Get Fleming on board!

 

[rickyp]

Channel 9 released a great piece of memorabilia from that game. 'Oh **** it', I believe was the title.

 

[damochandler]

Get Fleming on board!

no thanks. too much of a try hard

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Fleming's insight into the mechanics of bowling is worth listening to. I quite like his affable nature too.

corridor of whatever it is has been done to death and he's trying to be a comedian from it.

I find his mannerisms and sayings amusing but I think there is a great deal of knowledge underneath it all. Just like Kerry O'Keefe, seems to have a good cricketing brain but he's mainly known as a funny guy.

Yeah it has run its course, needs to shelve it.

You don't have to listen to Fleming if you don't like him.

 

[Parquet Court]

i think all in all, the new wave of commentators are just too casual.

i mean calling people by their nicknames, talking about their glory days too much etc:

you would never hear bill lawry or richie benaud call each other "billy" or "dick" or something. its getting too matey, mark nicholas keeps the formality in the presentation but is let down by everyone else bar chappell

Mmm I agree to an extent, but then again I really enjoy listening to the ABC where they all refer to Kerry as 'Skull' and all that sort of thing.

KOK does not have a brain, let alone a good cricketing brain.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Strongly disagree.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Strongly disagree.

Yeah, ok. But I'm yet to hear some deep insight from him, though. Despite all the years of listening.

I think he has quite a clever mind hidden underneath the jokes.

Fair enough, he does hide it well.

 

[Parquet Court]

He flip flops a lot

This morning he was going on about how the pitch was looking good for batting Nek minnut two balls keep low and all of a sudden it was turning into a minefield

I like him though, is quite articulate with his descriptions of cricketers abilities and he knows a heck of a lot about up and coming players, more than most I think as well.

Smart guy.

 

[threenewpadlocks]

You just need to read a couple of his books to see that he does think deeply about his past in the game, and he does throw humour into it.

 

[Belnakor]

I like him though, is quite articulate with his descriptions of cricketers abilities and he knows a heck of a lot about up and coming players, more than most I think as well.

his analysis on the day sometimes can be a bit off, however his knowledge of up and coming cricketers is second to none, seems to know about guys from all around the world in 1st class cricket.

Sounds like a dill because he is half cut all the time?

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

The blokes are commenting cricket, thats it. They are not rhodes scholars, they commentate cricket thats it. If people here think Fleming, Waugh or Channel 10 can improve what Lawry, Benaud, Greig, Slater and Healy deliver then you could be in for a rude shock.

so many whingers in this thread lol
