To clarify, stupid for on-air public presenting. Talking about his jock strap and budgies with Isa, his opinion on himself and just generally the way he talks would be very scary for PR people

Wasn't listening to him then sound was off but controversial opinion, surprisingly I didn't mind him the commentary box when I watched a game before. Also had the courtesy to stop talking during a delivery which some of the other moppets can't seem to understand.

Kayo minis are the only way to watch NFL. All the action without the drudgery in between.

I reckon I could handle full games if they just stayed with the commentators during the gaps in play, but the constant cuts to ads are unbearable.

It's a something where as a neutral you just watch the last quarter if it happens to be close, funny given how long they go for but it also seems to be a game conducive to tight last moment finishes.

I think athletes being totally clean at the top level is the rare example. The technology to gain an advantage is ahead of the technology to test for it.

Tye has been really expensive this year and most of his wickets have been luck more than skill. Drinking his bathwater.

He kinda always has....

 

[Taylor]

Does Tye have an IPL contract?

I don't believe so

Scorchers win was closer than it could have been if not for Finch managing to hit the ball cleanly after scratching around early in his innings.

Home final for the Scorchers is a great result and sets up a good platform for a tilt at the title.

The Australian Open is heading towards the most boring as batshit finals matches since the dying days of Kooyong in the 70s when it was a joke tournament.

Novax will walk it in.

Tsitsipas can beat Novak

 

[Square Peg]

Tsitsipas can beat Novak

I don't think so, unless Novak tears his hammy properly

 

[Spirit Level]

Anyone else try to get BBL tickets just then?

****ing hell Ticketmaster is a shitshow

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

No Jhye for the Scorchers =(

Khawaja finally playing the innings I've been expecting. Heat are going to win easy here

Khawaja is one of the best batsmen to watch when he gets going, effortlessly majestic.

Something about the lefties. For all his criticism on his selection Shaun Marsh is my favourite of all time to watch when on, followed by Ponting and Gilly

 

[gaskin]

Glory with a 2-2 draw in NZ. That is now 5 games unbeaten with the next 3 at home. There is a chance for a serious shot at playing finals which seemed unthinkable before the World Cup break.

Lara and Sangakkara.

You could set your watch to a Shaun Marsh cover drive.

I haven't been keeping up with the BBL this year, hasn't seemed all that worth it, worth watching the Scorchers tonight though?

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Lara and Sangakkara.

Very good picks. Sanga one of those players that looked like you had no chance of getting him out when he was on

If Steve Smith lights it up it could be epic

Mark Waugh and Damien Martyn also easy on the eye.

 

[Johnny Dalmas]

If Sangakarra was an Indian or Australian he would be unanimously considered one of the greats of all time.

I think genuine fans of test cricket do. Outstanding player.
