Tony Greig is horrid. Gawd I hate him so much, Channel 9's commentary teams have been horrid recently, I prefer the stuff we get from overseas on Fox Sports, I can't tolerate half of the 9 team. I now have to listen to the radio while watching the TV to enjoy a match.

Akram in Bangladesh, learning to commentate like a pro and learning new things. Looks like he declined the Pak/Aus series for some reason he didn't express very well on AIR

Also, thanx to DirecTV's feed who shows us the trial shots when Harsha is applying powder to his forehead and Akram is complaining abt lack of shampoo in his hair, this is the time when we hear things we are not supposed too for eg., Akram saying something in 'punjabi' when he heard Pak were 8 down in 1st Innings

Mind you, he was saying something abt Pak always having to play in Perth 1st up which is difficult and affects the rest of the tour

I'd guess that he simply didn't want to be in the position where his side are getting constantly beaten and he's the only "representative" in the commentary box...

All part of home advantage, really.

i quite like channel nine`s commentery team, younis is alright.
I reckon they're are better then the team in South Africa. I hate David Lloyd and Bob Willis, they are so irritating.

anyone watching the aus-pak test at perth on channel 9 would've seen waqar's half hand. he's missing at least one finger on his left hand. anyone know what's up with that?

David "Bumble" Lloyd is a legend. End of story.
