Yeah, but honestly, he was never going to get that job in the end.

Richie still hadn't forgiven him for when he hijacked the commentary box and it took a bloody SWAT team to get him out of there. ;)

What happened there?
 
Why was Max Walker sacked from channel 9 in the first place? Was it because he said something about World Series Cricket and then Packer gave him the chop?

Ahh yes - the Maxaphone.

She's a little bit messy though - pass us a tissue Zippy.

But yes, why did Max lose his job (in real life) from the commentary team? Rod Marsh went to radio. But again there I don't know if it was a push or a shove. I was too young at the time to know any better :(

Ohh, Hi Rob, lucky you caught me, I just came back from my early morning jog!

Max got sacked because he is an idiot.
 
I thought Max was alright, the 12th Man's parodies are gold: "Left foot, right foot, left, then the right, in pretty quick succession - Theres that familiar right foot combination" - illustrates the fact that he said some really stupid s**t. Sorry Matt I cant give you a real answer, I would like to know as well, but my guess is he just couldnt cut it at first class commentary level. He spent another 6-8 years hosting Wired World of Sports though, maybe he was more of an anchor type.
 
Probably my favourite Max Walker commentary moment was a ODI at (I think) the WACA. The batsmen got hit on the body and had the wobbles a bit, so Maxie said he had a d1cky knee... the replay immediately then showed the batsmen was hit on the box... good choice of words. :D
 
For turds sake, does anyone know why he was sacked from channel 9?
