I presumed they'd just redesigned a bit for the new tournament. Anyway, I'll send them something anyway and see if they respond.

Thought the commentary was decent in the Scotland match, but yeah abit of a shocker re: the dropped catch run out situation.

Whilst we're complaining... the mascots' uniforms. What is this? A Persil demonstration day? They also look like they're about as thick as Broad's reserves of bottle. The poor bloody kids must be borderline hypothermia cases here.

It just displayed "Coverage - ESPN Star Sports" at the start of this match.

Ah, fair enough.

Bish & Coney a cut above tho, it must be said. Nice double act. Actually do more than just call the play.

First game I've watched, and have enjoyed these two so far.

Haha, curious to see what Dada would be like on commentary

FFS, the likes of Harsha Bhogle shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the commentary box.

They're just getting paid to talk whatever they want..LoL

When Hussain & Lloyd were discussing the role of a leg-spinner in T20 cricket, he was asking dem for a break.

Sanjay Manjarekar & Alan Wilkins are **** & I did not heard any Aussie commentator, yet.

duffer · 07-06-2009, 04:42 AM

Harsha is a good radio commentator but waffles a bit too much for TV imo. Enjoyed Kumble yesterday, sounded so hilariously Anil like. A few stutters but I'm sure he'll iron out the chinks in the armour over time.

G.I.Joe · 07-06-2009, 10:54 AM

No idea if Gavaskar is commentating on the WC currently, but if he utters the word 'fella' once more, or has us believe that every player from the West indies sports a Jamaican accent, I'm going to hurl the remote at the TV.

BoyBrumby · 07-06-2009, 12:39 PM

Quite liking Nasser & Chappelli as a combo too. Bit of friendly needle, but both thinking about what's going on.

Like a PhD level Greig & Lawry, kinda.

Harsha is one of the best. I dont know what ticked you off.. Agree on Sanjay and tahat Wilkins though.. Bumble has to be one of the best...

Don't like Nasser at all for twenty20 cricket, he's okay for tests, but spouts a bunch of cliched crap most of the time in twenty20
