3rd ODI: Australia v India at MCG Jan 18th 2019

[The Mad Hatter]

Not a fan of her either but I know i'm in a minority

She ticks two boxes for affirmative action and one for f**kwittery.

 

[Mr Spock!]

I particularly love her condescension.

She's only in the box because she's Indian...oh wait, English.

Why do we need women commentators again???

 

[Bazal]

Lol Maxwell.

Dumbest cricketer in the country. And that's saying an awful lot

 

[_snafu_]

Ken MacLeay wouldn’t have done that.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

We won't make 40 overs now. 190 if we're lucky.

 

[jargan83]

Well this should be an early night

 

[Bazal]

And that too her laughs seem more out of courtesy for their dumb jokes. Guha talks plenty of sense in better company.

There will always be an element that longs for cricket, and by extension society at large, to remain a male-dominated boys club unfortunately.

Well this should be an early night

not staying up till after midnight to watch the great nugget?

I don’t mind female commentators if they’re good, and the majority sadly are not.

Most male ones are shit too mind you.

I dont at all.

Give me Stalekar, Mel, any of the current Aust squad in the box. Far more insightful. Guha was alright start of the summer. Perhaps it is the company she is keeping because right now she's blurgh.

Sad thing is there are plenty of good women commentators out there and despite the new age at Fox and 7 we've still ended up with the dead shit boys clubs too.

 

[vvvrulz]

At least Max had some urgency.

 

[hineyrulz]

Maxwell is a brain dead simpleton, let’s get him into the test side stat!!

Lol really? Sthalekar is way worse than Guha for meaningless giggly crap, and Mel Jones is boring and about as insightful as a brick...anyway, you do you. I wasn't suggesting that alone was the reason you disliked Guha, but it has certainly been expressed within the last few posts by the sort of poster I expected that attitude from...

Yeah. I don't and will never see the point of picking someone just for diversity (eg MeadowLew Pastures), but I think most cricket fans enjoy Guha and rightly so. She's very good.

I'll be at Optus Stadium watching the great Matt Wade in person.

Stahlekar is one of my brother's best mates and whilst she can be prickly I've found her commentary good.

Just to finish I find Warne and Jr more irksome and three in the box is too many because it becomes a game of onedownmanship humour.

A shame we didn't see more of Mel McLachlan...

 

[hineyrulz]

Oh and how the hell is that Banana eating spastic still in the side??? Truly f**king laughable.

Because he bowled well against some guys swinging for hills in T20, it's a different kettle of fish when batsmen have an opportunity to play themselves in, evidently

Also a different kettle of fish when you have to bowl more than four overs and you haven't eaten proper protein in the last decade...
