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

[Flametree]

It was disorienting seeing Starc be so much more economical than Hazlewood so good to see things starting to revert to the right order...

I don't include retiring Wagner as part of the dumb stuff. He got smashed last year, and SA smashed him this year. He's done.

Well yeah but I'd have picked a better or more talented bowler over either.

This commentary is rough to listen to. Brendon Julian as usual making a ton of basic observational errors and the colour commentator just won't stop talking and let the vision speak for itself.

[Dick Rockett]

"Game on" says Cricinfo, with NZ five down and 285 in arrears.

TV or radio comms?

Just checked the score again.

What the **** is going on?

TV. Obviously talking to fill time isn't an issue on radio.

Getting basic **** wrong is always a problem though.

New Zealand had a mega lolapse, then these two tried to BazBall their way out of it and it’s worked so far.

I figured. Our TV comms are garbage, with a few exceptions. Apparently, reacting to events on the field by gibbering like a baboon is acceptable in comparison with using, y'know, words.

Radio commentary is great. Pity it's not a closer game for them to discuss lol.

I'm resisting the urge to talk up Phillips and Blundell to avoid jinxing them but they have gone alright since tea.

We're still a long way from getting back into this game but at least they are making the score look a bit more respectable.

This commentary is rough to listen to. Brendon Julian as usual making a ton of basic observational errors and the colour commentator just won't stop talking and let the vision speak for itself.

Surely they could have got someone better than him, maybe the likes of Mark Waugh, Gilchrist or Ponting cost too much and they got BJ cheaper.

Haddin probably wouldn't cost much either, he's probably just greatful to get a commentary gig and a free flight over.

I gave up when they cut Bryan Waddle.

That got me as well. Everything he says you have to question. Started the stint saying “Phillips is driving beautifully” and I'm only half-watching but practically every run I’ve seen Philips score has been behind the wicket.
