***Official*** India in Australia 2014-5

[morgieb]

Indians were bowling pretty well before Lunch.

Im not sure what this means but Warne, Chappelli and Nicholas were the best combo in the box ive heard so far.

Sometimes i wonder if healy went to school.

They're actually pretty good as a combo. All 3 at least sound like they played cricket in the past and I think they're more professional without Brayshaw/Slater/Healy to bounce off.

9 needs to hire Ponting and Gilchrist, and give Symonds a full-time position.

It's a sad state of affairs when Warne, Nicholas and Chappell are the pick of the commentators. I hate all three. I know it gets tiresome talking about how rubbish the 9 comms are (or maybe it doesn't) but I can't stand listening to Warne and his Aussie cheek bull****.

 

[GotSpin]

I used to find healy reasonably funny until he started to try and analyse the game.

 

[Gnske]

It would also be pleasant if there was a commentator apart from Nicholas who knows even the smallest bit about cricket affairs overseas

 

[Spikey]

im listening to serial but uh did that guy just get given a VB watch

 

[GotSpin]

Atleast Hussey has pissed off

Got a good voice for the newspaper

Chappell's pretty good. JB seems to watch overseas cricket on the telly, which is legitimately something I don't think the likes of Slater or Healy do. Moody is good when he gets a gig.

Chappeli sometimes has an idea to be fair

he's gone to train with the thunder iirc, not fired

 

[Spikey]

and we got lee in return

 

[GotSpin]

Yeah but at least he isnt in the picture right now.

Is it even possible to get fired?

 

[BC_fan_abored]

Its Australia. You can literally tell your boss to **** off to his face and not get fired.

 

[Gnske]

He does, just so far all he's done this series is say how awful Dhoni was in England.

Would be easier if 9 just did what every other network does and get an expert from whatever touring nation is here in the commbox. Can't remember the last time we got an expert from a country that wasn't England.

not true

 

[wellAlbidarned]

not true

should've had a "don't try this at home" warning label attached

Swearing at your boss does not justify dismissal, says Fair Work Australia - Rudstein Kron Lawyers: Elsternwick Law Firm

twas just a joke but actually has some basis in fact.

i'd mention ian smith in 2011 but you said expert so

 

[smash84]

Why don't they get Dravid or Ganguly? They're pretty decent. Even Sanjay Manjrekar's analysis of the game isn't bad.

 

[ajdude]

was listening to ABC grandstand yesterday and harsha bhogle was actually good. didn't feel right

 

[anil1405]

yea I hope 9 takes Manjrekar for rest of the tour....Heals and Manjrekar would make a good combo.
