I swear Mel can barely speak this series. Haven't ever noticed it before so it might be new but she's slurring and stammering all over the shop. Makes Daisy Pearce look like Isa Guha.
Its nothing new.

Its why I wonder so many people rate her. I can only assume they are only looking at her and not listening to her, as her sentences frequently run into each other, she slurs words and gets things flat out wrong far too often

"She's no Isa Guha" is almost a backhanded compliment, given that Guha is the gold standard of female commentators, in both ability and appearance.

(I might be low-key in love with Guha)

It'll sound harsh, but if Mel was average looking, I doubt anyone would pay any positive attention to her as a commentator/host, and would probably knock her abilities a lot more.

I do find it hard to get past that bogan accent more than anything. She sounds like a 50-year-old "darl" working in a local chip shop.

Mel's a complete airhead but is obviously there as eye candy.

Her voice is so soothing.

Just announced that Indian citizens no longer need a visa to enter the country in an effort to cross bread with Australians in the hope they pass on their cricketing genes to our children.
Hate to burst that lefty triggering bubble of yours, but it's really not much of a zinger and not exactly prize 'lefty' bait either.

But yeah hahahaha them triggered lefty SJWs cucks!
