We like bagging commentators, and public figures in general, but when it's a woman it feels mean so there's no fun in it. It's like watching NRLW. Seeing opposition NRL players get belted is part of the fun, but when it happens in NRLW I feel bad for them.
I notice Kelli Underwood gets bagged relentlessly in the other code from those fans for her TV commentary and i don't feel bad for her.

I saw a youtube clip once where she called the Western Sydney side as the orange team have kicked a goal.

Like how unprofessional is that.

I think having some involved adds to the coverage of League in general. I have my doubts over Emma as a caller though, tbh I think her voice will get annoying.

Isa Guha is as good as any ball to ball caller in cricket these days
Keep Guha away from the T20s/BBL.

Tests & ODIs she is fine at a slower pace.

Recent BBL she was horrendous didn't suit her personality or style she has molded in her career so far.

She is ok, but gone backwards in recent times IMO

Horrid during white ball cricket, sounds like that clown Enis

fake overhyped and annoying

That shit creeping into her test cricket coverage as well, she often isn't as prepared as she should be

Dont know if this over the top calling is something they feel they need to do , or its been asked of them to do

Womens cricket give me Mel Jones or Alison Mitchell over Isha in every coverage . Those two wont be everyone's cup of tea but I prefer then easily over Isha in terms of womens callers

Ehh…. Call me sexist if you like (I’m not, but suit yourselves) but I dislike women commentating a male sport. Get them to commentate the NRLW, sure, sideline duties for NRL if you have to - but i just don’t like it - personal preference I guess. Hate it in the EPL too.

Thank god I got kayo

She is a very good commentator and also commentates on Tennis in Pommie land.

Midge did a pretty good job this summer as well. Both are very knowledgeable, and I have no issues with women commentating. Their gender is irrelevant to mine, if they are good enough, that's all that matters.

I mainly only watch test cricket mate and she suits that to a tee. Those other women are also very good from the little I have seen of them.

Agree Re Healy comments above also she was fantastic. That will be her gig moving forward.
