Time for a new commentary team....

[Moffo]

Time to get some of the twats out of the commentary box and into the nursing home

Chappell and Greig for starters....these guys are boofheads. Can't stand Taylor and Healy either. And thank f**k that Shane Warne is going to resume playing soon

Bill Lawry is funny but is a bit of a tool as well

Long live Richie

How about Kerry O'Keffe getting a run on channel 9? Now that would be good!

Cheers,
Moffo

I dont mind the commentary team. I dont know if its simply because of the 12th man or not, but i dont mind them. 8)

I love when Kerry O'Keefe laughs it always sounds funny. Richie is the king. Taylor is alright, Healy is crap yet he was ok last season. Tony Greig and Bill Lawry get more annoying by the season if that is possible. Chappell pretends to be a smarta** but is more annoying than anything. O'Donnell is good but doesn't really commentate. Shane Warne acts like a mischievious kid, thank the lord when he goes. Mark Nicholas is good. The part-time commentators are good, James Brayshaw, Brendon Julian, etc. Dennis Commetti is annoying. I hope Steve and Mark Waugh take up commentating and get rid of those old farts. The commentators for that Bangladesh test series on ABC tv were good and their also good on the radio. Even Jeff Thomson was good on ch.7 couple years ago.

I think Kerry on the radio is good but I don't like him on TV.

Some of the commentators on Channel 9 are alright, but the question is how long are they gonna be there.

Richie is a good commentator, boring at times, but hes the voice of cricket. Tony Greig was good, but I reckon hes time is up, hes annoying now. Ian Chappell says some negative things, like "the batsman was too slow, thats why he run out, thats poor cricket" , but hes trying to be like those English commentators, he'll go soon. Bill Lawry is still good, but he is getting old now, nearly 70 who knows how long he stay on. As for the other two Taylor and Healy, theyve got to really improve on their commentary, otherwise its time for another job. Mark Nicholas, a bloke I never heard of it before, is very smart on the tactics on cricket. I like him. I reckon he should stay on.

Now to improve the Channel 9 team, add James Brayshaw there. Hes got a good voice, speaks clearly, and doesnt go too over the top when something great happens. Kerry O'Keefe, this bloke is the funniest Ive heard on ABC radio, I reckon they should promote him to Channel 9.

And the ABC TV Commentators that called the Bangladesh game went alright. I think they had guys like Jim Maxwell, Damien Fleming, Greg Chappell and Keith Stackpole. I dont think Chappell and Stackpole will call for very long, theyve been on Ch 9 before.

Well its certainly not the most annoying commentary team in the world, but I hope they improve it a little bit.

Some of thier comments astound me.

You would think that some of them have never played cricket.

Its better to turn the TV down and the radio up, except for the time delay.

I reckon TFR Cricket Forum coulld do a better job.

Who's in ?

 

[cheese]

I used to be a staunch #9 supporter, but this summer they've been nothing short of boring.

I just click mute, then turn the radio up. Kerry for PM, he's the king.

lol that was hilarious. Billy's head popping out of nowhere to look at Dravid

Benaud - The great man. Will retire when he decides to, not before.
Chappell - Hopeless commentator. Very good mates with Packer though.
Lawry - Idiot. I don't know how he manages to stay there.
Grieg - I like him. He makes mistakes but he is generally entertaining.
Taylor - Annoying. States the obvious.
Healy - Love him. He is my favourite. Funny, knowledgable, and relaxed.

Who else is there? That pommy bloke was ok but he will be going back to England.

Kerry O'keefe is annoying too. The way he laughs at his own jokes.

Yeah i like Ian Smith and Danny Morrison as commentators.

Also i always find it amusing when Bill Lawry (of all people) thinks that a batsmen is going to slowly. HA!

There was another time last year when there was someone dressed up as Ali G in the crowd, and Richie Benaud says "...there's another Jason Gillespie fan..."

I thought that was very funny then, but now seeing that he looks like the paddle pop lion, it loses meaning now when re-telling it.

Only if I can speak in a Jamican accent, I'm coooool mooooon.

 

[Twizzle]

No problem man.

 

[Anonymous]

I cannot stand Benaud. I have a bet with my brother that if I ever see him in person I have to poke him in the eyes.

I on the other hand would love to be a commentator.

 

[Tupac Shakur]
