Would say Taylor's the most knowledgable Aussie commentator tbf (apart from Richie, whose senile now and doesn't count)
Chappell is definitely a lot more knowledgeable than Taylor IMO. Taylor's decent enough at his job though; have no real gripe with him.

The channel nine blokes are lazy because so many of them have security of tenure and because they're a free to air team which errs on the side of catering for the uninitiated or less initiated, not cricket wonks like us.
This would be acceptable if they, you know, knew the captain of each side. But they don't. They're not catering for anyone, they're just dumb and lazy.

Yeah, fair shout, though Chappell is more opinionated than knowledgable IMO
They aren't mutually exclusive; he's both. He's annoying at times but he knows far more about international cricket than the rest of the panel IMO. He reminds me of a particular forumer at times (not going to say which one :p).

Not Terrible
I haven't really been so ****y tbh. More passionate. Give me examples where I have been.

If you saw some of my posts before the test, it was far from ****y.
NZ success equating to it not being business as usual for Australia is ****iness. You can get frustrated that Aussie aren't rolling us, but it's a dog act (you are familiar with them I believe) to just expect us to be ****. The Brownlie comment in particular was dire. Kiwi fans expect it from the blokes at c9 we don't expect it from our Aussie CW compatriots.

If Trentland was playing in this Test, he'd have five and you'd be out for under 200. He also would've caught that which Clarke dropped.

I wonder if he dreams about me too.
