Ch 9 commentary team

[Engine]

Who would you keep out of this lot?

Ritchie Benaud - keep the old fossil.
Tony Greig - I cannot stand the wanker. Boot him!!!
Bill Lawrie - I like his voice when he screams. It sounds like someone is squeezing onto his testicles. It is probably Greig.
Chappell - another old relic. Keep him for memories.
Nicholls - Definitely keep him.
Healy - What is he doing there?
Taylor - I can tolerate him.
Slater - PISS OFF !!!
Warne - keep him for now.

i think you are taking your cricket watching too seriously if you follow the commentators like that.

Keep Benaud, Bill and Greigy (only because Greigy is the antagonist of the panel - you need him there to fire up the masses).

Nicholas is ok, he is very bland though. Warney's made a good debut, he's quite forthright in his opinions which is refreshing. Heals is the absolute worst. Appalling. Slats is ok as well, a bit dull and has actually gotten worse in the past couple of years but one of the better of the younger brigade. Tubby is ordinary as well, but improving. Chappelli gives me the sh*ts.

But really, I'd be happier if they just went back to the two people in the box at a time, and had Benaud and Lawry. That'd be awesome.

Tony Greig is a massive wank I just can't stand him.. He captained England ffs and he carries on cheering for the Saffas pick a team you idiot.

 

[typicalfan]

have to say though i like Warnes commentary, he gives a very bowleresque attacking perspective on play. You can see it in Richie too in the last few days.

 

[hineyrulz]

Keep Ritchie and Bill and piss the rest off, Healy is king of the Merkins.

 

[griffo346]

Billy Birmingham should take over the whole lot

LOL , I dont mind tony greig , it seems there is always an annoying commentator no matter what you watch, i think if you took greig away , it wouldnt be the same.

I do agree with the comments about healy and slater

 

[marshall stalin]

i think they should bring into the commentary team Boris Volkov as after all cricket is a Soviet Russian invented game and not english/british.

extract from the Soviet Union history of sport encyclopedia.

"Early Russians would divide into teams of five to ten players on a natural field in a game called lapta. One player would throw a ball toward a member of the other side, who would try to hit it with a lapta stick and then run to the opposite side with a non hitting player running to the hitting side before the thrower's team could retrieve the ball and hit him with it. A player could also be out if the ball was caught by the fielding team and if the batter missed the ball three times when trying to hit it. From the early Russian game of lapta came both Cricket and Baseball - Lapta is an old Russian folk game with a ball and a bat. Mentions of Lapta were found in old scripts, and balls and bats were found in the 14th century layers during excavations in Novgorod.

This folk game is one of the most interesting and useful games. Lapta requires resourcefulness, deep breathing, faithfulness to your party , attention, dexterity, fast running, good aiming and marksmanship, strong striking hands and hard eternal confidence that you can not be defeated. The lazy and cowards have no place in this game."

Slater and Healy are the worst. The rest are fine

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Keep Richie, Tony and Bill along with Slater

All the rest are garbage, the 2 Ians the worst

It seems that ever fellow commentators around the world don't even like Healy after some comments I have heard made from Ian Smith and Tony Cozier

 

[Sir Biffo]

Ian Smith is the worst commentator/media personality in the world period so I wouldn't be taking his opinions too seriously.

 

[mozza91]

Slater and Healy are the worst. The rest are fine

I prefer Slater to Taylor he has no idea what he's talking about

 

[Bobby DIGital]

What did they say exactly? I missed that.

I remember Smithy takin the P*ss out of Heals for his effort in the 1996 New Years day run chase which made Michael Bevan a household name...

They should bring back Greg Chappell. The way he cut off the end of his sentences was awesome. Bring back big Maxy Walker while they're at it.

 

[blain]

smithy and cozier were just saying how good it was to see heals etc having a cry over getting beaten by SA.

when the commentary cut out for about 30 minutes in the first test wadds said it was the best channel nine coverage hes ever seen!!! lol waddles the man.

Yeah what Blain said was correct. Also said when they were running through what happened during the day they would love to sitting next to Healy calling it

To the guy who said Smith is the worst, I know it would probably be strange to have someone in the box who gives it back to all the Aussie boys.

Had to laugh yesterday, Steyn hit a beautiful straight drive. It wasn't just any straight drive, it was an "Australian Straight Drive" haha, that is how good it was

 

[JoeD]

Mark Richardson on his show said something like - "I don't normally like to comment on other media people but Ian Healy is a DICK." It was quite funny, I love Crowd Goes Wild.

 

[IanG]

If only Bill really could tell Tony to blow it out his arse.

 

[Patorick]

Sorry for stating the obvious, but no matter who the commentators are, it will always be the same bland, uninteresting and simplistic commentary because that's how 9 likes it.

The mute button exists for a reason, as does the radio.
