Dump Healy for Langer and SOD for Boycs (somehow, however unlikely he'd be lured out here lol).
I love Boycott's commentary, my favourtie commentary moment of all time was him during the '05 Ashes when McGrath bowled Vaughan with a no-ball. "OUT.....ohhhhhh, no ball.....bad luck.....bad luck you aussies".

I thought it was a bit of a cliche-a-thon when Langer was commentating, but he was ok.

They most certainly do. Obviously ranges in strength, but as an Australian of Anglo-Indian descent who grew up in Melbourne, I am very easily spotted as an Australia whenever I travel, and whenever I lived in Singapore despite my dark complexion.I think you will find Aussies don't have accents

Richie 6/10 - Still got it, but its almost time for him to go.
Nicholas 3/10 - Prosy windbag with a tongue covered in brown and sticky undies to boot. Saved from a lower score by the fact that he is sometimes quite sound about the game when I am able to get past all the mute button inducing crap he spouts.
Slater 5/10 - Alright I reckon and will get better in time. When he makes an opinion that may be seen as not supportive of the Australian team needs to stand up for it a little bit and not allow himself to get bullied, as he was a couple of times by Healy this summer.
Taylor 7.5/10 - Rate Tubbs tbh. Needs to work on his delivery, but has sound opinions on the game and is not afraid to take a contradictory stand and speak his mind.
Lawry 7/10 - Getting on a bit, if not as far along as Richie. His passion and love for the game still shines through though. And that goes a long way with me.
Greig 5/10 - Dont know what to say about Greigy. Alright about sums it up.
Healy 1/10 - Just plain awful.
Chappell 5/10 - Very opinionated and stubborn but usually sound tactical commentary.
Did not enjoy Channel 9 Commentary for the most part this summer - so far at any rate.

Are you spotted by other Aussies or the locals? I find most people get our accents mixed up with Kiwis, and even English people (
) when they're not familiar with it. I've met people who can't tell an Aussie accent from Canadian/American/English/Irish. It's mind boggling

Get Skype. Spoke to Manju on that a while back, his accent is 100% Aussie, so you've much to live-up to.I'd have to tape myself

Yeah, Mark Charles Jefford Nicholas.
And having just looked-up his profile to check that name, I'm utterly astounded to see he's over 50!
If I look like him at 50, I'll be ecstatic.
I hope James Brayshaw gets a full time comm position. I really liked his commentary in the last 20-20 match against NZ. Really likeable and enthusiastic.
Langer was a bit cliched, as someone said before, but he has a very up to date knowledge of the game. Overall he wasn't bad considering it was his first stint.
Hayden on the other hand wasn't as good. Has that pure Ocker accent that just drives me insane. Simular to Andrew Symonds and that isn't a good thing.

Isn't the radio one second ahead? Must be annoying when they scream "OUT" before the ball is bowled...
