What commentary are you Aussies getting at the moment??

I thought everyone was getting the SKY UK commentary.

No we are getting the channel Nien Merkinflaps.

 

[Jason Maher]

Nope. We've got the channel 9 mob.

I thought everyone was getting the SKY UK commentary.

Seemingly for the first ever time, channel 9 have provided their own commentary from England.

 

[Jason Maher]

Bumble is the only bright spot.

no!

After 18yrs, Ch9 thought it to be appropriate to bring their commentary team over to the UK.

So, there is Taylor/Healy/Lee/Warne/LLoyd/Vaughn/Nickelarse.

18yrs ago, it was Benaud/Greig/Lawry/Chappell/Boycott/Rackemann

 

[Hutty1986]

Bumble is the only bright spot.

"Punchy!"

 

[TheParraboy]

1/100

 

[Eelectrica]

Hundred up. Should be 0 for but no cure stupidity I guess.

93 and 97 were the Nien commentary team.

Bloody Hell... Poor Bastards...

Just listening to Beefy and Mikey Holding at the moment... Punter has been pretty bloody good this series... I hadn't heard much of him before.

 

[Jason Maher]

Richie, Griegy, Bull, and Chappelli >>>>> the current semi-literate mob, as annoying as Chappell could be.

 

[Jason Maher]

Think back then they had David Gower as the token Pom.

He actually is a smart guy. Along with Gilly on the Big Bash coverage

 

[shiznit]

Bloody Hell Stokes is a solid unit...

He's built like his old man... Probably would have played a fair bit of RL growing up I reckon.

 

[8Ball]

Bloody Hell Stokes is a solid unit...

He's got some big levers

 

[hineyrulz]

Big huuuuuuge man.



1 for 104 we'll take it.

 

[Eelectrica]

Solid start. Need Rogers to cash in and get the hundred while the going is good.

 

[Hutty1986]

Good start, pity Warner is a mong

Yeah he's been a bit of a revelation on SKY's coverage.

He brings a lot of insight in how a top order batsmen plays in England. Especially for an Australian batsman.

He made a great point to David Gower about how Steve Smith was batting... Gower was giving it to Smith about how he plays at too many balls... And Punter made a great point about how Smith is so far across his stumps that it really doesn't matter as long as his head is in the right position.

He went on and explained it... Bloody interesting stuff...
