[Athlai]

Wow really? That's a big win for the Cw commentary box. Good stuff Howe.

 

[Howe_zat]

maybe I should put a disclaimer in the thread titles

 

[vic_orthdox]

I'm a sniff, not sure when yet but "batching" for the next month, need something to entertain myself.

 

[morgieb]

Should have a microphone by the end of week, so will try to make my CW debut.

 

[Smudge]

Smudge "Jeremy Coney Playing Mantis" Voltman is unavailable for Friday and Saturday. Depending on energy levels, a possibility for two sessions on Sunday night (NZ Time).

 

[Zinzan]

Might sort my Skype out and make a debut myself.

Feel Smudge, the best of the CW commentators, could do with some stiff competition in the box, along with some stiff tequila shots.

 

[Smudge]

Bring it on, Skippy.

 

[Hurricane]

Howe is quite excellent as a play by play man and overall anchor man. He facilitates discussion between the whole group and doesn't over talk.

Smudge, when I listened, has a good voice for radio and made some good one liners.

Good teamwork when I listened in Keep up the good work.

 

[Smudge]

Yes, Howe is a quality play-by-play commentator, especially as I asked him two minutes before we went on air whether he could do it. Keeps listeners informed, but can also be a touch random and irreverent when necessary. Nice rich baritone too.

Spark & Howe are my choice of commentators. Not able to identify Smudge yet. Would like to hear Vimes.

Working on your schedule for Ashes, guys?

A drunk Kiwi accent takes a bit of getting used to. Give it more of a chance.

Get athlai in there with volty at 3am

keen to join in some time if there's room.

 

[Bahnz]

Yeah me too. Ended up being too busy last Friday and Saturday to contribute, but that shouldn't be an issue this weekend.

I was tired and emotional, ****.

 

[Zinzan]

I was tired and emotional, ****.

Tbf, if you were all 3 of those things...tired, emotional & drunk, then I'm even more impressed

If we are talking Friday night, then it was the first part and a little bit of the third. A slow eight or so beers over 5 hours.

Keep thinking about Kane's average watch and having a mental chuckle at random times. Quality.
