*Official* Pakistan in Australia

[Nate]

Watson's best figures in ODIs.

Australia should be wary of this target, Pakistan's bowling is very good, and the pitch is quick. If Australia lose Marsh or Watto early, getting Ponting early is a chance, and then it's game on.

Marsh/Watson my favourite ever opening combination fwiw.

 

[R_D]

Do you not have a 'red button' in Australia?

Na not on free to air channels..
Channel nine has like 3 or 4 channels and the ****s won't bother to put cricket on one of those.

I guess should be just glad.. at least crickets on free to air television here.

 

[Ikki]

I'm sure we're all thinking it so let's just say: Shane Watson is the greatest all rounder ever.

Personally and rather selfishly, I'd much, much, much rather it wasn't. Not only would I actually get to see every ball, but I'd get to listen to Waugh, Border and Blewett rather these Healy, Lawry and Nicholas...

Yeah, Watto, Marsh, Ponting, Switchofftv.

 

[pasag]

Gun, IMO.

Afridi will get it if he bowls well and Pak win.

Yeah, don't reckon Pakistan will win though. If Watto gets any sort of score and Australia win he'll get it.

hehe yeah fair enough.. I do enjoy Blewett, Border and Flemings commentary.
Haven't been watching KFC big bash but has Kasper been commentating with these guys.
Heard him commentate during one of Indian series and found him to be quite likable.

edit- nothing wrong with Bill Lawry imo.... like his enthusiasm even though he can be so biased.

 

[Ikki]

DOUGEHz!

Dougy!

Dougeh - best ODi bowler since Garner - look at his numbers. Ask Ikki, he'll tell ya the stats don't lie.

Dougy.

Dougeh.

Fer shiz. They never do.

Can't stand Lawry. Actually prefer Healy because I can tune him out. Lawry screams all his biased, hypocritical, overly critical and generally dire comments at me.

 

[Craig]

And Ian Chappell telling what everybody is doing wrong, some random fast bowling story and how he told some **** to GAGF, and countless stories on slip catching and batting at the WACA.

Haa man in 12 years of watching/listening cricket from AUS since the 97/98, Lawry has been superb. Yea he can be biased at times, but he is quite entertaining id say GONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Its the other way around for me.. can't stand Healy.
Love the way Bill gets over excited about a Victorian..

Unbelievable cricket coverage starting on time.... no Current Affair for us. How is that possible? They couldn't invent any more dire stories.

Yeah Chappell does become bit annoying with his over criticism but still he's bearable.
Slats was good initially but just went downhill ones he signed on with channel 9.

 

[Nate]

Yeah, Watto, Marsh, Ponting, Switchofftv.

Forgot what Clarke was like in ODIs. Will be very interesting to see how he goes chasing a biggish total. Pretty happy with Hussey/White/Haddin.

Worried for Darsh vs Aamer here, will be a big test for him.

 

[four_or_six]

Do the commentators not understand that when you run, your heart rate goes up? It's not just 'nerves'.

 

[Nate]

Watto. Didn't that hit his arm? [/wishfulthinking]

EDIT: It did, but not after it came off the end of the handle.

Poor Watto, I want to hugs him all better.

 

[Prince EWS]

Looked like it came straight off his elbow to me....

 

[R_D]

lol.... Watson...fair enough that time.. he didn't know where that hit.

 

[Prince EWS]

Looked like it came straight off his elbow to me....

Haha, nope, end of the bat handle. Such a strange way to get out.
