The discussion about what everyone did for Christmas is a new low for me. I DONT CARE WHAT YOU FLOGS DID FOR CHRISTMAS TALK ABOUT THE CRICKET FFS

Simon Katich built some Lego apparently.

Only took them 2 overs before they got back to the cricket. So they are improving

I actually think Healy isn't even the worst anymore. He is ****ing rubbish except when talking about keeping and actually being serious, Slater/Lee/Warne are just awful 24/7. Lee especially is so bland and boring, feel a bit bad because from all reports he's a lovely guy but stick to the WeetBix ads mate.

Hard to say much that hasnt been said before, but when Channel 10 do the BBL on an absolute shoestring budget, and it comes off as more intelligent than the Channel 9 Test cricket, there is a problem.

Except it doesn't come across as more intelligent than Channel 9. Maybe when Ponting is talking, that's about it.

Pizza discussion not far away

This is when they are in Test match mode too, it's only going to get worse as the shorter games take over the rest of the summer.

I reckon its marginal. And Channel 9 should be far more cerebral, given the format, resources and demographic.

To be fair, it is T20. Horses for courses and all that.

I'm finding, especially this year, the 10 commentary pretty unbearable.

"did you have seafood?"
"No no seafood, in the last few months i reckon I've been on a seafood diet, I see food and eat it"
It's like a comedy show where they deliberately just talk shit that has no relevance.

I actually think Healy isn't even the worst anymore. He is ******* rubbish except when talking about keeping and actually being serious, Slater/Lee/Warne are just awful 24/7. Lee especially is so bland and boring, feel a bit bad because from all reports he's a lovely guy but stick to the WeetBix ads mate.

I remember when Warne first came into the commentary game, he was fantastic. Sound knowledge of players and tactics. Since then he has degenerated into a boring self-indulgent bogan. He just talks crap now.

Movie reviews now....

 

[Father Jack]

We also don't care about what movies they've been to see

 

[hawkman]

Cricket talk lasted 2 overs

Its not great. But this stuff on Channel 9 is now 50% pure primal garbage.

Attention Brad McNamara - this commentary that you are serving up is a disgrace to the memory of the CCP. Get your inflated head out of your arse and get the focus back on the game and not the inflated egos of the overpaid sycophants sitting in Richie's chair

First morning of a Boxing Day test and I have learnt the following;

• Warnie spent Christmas Day in the pool
• Warnie's daughter had a lemonade yesterday
• Warnie's son is a big Star Wars fan and went to a midnight screening on release day in the company of several friends
  
• The Millenium Falcon reappears in The Force Awakens
• Warnie prefers ham to seafood
• Warnie has not stuck to his diet over recent months

We're privileged to have the greatest spinner in the history of the game in our commentary box.

 

[SportsCentre]

Having Bill Lawry for Boxing Day is a cruel reminder of what we used to have.

Can't we having Michael holding commentating don't we get a commentator from wi

He probably refuses to be part of this shit

Mikey has standards and is a considered voice in the game - he wouldn't fit in with the current clowns.

 

[hawkman]

Amazing that when commentating with Chappell and Lawry, Brayshaw almost sounds compentant. Yet put him with all the others and he will be speaking rubbish in no time

I watched a bit of a Carry On movie this morning.

It makes me wish that Charles Hawtrey, Kenneth Williams and Sid James were still alive and doing the C9 commentary.

He was really good on Sky in England a couple years back, he is awful now though.
