Mark Nicholas talking about how Nathan Lyon is "teasing de Kock"

Which Warney reckons is "the line of the summer".

Showing how little Warney knows about wit or comedy.

Ten aren't perfect with the BBL but still way better than how 9 would ruin it.

I could sit and watch Mel all day #dontblushbaby

cool the big bash threads on here this summer may actually be good and not creepy as ****

 

[VogonProsthetnic]

Tubby is annoying but in a nice Bruce McAveney way! Just can't stop prattling on with whatever is in his head.

 

[Marstermind]

Who the hell says "bossing"? (as in "Australia are bossing this match.") Certainly no one even half the age of these commentators and definitely no one who doesn't sound like a flog when he does say "bossing." Would have heard it 3 or 4 times today and cringed every time.

 

[JackOutback]

The correct turn of phrase is 'like a boss'.

 

[Illinois Nazi]

Either way, it's the sort of thing my kids would say, until their ages reached double digits.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Apart from the rising inflection there is something weird about Michael Clarke's voice, it sounds like he is holding the microphone to close to his mouth or something. Really annoying.

I think clarke just has a really annoying voice.

Knows his stuff but does not have the voice for commentary

Warne teaching kp how to talk teen now. Bossing and boss it

Leon "Boot" Hill.

I'd like to know how some people who are at the ground to enjoy a day of cricket could possibly listen to the ch 9 feed.

I would say a fair few. A lot of kids do.

I guess the kids aren't sick of them yet like most of us are.

 

[Wolfs]

I guess the kids aren't sick of them yet like most of us are.

To be fair they might be listening to ABC. But a lot of people do buy those things or use their phones for radio. I don't do it because I'm with people and also feel it takes away from the atmosphere and my phone battery sucks and I'm not shelling out for those headphone things.

 

[happy_eagle]

The earpiece things are sold at the ground if i'm not mistakken. I think it was originally something Sky did during their summer tests.

I remember taking portable radios to the cricket used to be quite popular (not just earphones either)
Nothing like sitting on the grass bank of the WACA with the radio commentary going on in the background

Sam McClure said on 3aw last night that there was a huge argument at a dinner before the Adelaide Test between 2 ex-captains from the Ch 9 commentary team.
He hinted that it was Chappell and Clark, and said it was so nasty that other people intervened to spot it going further

McClure said it 20 mins into last night's show:

Far more painful than watching Australia lose the first two Tests was listening to Ian Chappell recall a story from his playing days during the Adelaide day-night match. He mentioned how an opposition player with the surname Boothill (we think that’s how it’s spelt) once advised him that a 40 not out would do the future Aussie captain no harm in a game earlier in his career. Chappell then cleverly used this anecdote as a segue into making the brave call that an unbeaten 40 from Matt Renshaw in the second innings run chase wouldn’t do the debutant any harm either.

No s***, Sherlock. I think we all could have figured out scoring 40 not out would be better than getting bowled for 11. The most interesting part of this commentary was actually Ian Healy trying to clarify Mr Boothill’s surname.

haha.

when did ch 9 introduce cameras focussing on the commentators? there is no reason for it, other than to piss off us viewers
