Is Warne going to be back polluting the airwaves again?

 

[Dan]

Not if CW Commentary has anything to say about it.

 

[Howe_zat]

I would love to have Warne on CW commentary so as I could mute him

 

[GIMH]

Ponting is going to be on sky. No idea what that means for Warne

 

[Spark]

Really? Great news if so.

 

[GIMH]

Really? Great news if so.

Yeah, saw it announced on Sky Sports News

 

[Furball]

Speaking of CW commentary, does anyone know if it'll work with the Skype app on a mobile?

 

[Howe_zat]

You keep asking that, I have no idea why you would want to be talking into your phone.

 

[Furball]

Because I don't have a microphone and cbf buying one

 

[Daemon]

Plug the earpiece that came with your phone into your laptop? Works for me.

Yeah, that's all I use.

 

[GIMH]

So what's the sky team? Gower, Athers, Hussain, Bumble, Botham, Holding, Warne, Chimpy?

Hope we get Warne and Ponting on together

 

[Furball]

To those who watched a lot of the Big Bash, what's Ponting like in the box?

Hoping Warne remembers who the **** he's commentating for and we get Measured Sky Commentator and Leg Spin Genius Shane Warne instead of Channel 9/ESPNStar Commentator and Aussie Cheerleader ****wit Shane Warne.

 

[Spark]

Excellent. Insightful, good-humoured, focused on the game, and speaks clearly. Not the best ball-by-ball but that should be less of an issue in Tests where you don't have to pump up every ball.

 

[Furball]

Sounds like he'll go well with Nasser or Athers then.

Yeah as Spark said he was awesome. He was excellent as reading the play. There'd be a change in the field or the batman's guard or something and he'd be like, 'oh they just moved X across to Y, I think he'll bowl a wide yorker here' and it would just happen every time.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Yeah, Punter was fantastic. But he enjoyed knowing all the blokes he was commentating with, be interesting to see how he is as more of a fish out of water.

 

[Spikey]

love that he's not doing stints for 9

 

[Dundalis]

Guh, is there any way to get the Sky commentary in Australia?

Not officially. But Google is your friend. I'm watching Sky as I type.
