Enjoyed Russel Arnold's commentary not directly for his words but how he humorously he kept on pointing out how 'one eyed' everyone in the com box was being (esp the newbie Harris, who was practically begging something good to happen for NZ every ball). For an overseas viewer the continuous shots of the Highlanders training, local weather jokes and unexplained/outdated references to provincial/high school rivalries must be somehow even more painful....

Although in fairness the title of the 'Cumming Your Way' segment alone is enough to make up for it :laugh:

Yeah if they don't have some serious direction it'll go the way of Channel Nine.

Mark Richardson can be a good analyst when he has the right direction, but he needs someone to remind him this isn't CGW.

Technology not working apparently, which meant Doug couldn't review that. Seems a bit off that.

That's the 2nd time in 12 months that this has happened at uni oval. Not a great look - though I suppose its probably more the sky team's fault than the venues.

Then we have the below pathetic article on Stuff, where the writer (troll) clearly has no feeling for test cricket at all, no love of the real game, wants to see a 5 day hit and giggle match rather than the guts and courage that makes the game truly magnificent at times.

After South Africa's go-slow tactics, New Zealand and Australia show how it's done | Stuff.co.nz

It's best to not read a lot of the articles on Stuff so as to keep the blood pressure down, or at least close them once you say the 'Mark Reason' tagline or some of the dribble in that article.
