Which idiot let him in the BT Sport box?

 

[Spark]

Agree with that

Dirk Nannes has a bit of fun when he is on with Gerard Whately that is worth a listen

Whateley is excellent. You can tell he's actually trained as a broadcaster, very good at asking good questions at the right times to lead the conversation in interesting directions, and he himself has curbed back sharing some of his own more idiosyncratic opinions and let the experts do more talking.

 

[Pup Clarke]

BT needs another solid anchor in the comm box alongside Alison Mitchell desperately. - ideally someone like Bishop, Wessels, Pollock, Coney or even Graeme Smith. Far too much unnecessary chat from majority of the comms which permeates it as a spectacle

 

[S.Kennedy]

Vaughan wants, besides four-day tests, coloured shirts with numbers in test cricket. Did anyone hear this?

 

[Burgey]

Interesting position from a bloke whose coloured clothing game was rank.

 

[S.Kennedy]

He is obsessed with brightly coloured Australian gimmick cricket - he presents the Bish bosh for bt

 

[Burgey]

I can understand Englishmen being justifiably jealous of most things Australian tbh, but in this instance I think Michael has it wrong.

 

[GIMH]

Swann is much better on TMS than BT

BTW, enjoying Boycott on BT

 

[Gnske]

"He made some mistakes" - Kevin Pietersen on Hansie Cronje

 

[Burgey]

Both Kev and Hansie liked passing on info.

 

[Johnners]

Ch9 clowns are beating the "intent" drum so hard this test. It was noticeable at the gabba, but they're going ****ing overboard here

Intent is the worst cliche in contemporary commentary. I am currently writing a PhD thesis.....so far I am about 2/3 of the way through (~65,000 words). I haven't used the word "intent" once

 

[TheJediBrah]

Ian Chappell is such a boring grumpy old ****

His stories are so painful and awkward to listen to

 

[S.Kennedy]

The comedy continues. BT are now showing Edgbaston 2005 highlights during the 'longer' interval.

I enjoyed that tbf. Was a shame they had to switch back to the modern stuff.

 

[Furball]

BTW, enjoying Boycott on BT

The **** is wrong with you?

 

[Gnske]

Can I just say how glad I am that so many cricketing memories over the last 10 or 15 years are to the tune of Michael Slater's irreplaceable voice.

Man channel 9 is ****ing boring wankery compared to Triple M


They talk about such interesting and raw topics. Mark Waugh being very honest on his opinion on England's batting order, Kerry O'Keefe blurting out 'you can't cut first rock' when Moeen played a bad shot first ball. Tufnell also is so bloody blunt I love it


Don't know why KP was celebrating so hard for Lyon lol

 

[Starfighter]

Lyon's catch would have been a much better moment without KP's voice over it.
