[aussies1st]

On the back foot way too much here.

Brett Lee v Victorians

 

[Mr Angry]

This is our Haus!

 

[Red&BlackBear]

What the hell is Gambhir doing?

 

[Meth]

Hilfenhaus was entitled to bowl there...should have been allowed to

 

[Meth]

From cricinfo

"Withdraws away from his stance as Hilfenhaus delivers the ball, umpire Erasmus has a chat with Gautam, who clearly was not ready in his stance and rightly backed away"

...

 

[SharkShocked]

Healy is such a f**kn moron.

He should be well educated enough to realise that slips + people behind the bat shouldn't be pipping up when the bowler is coming in.

Meanwhile Gambhir either needs to pull out early or not at all.. that was ridiculously late.

The main reason I watch the cricket with the sound off

:lol:

It's Gambhir's responsibility to be ready. Gotta love biased commentary.

 

[SharkShocked]

You not fkn wrong.

Healy is by far and away the worst commentator across ANY sport.

I honestly cannot fathom how he still maintains a career in the media.

 

[woodyk2]

Chappell is the one that grinds my gears.

 

[Sam_the_man]

Slater is a hard listen.

 

[Hallatia]

what the commentators say sometimes annoys me, but I love the sounds of cricket and living here for so many Summers, the sounds of cricket in Australia includes these guys' voices. So for that strange reason, I like these commentators. Their voices mean the cricket season is here and happening. Could never mute because I love the sound of willow on ball

 

[redvscotty]

Langer was woeful about 2 years ago on ABC.

 

[roofromoz]

The radio commentary is infinitely better. Today is a day for the garden... love it!

That live scorer from cricinfo years ago was so spot on with the "brown nose garden gnome" comment. He definitely sounds like one.

 

[snoozer]

Man, I'm so impressed at Hilfy's come back. He always had that tendency to grab an early wicket then go hiding into his shell for the rest of the day. But now he seems to be as deadly and precise, first ball of his first spell to the last ball of his last spell. Great work and just rewards.

this^^

was pulling my hair out at his selection but jeez he's impressed.

with cummins in the wings we're not far from having a decent bowling attack.

would love to see lyon get a couple if to silence the indian guy they had on abc breakfast who doesn't rate him.


i don't want to ever see johnson again.

 

[skeepe]

Good to see Channel 9 promoting the football code they have the rights for.... oh wait.

Im not an cricket expert, but is that always possible? What if the players start chatting when the bowler is mid-delivery or just before delivery etc.??

There is always a thinly veiled sense of bias and criticism of touring sides in the Nien commentary, the ABC Radio is excellent and I enjoy listening to O'Keefe, Lawson etc.

with you brudda.

can't stand the nein com team - too many egos and farkwits.

it's abc radio or zeppelin, purple, stones, queen etc.
