[chunkylover]

Healy just said when commentating about potential lead tonight more importantly tonight at 7:30 big room reveals on the block. MORE IMPORTANTLY, MORE ******* IMPORTANTLY!!! what a compmete campaigner

 

[Kools]

Does anyone here know the track played on Channel nine during today's play against New Zealand?

Did Ian Smith just call Brayshaw 'Tacitus'?

Should have called him Biggus Dickus...

Neesham's tweets are good value.

Neesham's tweets are good value.

He might be posting in this thread soon. Some of the things he has said about the 9 commentary team is gold.

Apparently it's a flat pitch

Shane Warne will be back in Adelaide to tell us about the pizza he ate in America and what a success the hasbeens series was but probably nothing about this http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2015-11-14/shane-warne-charity-under-investigation/6941516

He's frustrating, as when he actually decides to talk about the game itself, tactics, mind games etc he is great to listen to. Unfortunately you have to wade through all the stuff you mentioned first.

This is why brad McNamara needs to be taken out the back of CH9 studios and clubbed with a blunt instrument

With the probable exception of Slater, who I think is beyond help, all of the nine commentators are actually capable of insightful analysis. Yes, even Healy - especially on wicket keeping.

But rather than be encouraged to provide intelligence they go the other way, presumably by the likes of McNamara and we get the inane dribble that has become the summer staple

Are you telling me that Dave Warner owns a horse and he jumps however high isn't intelligent?

What scares me is there are people out there that think it is

Slater's pre-start batting demos and explanations are good, as that is his area of expertise so I am quite happy to listen to this thoughts there. The same with Healy and keeping etc.

It's all the blokey, back-slapping, sycophantic shite that is incredibly annoying. The World Cup roster of commentators from all over the world was brilliant.

They all can commentate serviceably, you only have to hear them work for other broadcasters the rest of the year to know that. As that guy who made Brad McNamara a household name pointed out Nine clearly direct them to act like dickheads.

when slats was first on the scene, he was very insightful. however now his voice is as painful to listen to as a fat bogan chick getting railed in the back of a nightclub toilet

Did I just hear Chappell say " Stop rolling around in your grave Richie ? "

 

[Father Jack]

They don't even interrupt their promos for non-cricket related s**t when the ball is being bowled now.

 

[beston]

I'm sure Steve Smith gets sick of them trying to talk to him via the earphone radio!

 

[boncer34]

I wish they'd let us know if Smith should declare.

 

[Chuckie357]

Ian Healy bars up as soon as a wicketkeeper is on screen or about to be spoken about. Makes
Me think of Seal from the voice

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Know the game is over. Been told to talk filler s**t.

Wrong wrong wrong. Why are we wasting time taking him anywhere.

why does it need to be blunt?

Talking about McCullum's Black Caviar bat, Smith's not much better.

Brayshaw "Williamson is one of the greats because he can come in no matter what the situation is and play his natural game even if there is nothing to be gained". Piss off back to the Botox clinic!
