*Official* Commentary Complaints Thread

[S.Kennedy]

There must be a lot of moonlighting. Tuffers does TMS, and most of the BT crew keep doing stints on TMS also. And Pietersen makes guest appearances on BT.

 

[S.Kennedy]

Boyce has just called Woakes 'Stokes'. Earlier he called Root 'Cook'

 

[mr_mister]

Yeah, but Brayshaw.

i agree biggest tosser going. But Gilly is interesting to listen to.


Channel 9 is okay, I still prefer it for the convenience and the fact the voices are so ingrained in me i cant really watch a home summer without Tubby's voice now. But they are dull people mostly

 

[GotSpin]

Commentators aside, C9 just makes it tough viewing. 1-2 ads between every single over and the commentators promoting other brands/TV shows continually makes it hard to watch

I'd take 3 Brayshaws over 1 KP.

 

[S.Kennedy]

Have you seen the Pietersen cricinfo advert? Make sure you haven't eaten before viewing it.

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

...like Brayshaw rambling on about golf courses for half an hour, Gilchrist getting cut off whenever he has something interesting to say, dodgy ***ual in-jokes that come across as a little bit creepy and, for no good reason whatsoever, the use of the word 'derro' in cricket commentary.

Hell of a line-up, sure, but Brad McNamara needs to get in the ****ing sea. Ruins ****ing everything he touches.

Absolutely trash

look I only listend to Kerry O Keefe, Tufnell and Gus, then Junior, the british female cricketer and Howie. It was certainly a more interesting hour than 60 mins of channel 9 commentary

Gus as in Gus Worland? FMD.

Kerry, Tuffers, Junior and Guha seem decent though, ditto Gilchrist. Though 9's team have been good off 9, so....

haha. He was the weak link but luckily Kerry and Tuffers picked up his slack

Who exactly is brad mcnamara? Keep seeing his name everywhere, is he the godfather of aus cricket?

 

[S.Kennedy]

Big Daddles fans here I see.

Former head of 9's cricket coverage, is now Triple M's head of cricket coverage.

 

[Jarquis]

Weller still not winning this but this is the best session we’ve had since the Handscomb wicket in the first innings of the first test

 

[Cabinet96]

Vaughan is incredibly partizan and was getting very excited in that final session as England finally did something. Would fit in well in an English CH9.

Stuck the boot in big time on Smith for not following on too

Boycott made me chuckle though ‘he’d never have scored a run on uncovered pitches’ RE Warner. I find his predictability entertaining if I’m honest.

 

[Spark]

Vaughan is partisan but he's not shy of sticking the boot into English players and cricket in general from what I've heard. Jumps to conclusions and judgements extremely quickly though, especially on a player's technique.

 

[Cabinet96]

Yeah that's fair. Feels like he's one of those fans who just gets equally annoyed on the bad days as he does excited during the good moments. More like a footy fan than a cricket one in that sense.

 

[S.Kennedy]

I wouldn't necessarily say Vaughan is biased. His main problem is he is too wrapped up in these new ECB ideas to destroy test cricket. Ruins his credibility for me.
