Arise Sir Geoffrey

[flibbertyjibber]

Well there is no way that he could have done the upcoming series and he seems to have taken that as the end. Probably be back next summer when they realise that the summarisers they have are bland and boring.

Who is going to replace Bob Willis in Sky Sports test match evenings?

 

[Bijed]

I've become very fond of Sir Geoffrey of late - if you stalk him on twitter he bites, as does David Gower - Sir Beefy, sadly, doesn't

It would be more in character if he just blocked you tbh

Doesn't think women cricketers should be commentating test cricket, if I needed any more reasons to think boycott is a ****

 

[honestbharani]

Lol.. love his commentary but what a PoS... Funny thing is he could not have written "women's cricket" and made an actual valid observation. But he has to go **** it up with a ***ist remark.

 

[Spikey]

to be 100% clear, he's referring to the 'expert' analysis part of it, limiting it to only male test cricketers

he's 100% wrong anyway. and most of the experts are ****

 

[honestbharani]

I can state easily at least within the Indian commentators..


Anjum Chopra >>>>>> Sanjay Manjrekar


and Anjum is bland as they come as a commentator. Still miles better as an expert analyst than Sanju Manju can ever dream of.

a friend of mine gets very angry at the existence of female commentators at mens games. tbf, she is a cantabrian, you can't expect her to have sensible opinions.

I always wonder when they are going to start hiring women to coach the womens' teams. Seems to be mostly men.

One day the day might dawn when people get jobs on merit. At the moment we live in an age of positive discrimination in order to encourage previously "victimized minorities". Women are chosen because they're women. I actually don't have a problem with any of the female cricket commentators who have emerged so far. I can't say the same for the football, but whether any of them are worse than Michael Owen is debatable.

Uh-oh

I imagine this current crop of australian cricketers will fill a lot of coaching roles. moving from a full time professional career to a coaching gig seems a logically easier step than someone who is splitting their time between their cricket career and another profession
