I believe he's one of the commentators on BBC's Test Match Special broadcast

Yeah, he is on abc radio a bit these ashes

I dont mind him

Two (or three) points:

1. Murphy's four wickets shows how bad Cummins' captaincy was in the third test, only bowling him two paltry overs

2. First half an hour after lunch is absolutely critical, and one of these in currently has to go on and make a century for us to be a chance

True

But also when we do lose a wicket, lets not lose the next 4 wickets for 50 runs

2-3 very good partnerships at the top. and we give this chase a crack

 

[TheParraboy]

Interesting Poms saving Wood for the new ball for reverse swing to skittle some of us out

Hopefully we can play him well

I haven't been listening to ABC radio, but I do remember ABC radio simulcasting the BBC radio broadcast of Ashes tests in the UK from years gone by. Still remember the days when Henry Blofeld, Christopher Martin-Jenkins et al. were part of the Test Match Special broadcast during the Ashes.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Wood still in the sheds after lunch blud

Does a wet ball reverse? It's like they kept Wood waiting for a surprise trip to the brothel and he's cleaned the pipes out of boredom, thinking he's going to the movies.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

If we had this field Anderson has set for our quicks, five out of six balls would be speared in at the pads

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Wee Davey is f**king asking for it. He's twitching badly

 

[Mr. Shaman]

We bogging, those full tosses have to hit the boundary.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Biggest 4th innings opening partnership by Australians at The Oval.

 

[undertaker]

Australia doing well so far

still miss David "Bumble" Lloyd in the Sky Sports commentary box.

I'll take the old guard at Sky (Gower, Botham, Lloyd, Holding) over the likes of Ian Ward or Dinesh Khartik any day of the week

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Shot Davey, finally put a full toss away

[Mr. Shaman]

33 overs before bowling their best bowler. That’s the kind of dumb shit we’d do.
