Yeah isn’t the old Triple M team basically the current Fox one sans JB?

James Brayshaw, Mark Howard, Brad Haddin, Greg Blewett, Merv Hughes, Mark Taylor, Sir Ian Botham and Isabelle Westbury are some of the names mentioned who'll be on MMM this summer.
Now in MMM language: JB, Howie, Hadds, Blewy, Merv, Tubby, Beefy and we'll go with Izzy for Isabelle Westbury.
I dare say there are more names to come. One can safely assume Ian Chappell won't be one of them.

Nothing excites me too much about that line up.
Don't mind JB but Howie is a pain in the arse to listen to.
Merv was embarrassingly bad on his stint on ABC last year. Maybe he'll be better in the triple M box.

The radio teams in recent years have felt really, really uninspired. Previously I was very happy with ******* off C9 and linking up my TV coverage with the radio. Now I have NFI what I should listen to when at work.
Think I’ll pass on that lineup
Andy Lee? Seriously?
Surely someone stuffed up and thought he was related to Brett and Shane

SEN's team sounds better (depending on whether you are ok with Whateley)
What did Whateley do that pissed everyone off? Always regarded him as an excellent cricket commentator, was sorry to hear he'd left the ABC
He's still good but the ego has grown and he has become more opinionated. That will draw criticism and that's fine.

With Whately isn’t his ego more of a punditry question rather than a comm one? Can understand why he’s not everyone’s cup of tea though.
overall a solid box assuming Hudson can actually commentate cricket.

Wonder what ABC’s box is like. From what I remember it had turned very meh.

Mike Atherton is a good get.

Self righteous bed wetter/ dweeb.
His knowledge is obviously outstanding but he just repeats the same talking points over and over.
I like Hudson as a cricket commentator.
Whately is a very good host and I don't mind Katich.
SEN is a long way ahead of the rest IMO.
I've always love Grandstand but they've gone a long way backwards over the last 3 or 4 years.
Maxwell and the guy with the Hawaiin shirts have become quite annoying.

He does actually know his cricket. Probably there for the comedic element as well.

Unfortunately Healy is the deal breaker for me

ABC was good as recently as a few summers ago when they had Chris Rogers, Simon Katich and Dirk Nannes.
But since I can put up with ads I'm going to be starting with SEN today.

Aggers is star, but its all downhill from there.
The best commentator for mine is Isa Guha....easily

I listened to the first half hour on the drive to work. We don't get SEN in Perth so it was a choice between either Maxwell slurring his words or JB yelling into the mic. I miss Macquarie.
