump when he celebrates a ton?
C'mon man!
C'mon man!
Seriously, James Brayshaw seems to confuse commentating cricket with blowing smoke up Australian cricketers' arses. All he does is gush over whoever's batting or bowling at the time. He's doing it now in reference to Mitch Marsh FFS!

Had to laugh at the poll they ran concerning Warner's total. The lowest option was 270. How many did he make in the end?
Oh, and all that crap about how high he jumped. They have become a full-on self parody troupe.

Just wondering if any members of the Marsh family are at the cricket today?

Did I just see one of them draw a penis (with ballsack) on the pitch?

"Kane Williamson. It's Steve Smith-esque, Warner-esque, Bradman-esque"
One of these things is not like the other.

What? JB brings up a legitimate discussion point in world cricket: Are Australian cricket pitches in the last two years too flat? This could lead to genuine and intelligent discussion on the world game? Proper analysis even. Maybe even criticism of Cricket Australia?! This could be interesting....
No.
Three of the last five Tests in Australian have provided a result. Pitches in other countries are flat too. Nothing to see here. I wonder if Kane Williamson will jump like David Warner does when he reaches 100?

Do even the most blindly patriotic Australians enjoy the pom-pom waving commentary?
Now that NZ are batting well and it looks like we won't roll through them it's all about the pitch. Too flat, too docile, nothing in it for bowlers, where's the contest between bat and ball etc
Bringing up graphics to show the +500 1st innings scores in the last 6 home tests. As if this has just occurred to them.
They're right of course. But barely a mention of this over the last two days.
Plumbing new depths every year this McNamara led troupe of Girl Guides.

No. I hate it. It's embarrassing. The fanboy gushing over every Australian player in literally cringeworthy it's that creepy.
A real Heals Special today: "Why doesn't Ross Taylor lay his bat down and do a Haka for us? Hey? A bit of Cummety Hummety?" 
Plumbing new depths of muppetry with that commentA real Heals Special today: "Why doesn't Ross Taylor lay his bat down and do a Haka for us? Hey? A bit of Cummety Hummety?"
Now Taylor is doing the Porky Pig impersonations - thank god Williamson is providing 1st rate entertainment

i mentioned in the radio thread that katich loved willows celebration, that was understated and humble, unlike warners.
We probably need to take a moment to appreciate Mike Hussey, who is still yet to fall under the sway of McNamaraism.
