MELBOURNE 3rd Test: Australia v India on Dec 26-30, 2014

[undertaker]

To think there maybe people new to the game watching the telecast thinking: "What on earth are they talking about? All this talk about gourmet food and pizzas". Benaud/Lawry/Chappell/Greig would've never gone on this stupid topics back in their day

Not a good endorsement for the game. Reminds me of the Gus and Rabs banter in league matches

KP would have hooked Warnie if he was still alive

Oh dear...

I am staggered that the likes of Waugh and Gilchrist tolerated this merkin for so long tbh

 

[Sphagnum]

People were validating their shit commentary by voting.

f**ken Victorians

He was a good bowler in fairness. History is full of people who were really good at one thing but complete merkins and fools at every other aspect of their lives.

Playing bizarre dismissals of the Ch9 commentators.

Warne's dismissal against Harbhajan, I remember that back in 2001. Goes to show what Warne's real IQ is:lol:

 

[Sphagnum]

Maxwells was worse than all of them including tubby.

 

[chigurh]

This is one occasion where I want India's plodders to knock over our tail but cannot see it happening

 

[undertaker]

They should show some of Derpshaws low lights.....

Someone should send this to Ch9 via twitter or facebook (as I don't have either):

geez, he was a fat f**k

 

[undertaker]

Victorians are such wankers

You'd almost think Melbourne was located in a different country based on this

 

[Canard]

Now Warne is crapping on about how much better Melbourne is than Sydney.

Goes to show how much the standards have declined over the past decade at Ch9. All of this banter with Brayshaw which has nothing to do with cricket at all. Do the commentators think they're on the panel of the Footy Show with the vaudeville act?

I know I've posted this before, but Brendan Cowell was right when he said this about AFL and people in Melbourne. According to them, Melbourne is the centre of the universe and everything revolves around it:

Once again, Warney, you are one of the all-time greats of the game, but it's time to get out of the commentary box.

It would be OK, if it was just limited to the Melbourne test.

Problem is they talk about Melbourne from day 1 of Test 1 and don't stop.

 

[JJ]

Show his 99 against us, so funny Richardson showed him for the vain fool he is "what would Brian Lara do?"

 

[undertaker]

They are talking so much shit in the commentary box.

Which is why Ch9 will always broadcast on 5-7 second delay and no in sync with the radio commentary, because they know that if they were to broadcast in sync nearly everyone would watch the Ch9 broadcast on mute whilst listening to ABC radio

 

[Pete Cash]

Sydney is such a good city we don't need to sing it from the rooftops. I am always suspicious of how victorians carry on about Melbourne. Like they don't really believe it.

Nice theory.


But isn't the radio behind TV though?

I'd much rather the ABC though.

 

[TheParraboy]

I think ch9 commentary are tying to compete (mimic) with the likes of Flintoff, Richards, Punter, Junior, Gilly across at ch10. The "commentary" over there is genuinely funny and makes watching t20 more enjoyable. I actualy look forward to listening to them every night

Ch9 commentators are just clueless, particularly Brayshaw, Warne and Slater. They really need to lessen the on air time from these try hards and bring in the likes of Bumble , Holding, Vaughn, MHussey etc...

 

[undertaker]

KP would have hooked Warnie if he was still alive

Well he did only months before he died, only for the new Ch9 management to re-instate Warne during the 2008/09 test series vs South Africa.

Just like he said when Doug Mulray had that infamous tv show, "Get this shit off the air!"

Looks like we are gonna bat on till Rhino gets his century..
