The "Channel 9 Commentary Is Hurting Brain" Thread

[Spark]

Love Grandstand. Said it before, need to say it again.

It made todays play bearable I reckon

Roebuck is outstanding... when he talks about the cricket. Which is why I rate him extremely highly as a radio commentator, but not at all as a columnist.



Nah he's spot on. The aggressive counterattack from Haddin is a perfect example of making your own luck, as was England dropping those catches. For whatever reason, luck falls with the side who is taking the initiative quite often and that's what Haddin did.

See, when you attack and get the slips out and then nick one through to third man, you MAKE that sorta luck. Inside edge past stumps, you have been a lucky ****. End of.

Poor Richie, advertising an iPhone cricket application, referring to it as an "A.P.P" rather than an app.

Haha I was joking about that with a friend. "just go to the ay pee pee store..."

 

[Ikki]

AND THAT IS WHY LAWRY IS ****!

Strauss top edges it and the first thing he says is "OUT"

I was out of the room thinking there's been a wicket, I ran back in and then he says "Should be out, could be out"

And then the ball lands a good 5 metres away from the fielder.

Go **** yourself Lawry.

Haha, omg, same. I've heard it so often I think I'm going delusional hearing it from another room when he's not even commentating.

 

[duffer]

Heals, Lawry and Greig regarding the Harris decision should live long in the memory. It was that bad.

 

[honestbharani]

Seriously the worst bunch of **** clowns going around as cricket commentators around the world right now.. As I said earlier, at least the Neo Cricket bunch are juz idiots without the bias.. These guys, jeez..

Ian Healy: "I think it's time for sticking with people, and left field selections".

Ian Healy: "I think it's time for sticking with people, and left field selections".

That actually makes sense, he's just said it the wrong way round.

 

[morgieb]

Don't know what's wrong with what he said. Fact is we're in a re-building era, and now's the time to show loyalty to players. That deserve it, mind.

McNamara too pwn thirsty. Got exposed.

Two absolute smokers going at it. Everyone should've stood back and let them beat the **** out of each other.

Actually, Both did look to have a bit of a swelling under his left eye when he did his "to camera" bits on tonight's commentary...

Ian Healy: "I think it's time for sticking with people, and left field selections".

Stick with North? Doherty? Bollinger?

And then Greigy said: "The first thing they should do is get on the phone to Brett Lee and get him back".

Do these guys know anything?

Channel 9 safely the worst commentary team out of all available. Foxsports and ABC so far ahead its frustrating.
