CricketWeb Round Table #1 (With Audio)

[silentstriker]

Participants:

• Silentstriker (Manan)
• Steds (Sean)
• Neil Pickup (Neil)
• Goughy (Kev)

I want to thank everyone for appearing. It was a lot of fun, even though everyone was nervous. Couple things will be changed for next time (if there is a next time), but I think we got a lot of good opinions in and we beat those cricinfo guys anyday .

There were four questions asked today:

1. Is England the second best team in the world? And where do they go from here? (Listen)
2. Does Bangladesh deserve Test status? How should they be handled? (Listen)
3. The two main Aussie bowlers have retired, how will they fare in the future? (Listen)
4. Is there too much cricket being played these days? (Listen)

All are MP3 format.

I know the questions were tame, but I wanted easy to start off with in the first session. In the next one, the questions will be harder and more specific, as well as ones that would bring forth more heated debate (with me involved more as well). Any feedback is welcome.

Enjoy!

Okay heard the first one. Was pretty good btw, good job guys.

So Sted's part isn't in the first one. I'll try the others.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Listening to the first piece. Pretty good I have to say. Probably better than the cricinfo roundtable in terms of the quality of analysis.

 

[Goughy]

Just done the 1st one and Im pleasantly surprised and pleased.

 

[Turbinator]

Yeah the analysis for each has been superb... still can't find Sted's part.

 

[silentstriker]

Edited out the awkward pauses and things like that. But overall I didn't have to do much editing...30 seconds out of 55 mins is excellent quality IMO.

You sound so American, SS. Am listening to the first one though, good stuff so far

 

[James90]

Sean is struggling.

 

[silentstriker]

I still have a noticable accent though...but I've been here since I was about 11 (12 years now) so I'm pretty Americanized I'd say (aside from Cricket).

 

[James]

Excellent work guys, just finished listening to the first one

That was superb, I'm having a word to SS about integrating this onto the site properly at the moment

 

[James90]

Just listened to the second one. Didn't really follow Kev initially with the Bangladesh issue but made some good statement's at the end about a seperate topic.

 

[JASON]

I can't listen as no media player down load allowed at work.

My Lap top works on Vodafone Mobile connect, but this down load will eat up several GB's of my monthly allowance, So I won't be able to listen until I find a kindly friend who will let me listen on their PC.

 

[Matteh]

Listened to the first one. Goughy seems to be perfect for this sort of thing.

 

[adharcric]

SS sounds hilarious. I can still hear the Indian accent mate.

 

[Turbinator]

Yeah 3 British accents and one 95 percent american and 5 percent Indian accent.

 

[Goughy]

Listened to the first one. Goughy seems to be perfect for this sort of thing.

Ive always said you were my favourite poster Mat
