Certified Legendary Thread The absolute brilliance that is the C9 commentary team. CC: Brad McNamara

[Wolfs]

Honestly. C9 has been a lot better than last season. That was bad.

This season is a lot better. Less blokey than it used to be. Obviously not close to perfect but listening to the INdian commentary last night for a while. Geez. I would take C9 every day of the week.

Healy in particular, seems to have reigned in the cheerleading. It was unbearable to listen to last year.

Brace yourself for the channel seven equivalent once the tennis starts.

I'm already sick to effing death of My Kitchen Rules!!

 

[Big Bryza]

Ian Chappell is brilliant. His assessment of players is first class and there would be very little he doesn't understand about the game. He has more knowledge in his little finger than most Big Footy posters who enjoy being ignorant.

Thanks Chapelli.

It's considerably better this year. Coming off a low base though.

Welcome Back, Bill

#progress.

Honestly, he's been great paired with Chappelli, Taylor, and Nicholas. Just keep him away from Warne and Slater and he's fine.

Listened to a bit of the ABC and the usual. Alison Mitchell is top notch as usual and Bucky is awesome. But all in all both commentaries have been fine other than Warne who's been trying hard to be an entertainer rather than a commentator.

 

[Pedantic]

Slater butchered the call of Lyon's wicket

 

[Doss]

Welcome Back, Bill

I look forward to being told to listen to the roar of the crowd after every wicket...

I agree though, it's good to have a bit of the old guard back even if the old fella is a bit repetitive at times.

 

[legend166]

Bill is great but if any other commentator said what Bill says about the DRS they'd be slaughtered. He basically hates it because it ruins his call of a wicket. Who cares if it was the right decision!

 

[The 747]

I do like their constant whining about the scoring rate, when we have just been handed our asses home and away trying to keep a good scoring rate.....

 

[troybe]

God Michael Clarke loves the sound of his own voice, says the same thing two or three times. And shut when the ball is being bowled to ya twit

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Nice tautology from Tubby interviewing Allyse Perry. He introduced her as the most successful women's sportswoman. As opposed to the men sportswomen Tubs?

 

[Stopher]

I've gotta say, Tony Greig's call of Warne's hattrick was brilliant.

I miss Tony. Never got the hate he copped in his last few years on the job. One of the voices of my childhood summers.

 

[Tyberious Funk]

I'm really liking Alison Mitchell on ABC radio... professional, knowledgeable and a good voice for calling the game. Reckon she'd be good on Channel Nine -- might break up the "boys club" attitude amongst some of the regulars.

 

[kickazz]

Reviewing the list of highest scores by PAK batsmen vs Australia:

Slats: that top score, i played in that game.....

Kickazz (thinking): oh good, well get some insights, from someone that was there, on that great innings....

Slats: Tubs dropped him.......


Ah yes, ch9 commentary team, never stop making it about you......

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Waqar Younis is so annoying...

Nah I'm enjoying listening to him. Wasim as well. Shame Raja isn't here also

Now, Pup I do wish would STFU.

 

[CURVE]

Mark Nicholas just interviewed Wasim Akram. He was talking about how to swing the ball, I hope the Aussie boys were watching. Maybe invite him to conduct a coaching session or two. I still think he is the second best pace bowler I've ever seen, behind Lillee.

Would be nice to hear Wasim in the commentary box, maybe he and Waqar Younis could do a few overs together.

He's already done a masterclass on it

^ I vaguely remember Bradman, or someone with almost as much clout, saying Akram was the best left-arm pace bowler they'd seen.

What's wrong with Nicolas? There's a report that he's gone back to hospital, but there are no details.

Ha.
