What about the fans coming home from the shops or the beach who want to watch but don't have digital?
Only if they're getting pumped, "Wouldn't Australia have loved Mitchell Johnson today", etc.MJ's spell to be mentioned a few times imo
Looking forward to:
- Seeing how many times the trotting track is mentioned
- How many times Richie mentions the Fremantle Doctor coming in
- Ian Chappell regaling us with stories about how Jeff Thompson used to hit the sight screen on the full whilst bowling
Loved this. The word WACA will be mentioned at least 40 times before lunch on Day one. As well as some description of the legendary bounce and whether this year's version of the pitch will live up to that.All of the regular cliches from this summer so far will be in force too.
- Tony Greig blaming BCCI for all of cricket's ills
- Ian Healy saying something offensive about a former cricketer then everyone nervously laughing it off
- Heals or Slats to mimic Richie's way of saying "2" at least once
- At least one shot of Brett Lee bowling in the nets
- How the outfield is "lightning quick"
- Richie (most likely candidate) complaining about the slips being too deep
- Someone stealing Bill Lawry's "It's all happening"
- Tony Greig talking up KFC Hotspot
- Richie mentioning a random moment from a test match played in the 1940s or 50s
- Curator's name mentioned at least 10 times before lunch
- If Warner gets out - "that's just how he plays". If Sehwag gets out - "terrible shot, he should know better."
Plus, they've increasingly mentioned how Siddle runs in all day this season. I'm tipping Slats to be the first to mention it in this test match.

It has been 30 years tbf..Loved this. The word WACA will be mentioned at least 40 times before lunch on Day one. As well as some description of the legendary bounce and whether this year's version of the pitch will live up to that.
I actually love it with Bill says its all happening. He's been using that for what seems like 30 years.
