Michael 'good shape' Clarke could greatly improve his commentary by affixing a piece of gaffer tape over his gob.

Can we get Slater back for later in the summer? Think he's been excellent

He has to be the worst captain ever for such a great player though. Not sure his university had any leadership courses on offer

Tbf that had more to do with him being a wet noodle as a personality than anything tactical/strategic

Often the best batsman in the team gets the captaincy by default. That really isn't always wise, Tendulkar a classic example

He was just part of the 90s/00s Indian captaincy merry-go-round. They all had a go at some stage, except Laxman.

Chanderpaul was even worse on this measure. Even taking into consideration that he as probably only about 80% as good as Tendulkar as a batsman, he was about about 40% as good as a captain, and that's saying something because Tendulkar really sucked as a captain. Chanderpaul was an ATG in terms of bad captaincy; it was truly a sight to behold.

Generally been fine with the commentary this WC but the 'banter' between the NZ & Oz comms today (esp Clarke & McCullum) has been pretty tedious.

One last complaint: This website.
It's worse than TMS, it's worse than Sky, it's worse than Twitter for ****'s sake.
I glanced through the match thread today and learned that every time England were smashing it, it's a terrible 400 par pitch with short boundaries. Every time India have gained back some control, England can't bat. No praise for either side, no observations. Not even jokes - the 'banter' isn't banter. It's just insults. They're different.
Every time I come back to this site during this tournament the match threads are consistently ful of sneering, whining, ignorant as **** posting and I'm just so, so tired of it. I've never felt like this about CW before.

You're right, posting standards haven't been good at all. It will be a shame if the News & Politics subforum posting style (animosity and sneering) spills over to the rest of the forum. The only thing that keeps me coming back here is that there are some posters I really like and look forward to reading their views.

Agree that there's not enough credit for either side. Some have decided England are hacks and thus them having a good period of batting against a perceived great bowling attack means said bowling attack are actually all frauds.
I probably shouldn't be getting involved in long arguments with Burgey about such things when it's just his brand. Probably stinks up the thread for everyone else.

Is it just me or is Ganguly a bit of a miserable ****? Life and soul of any party, I’m sure.

He's still better than Tendulkar. Tendulkar was garbage. All he did was come in and talk about UNICEF and some generic bullshit and dipped. He sounds like my 70 year old maid.
