5th Test Border Gavaskar Trophy January 3-7 1000hrs @ the SCG

It’s a low bar but is Ricky Ponting the best commentator we have this summer? He’s the only commentator that I haven’t wanted to mute yet, and it’s really funny when he blatantly ignores stupid comments from the others.

As per Richie's advice, only opens his gob if he can add something

 

[rdhopkins2]

Shot from Head for 4.
Aussies surely have it now.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Head just pulls his buttcheeks apart and lays a massive deuce on Siraj's plate, who appeals it.

 

[smasha]

Bloody rippa Trav!

 

[Iceman!]

Yeah but it will still be Bumrah....his influence has been huge

fully fit Bumrah this innings with a lead of 200...india would've been favourites

Not disagreeing at all it should be, just historically they are hesitant to do it.

100% deserved though.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Shot of the Day.

Classic Travisnesness.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

I mean, they legitimately come from a culture where the elite (ie them) have servants do everything for them

There isn’t a more entitled group.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Post the passing of the Tri Series

Tri series was so good

 

[SSwans2011]

No irrational hatred here, just don't agree with the excessive praise for a kid who looks out of his depth when we have turned on every other player who has come in the past and done similar.

Where has there been excessive praise? Maybe in Melbourne in the first innings.

Since then it's been roughly half/half people shitcanning and defending (not praising) him.

And if this is the case, why did you specifically single him out without mentioning Labuschagne and Smith - both of whom he scored more than?

 

[Pistol Night]

Empty's seen enough

 

[010203]

Aha. There was another one that was really low scoring and Tubs took 4 catches or so ething

1993.

 

[rdhopkins2]

That doesn't prevent an lbw decision.

True. Can’t even remember if he was playing shot at it haha.

 

[MJG14]

Can we make Langer coach again to get him out of the commentary box

Got excited when I saw an article the other day about Langer getting a new coaching role.

Unfortunately it was for a team in The Hundred in England. Was hoping it would be a job that occupies him in the Australian summer.

 

[Babylove]

So Kholi’s strategy with Bumrah injured is just to bowl Siraj and Krishna and use a part timer to allow them to change ends?

 

[010203]

Fox team, I don't care that Bumrah is not out there.

Swings and roundabouts. We lost Hazlewood twice in this series.

They've missed Shami too.

 

[Iceman!]

Siraj going at a run a ball to close out the series.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

23 to go.

 

[The_Todd07]

So many free runs off the hip

 

[Grockadoc]

In home series maybe. But I'm still taking Haze for away series.

Possibly. I'd love to see what Boland could do on a pitch in England.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Watch him never get another sniff and they inexplicably recall Marsh.

Yep, Marsh lights up a Scorchers' T20 and earns a test recall

 

[Neese]

Yes, he is fantastic. Also a big fan of Isa on Foxtel.

Controversial take, but I'm also a JL fan.

I have liked Alyssa Healy too.

 

[Iceman!]

They've missed Shami too.

We were down Green as well.

 

[Anzacpaul]

Not sure which team I hate more between the poms and the Indians.

Both smug arrogant whinging campaigners.

 

[Pistol Night]

So Kholi’s strategy with Bumrah injured is just to bowl Siraj and Krishna and use a part timer to allow them to change ends?

Tactical wizardry at play here

Yep, I was talking about this last summer too.
He tends to talk almost exclusively about cricket, crazy for a cricket commentator.
