**Official** Chappell-Hadlee Series

[Johnners]

Gah... i've just realised i will have to listen to Brian Waddle on the abc all day.... Worst Radio commentator, almost as Bias as Bill Lawry

 

[Prince EWS]

They have reason to be frustrated after 3 losses in a row

Especially when half their team isn't playing for various reasons.

Yeah princey couldn't control it anymore.

 

[Prince EWS]

Is dire going to be this years new word? Last year was that Emo crap which is really lame

It's a cricketweb thing... it's been around for a while. Pasag says it in nearly every post. Don't expect it to pop up anywhere else though.

I found myself using it in an English seminar today...

Yeah, but you're from CW yourself. It's not a worldwide craze like the whole emo thing.

Given though, it could catch on, I guess. I say dire regularly and I've caught a few of my friends saying it at times recently - and not even just when they are stirring me up!

Brian Waddle is a very well respected commentator over here actually. He was surrounded by Australians in the CB Series so of course he was going to put up some defence.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Alright, that one did a bit... something in it for George and Luca later perhaps?

 

[Prince EWS]

Ridiculous amounts of seam movement going on here. Australia need to re-assess what a good total is - something they haven't really been experts at while setting a score of late...

 

[Fiery]

Bond's ODI average has moved back under 20

 

[Johnners]

Last years Chappell Hadlee Series Waddle was pathetic. In all seriousness, it was one of the worst shows of commentating i'd heard on the radio for quite some time.

Yeah but you're about as one-eyed Aussie as I am one-eyed kiwi though Clapo

 

[pup11]

Leave alone setting a score i would be happy if our guys end up playing 50 overs(We haven't done that for last 4 games, for various reasons).

 

[pup11]

There was a statement about bond having a "pea-sized heart."

 

[NZTailender]

Hussey gone!

Wait, wtf.

These commentators are dire, just said he was out (on radio).

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Solid effort from the top order. Looks like they picked the right blokes to bat up there.
