1st Test at Brisbane, 8th-12th of December 2021

[OverratedSanity]

Channel 9 should hire some good commentators to improve the quality. I hear ravi Shastri is available.

 

[Prince EWS]

Did they really HAVE to take Tea knowing the bad weather is coming in?

The immovable hot beverage.

 

[Gnske]

And now Gilly and Warnie aren't hammering the choice to REST Broad and Anderson. Have some guts ffs. It was a worse as as decision as we've ever seen.

Also don't trust Gilly saying the word niggle.

Nine aren't doing it.

 

[Burgey]

Nine aren't doing it.

Hence why they should hire him

 

[OverratedSanity]

Nine aren't doing it.

I hear the commentary is bad so it has to be channel nine

 

[Burgey]

Did they really HAVE to take Tea knowing the bad weather is coming in?

I think it had been delayed for the ninth wicket already? But wasn't really watching that closely.

 

[Gnske]

Worse. It's been abhorrent. It's Sanath Jayasuriya levels of bad.

 

[kingkallis]

Don't lose heart, England.

We got bundled out on 36 last year and the rest is history.

Yeah dreadful decision and we have paid a very heavy price for it after just the first day

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah but a bit of common sense to get as many overs in as possible before the storm hits? I suppose it may not matter much in the overall picture for the game but just seems silly cricket cant make some sensible on the go decisions for such a weather dependent sport.

Appalling. Warnie has been absolutely hideous, won't let Isa get a word in. He's horrible. I hate him, he really shouldn't commentate. Howie has been a git, Gilly a typical Gen X weirdo.

All the comms are trash.

Isa must be getting well paid to have to put up with Warnie. I'm sure he's thinking of ways to get into her good books.

Heard Warnie wanted to show isha some of his old balls

 

[Burgey]

The trouble is unlike The Ashes here in 2019 commentators are far too home orientated. Feels very one sided when there is no Doull, Holding or Bishop to even things up.

Lol as though Michael Holding didn't know precisely where his bread was buttered when it came to commentating England matches.

 

[Gnske]

Here's a question. Do England bowl first if they pick Broad and Anderson in the side?

 

[Croadymeister]

Don't lose heart, England.

We got bundled out on 36 last year and the rest is history.

Yeah the difference being you have batsmen who can actually apply themselves properly

 

[Starfighter]

Well, it's been about half an hour and it's still pissing down.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah but a bit of common sense to get as many overs in as possible before the storm hits? I suppose it may not matter much in the overall picture for the game but just seems silly cricket cant make some sensible on the go decisions for such a weather dependent sport.

yeah it gets pretty frustrating. Like social. I wanted to see harris nick off so he gets dropped but the storm means he may well now get a decent session to start instead of an awkward little 10-15 minutes before a break.

 

[Starfighter]

Here's a question. Do England bowl first if they pick Broad and Anderson in the side?

Yes IMO

 

[Gnske]

Someone tell Warne it isn't that confusing why the instigator of Sandpapergate hasn't got a leadership position.
