A-wow-wa!

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

lol Sehwag. WOW at those cracks in the pitch in 90's and 80's.

Canyons you mean.

 

[Window]

Canyons you mean.

At first I thought Ambrose was just too lazy to drag his bat in but Healy said it got caught in the cracks. That's just ridiculous.

Yuck, Brayshaw or whatever is commentating.

One of the worst commentators in the country, along with that hudson muppet.

As in Anthony Hudson?

Don't mind him at all. One of the better AFL commentators going around.

 

[Yagharek]

Yes, him. Terrible commentator.

 

[crazy monkey]

how many runs do you guys think Australia will score at the end of the day?

 

[Yagharek]

This umpire giving all the not outs for the LBW appeals is pretty fucking good. Close calls and vindicated in both.

 

[Yagharek]

Siddle is all over this Indian top order. Great delivery.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Gambhir's face

 

[Grug]

Jeez, Dravid just can't protect his stumps this series.

 

[tri_willy]

the wall has a small crack called the siddler

 

[Window]

No Richie Benaud in Perth?

 

[bobnowhere]

No Richie Benaud in Perth?

Doesn't seem like it, hence Brayshaw.

Mitchell Starc was definitely unlucky not to get his LBW, but the rest have been good calls so far.

Ugh, really? I can't stand that muppet.

 

[Yagharek]

Gambhir is accidentally scoring runs.

 

[Yagharek]

Whooo, Tendulkar gone. 5 non-centuries this series, 3 more please.

 

[tri_willy]

little master plummed

 

[master15]

Bye bye Sachin.

 

[Rezbit]

Well done old mate. Plumb lb that.

Hilfy! Never in on this pitch by the looks!

 

[jambo]

India are in real trouble now.

I was hoping they'd put up a bit of a fight, so we could have some nice long batting sessions =\

As in Anthony Hudson?

He's one of the worst imo. I generally tend to dislike commentators who didn't play the sport they commentate.

 

[Yagharek]

Not any more.

 

[master15]

Two big strikes before lunch

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Look out, Aus better slow down or we will scare ourselves into a big collapse again.

 

[Dead Man]

He's one of the worst imo. I generally tend to dislike commentators who didn't play the sport they commentate.

Yeah, I can't think of a single commentator I like who didn't participate in some relatively high level of the game in question. It is no guarantee, plenty of ex players make terrible commentators, but it seems to be a precondition.

I have no problem with play-by-play guys who didnt play the game at a high level.

That's why I don't mind Huddo, he's good at what he does. The late Clinton Grybas was even better.

But yeah, for special comments, you want experience.

Yeah, play by play guy is different, that is why I don't mind Al Michaels on the NFL broadcasts.

 

[guidop]

Gerard Whateley! Dennis, Bruce there are plenty of good commentators that never played the sport at the highest level

 

[Grug]

****ing love Gerard Whateley. It's criminal that he doesn't call AFL games on TV while irritating hacks like Dwayne Russell and Matthew Campbell get regular gigs.

As for Commetti, meh. I think he's become a bit of a parody of himself in the last few years.

Can almost picture him there with a whole sheet of puns ready to go should the right situation arise. Just call the game Dennis.

Edit: anyway, back to the cricket, clearly Australia's session but as you can see by the fact that none of us are crowing about it, we know the Aussie top order is just as capable of this sort of collapse.

 

[crazy monkey]

how many runs do you guys think Australia will score at the end of the day?

I think around 75-100 monkey. India will be out in 150.

Clinton Grybas was sooo good. That call with Rex Hunt in the 05 Swans/Geelong final is my all time favourite.

Even though some of the coverage is a bit amateur, I like Damien Fleming and Mark Waugh on Fox.

 

[Dead Man]

LOL missed your first post. Given the situation before lunch, I reckon 150 is about right for India. Hoping they would fire better this match. Have to see how Australia does, I still have no faith in the first 4 batsmen achieving anything.

Gerard Whateley! Dennis, Bruce there are plenty of good commentators that never played the sport at the highest level

Dennis played WAFL in the 70's and 80's, VFL may have had more money and coverage, but there wasn't a national competition, so that counts as playing at a high level to me.

 

[Grug]

Clinton Grybas was sooo good. That call with Rex Hunt in the 05 Swans/Geelong final is my all time favourite.

Can highly recommend the Grybas/Hunt commentary track on the 2003 Grand Final DVD too.

Brisbane had the game sewn up by 3 quarter time and Rex pretty much spent the final quarter sticking his head out the comm box window getting in slanging matches with a few abusive Collingwood supporters.

Clinton was trying desperately to keep the coverage on the rails but in the end he just couldn't stop laughing.

God I miss him, he was the best.

 

[Dead Man]

Finally got to a TV, Starc looks in great form.

 

[artist]

Sehwag fails again .. time to drop him I think.

 

[Yagharek]

Sehwag fails again .. time to drop him I think.

That's up to Haddin.

 

[artist]

That's up to Haddin.

But he didnt even get a chance! Haddin confirmed for Adelaide test.

 

[artist]

Starc looks amazing, actually he looks more dangerous than Hilfenhaus and Siddle combined.

 

[Grug]

That's up to Haddin.

Underrated quip.

Sterling stuff.

 

[midonnay]

That's up to Haddin.

[Dead Man]

Ouch LOL

 

[artist]

No point in referring to 3rd umpire when you're unsure .. dont think the decision is going to be a surprise.

edit: Yup.

 

[jambo]

Last few overs have been so boring, grinding to a halt.

 

[Rezbit]

True jam. Also Starc is Johnson 2.0.

 

[jambo]

THEY GOT A RUN!!!

 

[artist]

smh @ Kohli, more sister/mother abuses coming your way.

edit: Laxman gone also. That 189 prediction from Ian Chapell is looking like a pipe dream.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Siddle!

 

[jambo]

150 I reckon.

 

[Rezbit]

Nah the tail enders will slog their way past 150. I'm putting it at around 200.
