Rate a Commentator - Michael Slater

Channel 9 needs a huge makeover. They need to poach a few from ABC.

Damien Fleming would be great, amongst others.

Honestly I don't think it's strictly a matter of personnel (other than Healy), it's the same issue with footy commentary, they're instructed by Nein to be massive biased cheerleaders so it wouldn't matter who you brought in since they'd be toeing the party line ("OHHHH BABY THAT'S ROCK N ROLL CRICKET FOR YAS!") very quickly.

In cricket I don't mind if cricket commentators for whatever country are biased just as long as they aren't flogs about it and show respect along with giving credit to the opposition. Bill Lawry is the perfect example.

maybe b/c he's commentating with the female cricketers and not the blokes, but he seems more subdued and professional for the WT20 thus far. Much better!!
