Time to get Duminy on to 'spin' the ball away from the lefties.

While I think he's horrible, Mark Nicholas' book was useful in revealing a bit about the philosophy of commentating in the Channel 9 environment. Referred to a time early in his tenure with C9 (back when he was just kinda annoying) when he was commentating on a game that was winding down in cold and miserable conditions. He said as much on the air, and Kerry Packer rang him up and gave him a bollocking for not promoting the game. That came back to mind yesterday when Philander got out, and I think Ian Healy shouted "that's a huge wicket for Australia" - which it of course wasn't. Philander hadn't been at the crease for long and the damage had been largely done by that point. But with Channel 9, every wicket and every run has to be 'special' so that the punters will keep their eyeballs on the screen.
