You know what really grinds my cricketing gears?

[Langeveldt]

Peter Roebuck

Stop writing articles about multiculturalism and pretending they're about cricket FFS. Does it relentlessly.

Don't you just love the feeling you get when you live in a modern multi-racial democracy after reading another one of Roebuck's gushings?

I stopped reading him ages ago. Got fed up with his sanctimonious, ill-thought out claptrap.

The annoying thing with Roebuck is that he is one of the reasons the ABC radio commentary is so good, really knows his stuff, isn't afraid to speak his mind and doesn't trot out cliches. But the gulf between his radio and print work couldn't be more vast.

Haha what's he done this time?

 

[vic_orthdox]

Nothing, just been wanting to mention my dislike of him for some time, especially since he's started getting a gig on TV.

i detest the indian commentators working these days; bhogle looks like a guy who would steal candies from kids, shastri is a bagful of cliches. gavaskar is senile. sivaramakrishnan is an idiot. arunlal is not good enough to have any job in any field. ganguly has lots of scope for improvement. basically i dont like any of them.

Can any of them handle a Segway?

I love Bhogle and Shivvers, but what you say about Shastri is so so true.

Well he stopped I guess.

Pffft, Roebuck would rather jump off a building than pander to what you want...

Plenty of overlap between the two

Burgey should have his own version of this thread.

"Burgey's Cricketing Gripes"
- Anyone saying Graeme Swann was at any point the best spinner in the world
- Indian fans not applauding
- Anybody who considers Kallis to be in the top echelon of cricketers of his generation
etc etc

 

[Burgey]

Can you set that up for me and add "miserable little ****wits up past their bed time on a Friday night on this site instead of being out at parties like normal people at Uni and who post random digs at people who lent them a hand putting together their application to get into said Uni?"

Thanks.

Easter holidays and I'm visiting family. Also wasn't meant as a dig, you can't deny that the three things I've listed are particular bug bears of yours?
