***Official***THE FINAL- India vs Australia - November 19th - Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad (D/N)

[Son Of Coco]

why do broadcasters think that we care about having ex-players in the comms box??

ex players should be fort punditry only. can't think of an ex player who has become an amazing or listenable commentator

Richie Benaud wasn't bad.

 

[thierry henry]

Some proper cricket in this partnership. Go India.

 

[BazBall21]

Bishop is a good commentator.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Just thinking Daemon talking about Jay Shah curing AIDS like jesus in a small child.

Not that remarkable, because I'd trust a lot of you to save a baby from AIDs without even putting a gun to your head.

I wouldn't, the drugs are really good now

You love batting properly

Richie Benaud wasn't bad.

He was the best on tv.

Richie Benaud wasn't bad.

okay there are some. but way too many vanilla ex players being asked to commentate with absolutely no personality.

I can see what's going on in the match for ****'s sake. Get me interested!

 

[King Kane]

An absorbing battle this, much better than watching batsmen just smash fours and sixes for fun like they are playing stick cricket.

It's a war of attrition.

 

[Gnske]

This match is like Jay Shah curing aids in a diseased and disadvantaged child of poverty, its following the path of absolute box office entertainment later on.

 

[slowfinger]

for example I watch World Series Poker and the commentary is just unreal, I mean the wit and chat thrown around is most of the reason why I bother watching

 

[Andyhere]

Nah, he should've rotated the strike better, not play cute paddle sweeps.

Agreed!
Unnecessary dots is what he needed to cut. Just see how kohli is batting. Zero risk but intent to score atleast 1 every ball

 

[Gob]

220 by the 40th would require them to accelerate a fair bit though

Around 70 from 12. Only needs a one big over

It's a different sport that's why

 

[silentstriker]

You’re joking right? He’s as self made as they come. Valedictorian in Uni, math prodigy and served 2 years in Kashmir.

He took the opprutinties all teenagers get but made the most of them. Some 20 year olds work very hard and get an internship at a cricketing association, others get named to the executive committee of a state cricketing board at age 20 and get to build a $100 million stadium. Same same.

Why would anyone love batting not properly. Cricket now stinks. Go Virat.

I don't think I've ever heard a stadium go that quiet that quickly
