He did in the thread's early days, as he had a Google alert on his name. I doubt he does any more, he is really only interested in being told what he wants to hear.

The Millenium Falcon reappears in The Force Awakens

WTF

[Adelaide Hawk]

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

Simply because Chappell and Lawry want to talk about cricket.

Han Solo is in it too. (In the movie that is, not the Millenium Falcon - not at first anyway)

 

[peternorth]

i reckon they talk non cricket stuff to mask their deficiencies when it comes to talking actual cricket, the players, or whats actually relevant

Nine Network Sport boss Steve Crawley was quoted this morning in The Australian, on BBL and Michael Slater:

“I reckon Slats (Michael Slater) and Heals (Ian Healy) and Warnie would eat them for breakfast,” Crawley said. “What they’re all doing is entirely different. You can’t call a Test match like you call Perth versus Hobart. Slats is the most exciting caller in cricket. Those guys on Ten aren’t calling the moment. They have a caller there with them. They do the extra commentary. Slats will lead a commentary team. I’d back Michael Slater against anyone, in any form of cricket, anywhere in the world, as the leader of the pack.”

I'll have whatever he's smoking.

Burns drives holder for a boundary and slater pipes up with that's the first boundary off holder

No you dolt - burns hooked him for 4 the over he bowled before. While you were commentating. Try paying attention to the game.

Too much booze in his plum pudding

And therein lies the problem with nines commentary. These idiots think the monkeys they employ are doing a good job

 

[JackOutback]

Are they really trying to suggest Slater as the commentary box leader in years to come?

What a drooling vegetable.

Well Slater is more than 10 years younger (than Nicholas)

 

[Father Jack]

If you can't call a Test match like you'd call T20 then why did they feel the need to stick 'the leader of the pack' in a cherry picker and crap on about it for the best part of two hours?

 

[JackOutback]

I always assumed it would be Taylor. When he's not being dragged down, he's almost acceptable.

And, finally, all hope was lost.

 

[Cleavy]

And, suddenly, all hope was lost.

Did we have any hope to start with?

 

[bombersfan4000]

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

Michael is probably to embarrassed to be heard commentating with the current bunch

 

[MisterMarcus]

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.

Balls, big sticks, thick wood, fine legs, maiden overs.....the double single entendres would write themselves....

 

[Phone]

The most concerning thing currently about Warne is his current trend of picking "all time greatest" teams. The man is such a massive poser and he truly should not be encouraged over something like this

 

[Stillwaiting]

I always assumed it would be Taylor. When he's not being dragged down, he's almost acceptable.

Taylor is not acceptable at any point in time, he is a babbling fool. He should stick to trying to say plasma vision, at least that's mildly amusing

 

[western royboy]

Bring back Mike Walker?

 

[Van_Dyke]

Bring back Mike Walker?

Bring in Ray Warren
