Life after Richie Benaud announces retirement

[Ikki]

I like Nicholas, don't see what there is to dislike.

Agreed.

Only good to come of Sky winning the Test cricket up here was the restriction of Nicholas to half an hour on channel nobody gives a ****.

Agreed. Hate the bloke.

When you have to trade it for that shocking classical remix of Dreadlock Holiday, it's instantly cancelled-out.

Yes. That is a pile of crap, but so's the devoid-of-anything-but-hyperbole Mark Nicholas. Hard to say what's worst, but I'd say Nicholas is as he goes on for longer.

 

[Richard]

Eh.

 

[Manee]

Sure, I'd love to have a good ole chat with Lennie from John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, but that doesn't mean I'd like him to pick up the microphone and tell us how he'd love to stroke and pet Michael Clarke, does it.

Yes. Never did I think it possible that one show's theme tune could so comprehensively trump another.

Lay off Healy, hes a nice guy.

Who here besides me has actually met him and talked to him?

Met him at a coaching clinic, way back when, and he was still an international cricketer at the time. Took the time to talk to all the kids there and actually pulled the gloves on and had a game with us. Super bloke.

The hate isn't based on him as a person, but as an awful and boring commentator.

Well he is fine except for when he is slobbering over the knobs of the top Australian players.

How about a thread dedicated to "Life after Richard announces his retirement"?

I am sure it will be more interesting.

 

[Perm]

Nicholas is Rabs and the rest of the team is Gus Gould or Peter Sterling.

Nicholas tells us all the useless information but makes it sound kinda exciting(THORPE! HACKETT! HACKETT! THORPE! THERES NOTHING IN IT!!)

Pretty insulting to both of them really. Nicholas and Warren have an excellent knowledge of their respective sports.

Well unfortunately(?) I will not be retiring for another 43 years. And it's rather frightening that that's all it is, really.

When I do, I daresay CW - if it is indeed still around - will be seeing an increase in posting.

That thread needs to be made. In fact if Richard could be distracted and his account hacked I'm sure it could be pulled off.

Haha, Pom is immense, have you seen some of the stuff he does in Pro20? Him and Danny Morrison..

 

[_Ed_]

Danny's haka was an embarrassment. Can't forgive him for that debacle.

Indeed. For the first time in my life I felt ashamed to be a Kiwi.
