Your comms are garbage and so is your face.

What match thread have you been reading? It's been quiet commentary complaints wise compared to some others.

He's 4D chessed his own mind. Making commentary about commentary on commentary.

Use this thread only to complain about other posters.

Apart from the usual Warne nonsense, and loved his desperation to get a joke he thought of (about the deep point saving a 4 when Buttler cover drove Starc for 4 the ball before he nicked off) and trying 3 times to get it in.

On another note, I think the socially distanced comm box maybe making it difficult for them to understand when one has to talk etc. Sitting closer together I suppose you could pick up some non verbal cues easier?

 

[Gnske]

Agreed, Spark often cuts off conversations in threads. So does RTB and Gob actually. It's quite hard to keep track as a viewer.

That's because Australian commentary is superior to that poncy English trash.

"Oh yes I do um believe, cover drive. Yes, a cover drive. And I believe that could be two, no four. Yes a very opulent um shot"

Typo

To whomstve are you quoting

This is exactly the type of trash we ought to cut out. Listen to Spark ffs.

I could handle Skull if he just stopped with the jokes. Absolute punishing laugh. But I do appreciate he seems to be the only one on the commentary team who does research about the players etc.

 

[Gnske]

He's sort of like Spark. His jokes have less of a chance of landing than a passenger airliner on 911.

Warnie is trending on Twitter

It seems he still hates Mitchell Starc. Hilarious.

Bhogle is atrocious. Atherton is the best of the lot

BT pundits making digs about the Australian coverage is kind of funny. They could have actually bothered to sent their own team of course.

You say that as though we aren’t playing in the 21st century of being behind the iron curtain

I’ll give Warne one thing, for all the absolute drivel he talks, and he does, he is generally quite fair when he talks overall about the performances of the teams etc.

I mean they could have just done it from the UK if they really wanted. There are some people out there as well.

In american sports they have moved away from ex players to ex major league coaches. And would like to see the same thing in Cricket. Ex players are athletes first and foremost and have no analytical capabilities. Listening to ex athletes/players dissect sports is poor. Ex coaches have fascinating views and are far more cerebral individuals. The average IQ of the ex players commentators would be 100 to 110 at most which is the average IQ for a human being. The average IQ for a coach would be 130 plus and would have far more interest in listening to their views. Any comment the ex players make is usually a huge captain obvious comment. That is my rant on commentators.
