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

[G Mus]

Norcross is in the country, 100% he should be in 9s box

 

[Carl Hooper]

Warne nearly looks like a person of colour in that picture. Could be some diversity there from the sun bed loving cat

yooooooo lmaooo

I'm crying

 

[Carl Hooper]

Why even bother with the Ch9 commentary anymore? Just line up your TV with the ABC digital broadcast and avoid these awful shittrucks altogether.

guy at work told me to do the same...
I said 'aint it a second or 2 behind the tv coverage?'

he said uhh yeah.. that would drive me mad.
you ever watched a dodgy movie where the talking doesnt match the lips moving?
that kills me lmaoo

Yeah you would need some sort of live pause set up so you could match it up.

is Bumble coming down?? that's all I care about

Is Bumble not bothering to come down or is he doing radio stuff?

Sky lost the Australian home series rights to BT sport a few years ago in the UK (which includes this Ashes series), so no Bumble. I think that deal finishes the year before the 21/22 ashes so theres the possibility of sky getting it back then.

 

[Stopher]

The criticism of Ch.9's Ashes line-up is a bit OTT when you look at how much they've promoted the women's game the last couple of seasons.

If you have access to a digital radio the synching actually lined up pretty well last summer. It was only just at the point that it was noticeable, but no more significant than that.

Alison Mitchell is her name

She's quality. Not a fan of shoehorning a woman in for the sake of diversity but Alison would be thoroughly deserving.

I hope KP is able to keep his dislike of the ECB and Alistair Cook under control

Fortunately Warne and Ian Chappel will be there to pull him into line, the masters of not letting personal grudges interfere with your commentary...

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Sky-Warne is good, Nine-Warne not so much

It's astonishing when you hear the Nine commentators working elsewhere but it probably shouldn't be. They obviously all know a lot about cricket but Nine direct them to dribble shit.

 

[JG22]

Chappell vs Taylor for worst caller is a tough one

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

I must be the only one that doesn’t mind Tubby. He is the least up himself one.

 

[Aussie_boy]

I somewhat enjoy Chappell. Worst caller would have to be Sthalekar and that's saying something.

 

[Costanza_]

I don't mind Taylor. Seems like a genuinely good bloke which I can't say for any of the others. Kind of a dorky uncle vibe.

 

[Cainozz]

Taylor is my favourite out of all of them. Has a lot of sympathy for out of form batsmen and is very good when speaking technically about the deficiencies in their technique.

It's Slater and Healy that sound like nails on a chalk board, especially when Warner comes out to bat. 'Boom' goes the little pocket rocket, Daveyy Warner!! *cringe*

Not that fond of Warne's commentary, just blabs on a lot with his mate Clarke. Chappell complains about anything. Really hope they bring in Bumble for some commentary this summer.

 

[Plugger35]

It would be good if they could invent a robot Richie Benaud to commentate, they could just program it with old tape recordings of his commentary, it would be better than listening to some of the pillocks they have on Ch9's coverage these days.

 

[JG22]

I somewhat enjoy Chappell. Worst caller would have to be Sthalekar and that's saying something.

Chappell is massively biased and has absolutely no scope on the context of international cricket.

 

[Plugger35]

Chappell is massively biased and has absolutely no scope on the context of international cricket.

He's biased towards certain players but he's not an Aussie cheerleader like Slater and Healy, he's quite happy to hop into Australia if they aren't playing well.

Exactly this. Digital radios have come with a pause/rewind function for quite a while now, doesn't take long to find a nice sweet spot and then you can listen to quality commentary instead of the sewerage that the 9 clowns dish up.

 

[aflcliche]

No token commentator

To me a grudge should be nothing more than a place to park your car.

That's probably fair.

Maybe just more overall negative. Last time Pakistan were here he said something like they shouldn't bother touring even though we struggle just as bad on subcontinent

This.

Healy is borderline f***ing ret@rded he is so stupid.

 

[Oscarman]

Most of them were much better during the last World Cup.

They weren't working for Nine on that.

This would have been poor Ritchie near the end.
