It doesn't really bother me these days either way, but when I was a kid that was the stuff I wanted to listen to.I like Ponting..but if Richie was around I think he just might put a muzzle on him. Talks way way way tooo Much. Knowledgeable no doubt ..but I do not need the technique of every batsman broken down into the minute detail that he goes into.
I loved the batting and bowling analytics and hated a lot of the general chit chat about things that happened in the 70's or 80's
