*Official* Sri Lanka in Australia 2010

Lol @ Mark Taylor: "Sachin Tendulkar - the great Indian player -". Most unneccesary clarification ever.

80 really isn't too slouchy. But not only are we irrational cricket fans, we're on the internet as well. DROP HIM!!!1

Also, slick fielding down at third man there, excellent camera work (y)

There have been one or two really slow innings and a few innings that were good but could've been better in one or two areas.

Murali Vs Clarke, who will win this contest?

As opposed to Sachin Tendulkar the homeless man who is regularly seen eating out of bins and shouting at strangers about alien abductions around Melbourne.

Mark Taylor is a twit, i'll be buggered how he manages to even stay alive and do day to day things, seems borderline ******** sometimes.

 

[Jono]

Wonder how Murali will go. Will be interesting.

No Symonds or Ponting to deal with, who were the chief destroyers last time he was here.

If past experience is anything to go by, Clarke with ease. Had a very good time against Murali when he played in 06-07, check out his average against SL in tests...

haha harsh critique, but hilarious nonetheless.

Yeh I'd have to agree with that. Murali is no way at his best anymore as well.

It's clear the commentary is geared towards casual fans of the game who only really follow Australian cricket, particularly when it's an ODI. I definitely get the feeling Taylor's commentary - in particular - would be a lot more insightful if he found himself on radio or on Test Match Sofa. Healy's obviously a bit different though; clearly has no idea.

Still a league above your average air conditioner salesman, though.

Ive had that feeling for years and years, it seems they always treat every day like its the first time cricket has been broadcast on tv.

I will never buy Fujitsu!

These two need to settle a little. Work the ball and stop running at the bowler (literally)

 

[Burgey]

Mark Taylor would have more cricket knowledge in his little finger than every poster on CW added together, frankly. Save maybe Jack and SJS.

The problems with his commentary are his voice and the fact he's talking to a lowest common denominator audience, like Cribb said*.







* Cribb still a **** though.

 

[akilana]

randiv to take 3 wickets.

 

[Spark]

Can't go a single game without Clarke trying to take an insane run, can we?

 

[vic_orthdox]

Dead set, when there's a yorker, ball sounds like its hitting the stumps, not the bat. Third time I've looked up thinking that someone must've been bowled.

You just gave a wrap to two conservative voters in one post. What have you become?

Haha I've been thinking the same, but it's not even yorkers.

Sometimes it's just a full pitched ball mistimed and it sounds like someone has been bowled.

It's annoying me a lot.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Woah, hold the phone, I come across as a conservative? Jesus.

Getting that effect on radio too tbh.
