You know what really grinds my cricketing gears?

[pasag]

I'm a Mark Nicholas fan. Make no apologies for it tbh. He's the best commenator after Benaud imo.

Cricket cliches

They are repeated again and again...

 

[Pratters]

But IF he could?

He wouldn't care even then. There are so many people and it is insignificant for him if x from trillions who call his name puts it differently. Except if he is the editor of Wisden.

State bias in Australia

So annoying. Honestly, I couldn't care less if there aren't any Victorians in the national side if we're winning. It's always nice to have someone representing us (vic) and to cheer for at the MCG but the bias you see from some fans toward certain players and in their hometown media is just astounding. Does my head in sometimes.

Zonal bias in India.

So annoying. Honestly, most Indians couldn't care less if there are no Bengalis in the national side if they're winning.

Never really heard him go on about Hussey and Langer when he was playing TBH.

Probably because he doesn't perceive them as "natural, raw talent" and are more gritty hard workers, don't think that excites him as much.

O...K...

I'll try not to correct someone's misspelling of a name when you're around.

I like names to be spelt proprerly, though, mytself.

What are you smoking? Send me a bit of it please for it will prevent me from wanting to shoot me ears the next time I hear Nicholas' voice.

Totally agree, I'm a big fan to. He oozes class IMO and is easily the best with words.

I am just kidding around regarding the whole debate about the topic and I am sure you are too.

Hoped the "mytself" conveyed that well enough...

Hehe. Missed it earlier as was scanning through the posts while watching the cricket along with it.

Mark Nicholas loving Michael Clarke/Symonds etc...

Mark Nicholas, full stop.

FFS, Mark Nicholas-haters grind my cricketing gears.

He's doing what he's paid to do - make a fuss. So complain to the producers.

Seconded, I could understand people complaining if he was just a moron like Healy, but he has been made the "poster boy" for cricket commentary basically and is paid to make a fuss.

 

[The Baconator]

Commentators saying the same things about a player/team over and over again, especially when it's not that accurate ITFP.

"New Zealand have no superstars, they're just a tight-knit bunch"
"Australian straight-talkers can't be stomached by over-sensitive Indians"

Oh, sorry Alex...
