Channel 9 commentary whinge thread 2013

[Mr Meeseeks]

I bet you regret that comment now !!

I stand by it. Thought he was fine.

 

[Parquet Court]

mark taylor said it the most, he actually referred to him by that 3-4 times during one of his commentary stints.

 

[trickyonne]

Mark Taylor and Ian Healy are w***ers.

 

[The Speaker]

Because JIM JB BRAYSHAW needs to give people NICKNAMES to make the games EXCITING for IDIOTS.

Brayshaw didn't create the nickname.

 

[eltrain]

Mark Taylor and Ian Healy are ******s.

Liked Tubby's work during the test series but he must have come down with a serious case of the Healy/Slater disease.

True, but my point about commentators using stupid nicknames is still valid.

Can't think of a single commentator in the world who doesn't use nicknames.

Whateley, maxwell ?

Shrug. My point is, most of them do. Only a few cop stick for it.

Most of them are shit too. Pretending all the players are your mates is one big reason for it.

Just when other TV stations are starting to grasp the idea of using their digital channels to provide live sports coverage, Ch 9 have reverted to type and given us today's ODI on a three hour delay so it fits neatly either side of the news.

Not happy Jan. Get with the times you stinking stone-age brutes.

They won't. They treat the consumers like morons who will watch no matter whenever and in what format they choose to broadcast. Only way they'll get the message is if viewers drop off.

the nba commentators use nicknames occasionally, but majority of the time its the players surname. in fact they'll use nicknames after the action has happened.

 

[King Elvis]

Sure they do Northy.

If the numbers drop, they will then say their decision to delay the telecasts are justified because people aren't watching. You cannot argue with an executive type, they think they know everything.

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Slater pls

 

[Tassieboy]

Slater used to be a really good commentator when he started out around 2004 in India. Was never really one for hyperbole and was insightful. Now he's just trying to be a comedian which is annoying.

FAULKNER will miss the next game because a burst ear drum. thanks to michael slater screaming at him

 

[CakeEater]

Anyone hear Slater make fun of Morgan's Irishness when he scored the century, was very unprofessional.

FFS. Nobody can ruin a big moment like this ******* Syd. Absolute embarrassment to us as Australian cricket fans when you consider how many people watch these games from overseas.

Just imagine how amazing tonight's game would have been if Bill Lawry was behind the mic at the key moments like in seasons past...

People in this thread seriously underestimate how much the producers enforce this behaviour, rather than it coming entirely from the commentators themselves.

and they seem to think the viewing public love it

Do you watch much overseas sport?

If you did, you would notice that very few commentators refer to players by their nickname or variations on their given name or surname. It is pretty much an Australian thing and it's bloody annoying.

 

[peternorth]

dressup day?

slater. wtf
