Yeah he’s good value tbh

 

[Molehill]

Yeah he’s good value tbh

He also seems to have the key skill in that he doesn't try and say too much, far more Benaud than current style blabberers.

I tend to prefer it when commentators let the game speak for itself sometimes. Some don't do that, and it's annoying.

Yeah,
Occasionally one comes along who’s really good. Then the producers/ PR folks get to them and they become cheerleaders with verbal diarrhoea, sadly.
One of the worst examples was Ian Healy of all people, whose early work was excellent. Then he became Ian Healy.

He's embracing the school of punditry whereby batting strategy comes down to one big dial with Aggressiveness written on it, and the solution to poor performance is always either to turn it up or turn it down.

he's been given the gift of the gab this is well known

Exactly halfway there for SA

212/10 split in half is 106/5

Interesting disagreement between the commentators over whether you should slow down before/after a break. I'm with Broad. You don't pass up on opportunities to score runs because it would be a more annoying time to get out.

Got it on mute as on a Teams call, but who is disagreeing with him?

I'm not sure, but the two others both disagreed quite strongly. The argument was that it's letting your team mates down if you get out playing an attacking shot just before lunch.

Bedingham put away a couple of loose deliveries from Cummings yesterday evening when some of his team mates had missed out on some definite scoring opportunities earlier in the innings. Better to show some intent IMO.

No idea why Webster is still bowling

 

[cascade]

Oh dear...

 

[Primrose_D12]

Er... what's going on here?

 

[cascade]

Bit silly to handle that when there was no need.

 

[Number 11]

That looked like it might fall out the side of the pad before he handled it.

 

[Primrose_D12]

Followed up with some nice shots at least.

 

[Uppercut]

That’s out if they appeal for it right?
