What are they saying?
Just spoke about Yadav for a bit, Clarke's form since captaining. Talking about what India can try to salvage from the game. Then they went on to the upcoming England v Pakistan test, likely replacements.

It was just understated and smart. I suppose they're catering for the tragic, seeing as it's middle of the night. It reminded me more of an ABC radio chat than a TV conversation.

Watching the session one highlights, those back foot off side drives by Ponting are so good. Reminded me of him in his pomp.

That does make sense for a late-night pay TV broadcast tbf. Only proper fans will be watching now.

Really like Butcher. I was watching the sky comms and analysis when India were in England and it wasn't just what he had to say, but the eloquence that few former players have just made it easier to listen to.

Makes you somewhat glad that channel 9 fall all over themselves to cut to reruns of Two and a Half Men instead of having any sort of wrap analysis programming at stumps, really not interested in what Healy and Grieg have to say even when I can't see their faces.

Justin Langer's a ****.

Just FYI.
:lol: Kindly stop making me laff in the office

Edit: Can imagine Langer on TV taking all the credit for the batting renaissance? "Yes the boys have all been working very hard and we knew the big scores would come" blah

during clarke's 200 celebration they crossed to the dressing room. at first langer was clapping his hands at the same body height as everyone else, however a couple of seconds later he raised his hands above his head. I choose to think he did this because he realised the camera was on them. what a ****ing ego

The quality of lunch time analysis on Sky with Gus Fraser and Mark Butcher is superb here. Not sure who the host is, but he's happy to take a back seat and defer to the blokes who know what they're talking about. It's quality.
No idea who the host is either and ive been watching him all series, just some vampire sky have hanging about I think, he only ever pops up during these hours. Do occasionally get some dross from sky at this time (dear old Corky) but these two are both good, Fraser used to do a lot of TMS so not surprising that he strikes the right tone.
