2012/13 Nine Commentary team bagging thread

[Parquet Court]

mark nicholas to slats re: clarke

"do you think the bradman comparisons are going too far?"

slats : " No, not at all"

hyperbole

 

[JUBJUB]

Did Bill just have a potshot at Healy,who is commentating with him ?
He said "Australia has been lucky in recent times with wicketkeepers like Gilchrist,Haddin and Wade who can also make runs"

 

[Kram]

Oh god I hope so.

[Mr Meeseeks]

Nine are blaming the Government for not showing Cricket in High Def. Right...

I think they might be right. We're getting the channel 9 feed here in the UK and it is in full HD...

Brayshaw is a dick.

he is more qualified to be commentating on cricket then football

thats right, played a handful of games for WA, father was a WA cricketing legend.

dont mind him too much, you just get the feeling he could yell "sausage" at any moment

And played more than a handful for South Australia.

[The Passenger]

he's got a pretty decent first class record. FC average of 42 would get you almost a walkup start in the test team now.

Do tend to agree, but he seems a bit more subdued in tests, though I'm yet to hear him commentate this summer. Most of my cricket "watching" thus far has been via the radio this summer.

He's near unbearable in one dayers and 20 over games, though I don't watch to much of them anyway.

Why would the order he commentates on them matter?

I recall that Dennis Commetti called some cricket when 7 showed the Australian tour of South Africa back in '97. (I think David Hookes and Drew Morphett were there too) Fox8 showed the games live and screened Simpsons in the lunch breaks (this was when Foxtel had no commercials). Good memories!

Used to do some ABC commentary.

 

[Plugger35]

I don't mind Brayshaw as a cricket commentator, he's actually quite knowledgeable about the game and injects a bit of humour. Probably more suited to T20s and ODIs but I don't mind him commentating the odd test match just for a change from the usual Nine commentators. Unfortunately he usually replaces Richie or Bill rather than Healy or Slater.

One of very few players to take 10 wickets in a Sheffield Shield innings.

Ian Brayshaw was a very handy allrounder. And I used to enjoy his radio commentary as well.

 

[sherb]

James Brayshaw 4934 f-c runs @ 42.53 with 10 hundreds and 29 fifties
Ian Brayshaw 4325 f-c runs @ 31.80 and 178 f-c wickets at 25.08

I'd say James Brayshaw knows enough about the game to be a commentator.

 

[peternorth]

have a shot everytime slater says "davey warner"

 

[Illinois Nazi]

James Brayshaw 4934 f-c runs @ 42.53 with 10 hundreds and 29 fifties
Ian Brayshaw 4325 f-c runs @ 31.80 and 178 f-c wickets at 25.08

I'd say James Brayshaw knows enough about the game to be a commentator.

Certainly better qualified than "was in the Australian team for a long time" which seems to be the standard everyone else has been picked on.

Holy Jesus, Ian Healy talks total sh!t 100% of the time...some of it is just plain weird..

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

Enjoying Brett Lee, been a solid addition

Actually agreed with him on the Smith DRS when Nicholas said he hadn't hit it.

 

[Kram]

Maybe 9 could get Hansie Cronje across for the Perth Test? What alias is he using these days?

Really? He's like every cricketer in interviews, sprouting out cliches
