*Official* Australia tour of New Zealand Feb-Mar 2024

[thundaboult]

phillips doin some bossing on the mic and then some boshing out the ground what a moment of big d energy

 

[SteveNZ]

That is all time.

It's also a ****ing disgrace that a batter has to have that conversation in an international game, whether it turns off or not. Shut the **** up and let him bat

 

[Gnske]

Good on him. Nattering in his ear while he's facing up is ****ing stupid.

I like how someone in the box was then like "Just to assure viewers WE DO turn our voices off" as if we all just didn't hear Phillips say otherwise.

 

[Athlai]

Not really the comms fault if the audio is reaching him when it shouldn't

Someome ****ed up for sure

 

[SteveNZ]

Not really the comms fault if the audio is reaching him when it shouldn't

No it isn't but don't mic up players when they're batting.

Why should a guy like GP or Allen have to worry about talking to commentators and distract himself from his job

mannn gp dont give a f tho fam its every mf for himself

 

[Socerer 01]

any innovation from the bbl should be fired into the sun deservedly

 

[anonymouskefe]

especially when the people in his ear are mcmillian and Stevenson

 

[Athlai]

No it isn't but don't mic up players when they're batting.

Why should a guy like GP or Allen have to worry about talking to commentators and distract himself from his job

Yeah I really dont think anyone should be mic'd up besides maybe the odd fielder in the deep that never bowls

 

[ataraxia]

Plot twist: Phillips isn't actually annoyed by commentators talking as the ball is bowled, but is just trying to find a way to make Sumo pay attention to who's on strike.

 

[SteveNZ]

Yeah, life goes on but when GP is getting ready to face up, he should be thinking about his hitting areas and watching the ball, not some inane question from Sumo

 

[Gnske]

any innovation from the bbl should be fired into the sun deservedly

The funny thing is they don't even do it with the batters really anymore, don't recall it happening at all last season.

Even the helmet cams died a quick death.

 

[Bahnz]

Phillips is going to be cracking commentator when his career is done.

 

[Flem274*]

Yeah I really dont think anyone should be mic'd up besides maybe the odd fielder in the deep that never bowls

That or the non striker

 

[SteveNZ]

Yeah I really dont think anyone should be mic'd up besides maybe the odd fielder in the deep that never bowls

100% agree.

 

[King Kane]

Phillips doing a good job considering he has the flogs in the commentary box trying to distract him.

 

[Athlai]

is just trying to find a way to make Sumo pay

Yes

 

[SteveNZ]

Now they're defending it

 

[Meridio]

It feels of some manager who knows nothing at all about cricket insisting that The People need to hear from the players or they'll go back to their tik toks
