    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series 2007-08

    I read this, totally agree with everything you said. Never thought of it that way tbh.

    Rate: Ch.9 commentators

    yes, i am fairly certain about that. However to even say something like that does more harm than good. IMO anyway

    It's okay to have a patriotic commentator in the box, as we need the passion, However, Healy would be no better than a random bogan grabbed from the crowd with flip-flops, a beard , an Australian tanktop and the flag.Some of the things he says about Australia are ridiculously optimistic. Most...

    Test cricket should have 6 days of play

    Just make pitches which have something for both batting and fielding. No need to extend the test match. Remember the World XI test match in Sydney a while back? Only went 4 days from memory, two days lost there. There is nothing worse than watching a batting bonanza IMO, in a test match...

    Reserve Days for all ODI'S?

    Yeah :(

    Reserve Days for all ODI'S?

    I am all for this. I don't like to see a washed out match. Fridays forecast rain in sydney will probably make it 3 from 3 in the CB series. Pity it is. For- Would almost guarantee a finished match, even if it were to be played over two days, spectators would get what they paid for. Against-...

    Bill's commentary on Friday night was a standout, albeit with a few mistakes. He refered to Irfan Pathan as a wicketkeeper twice =/, among others, but at least he has excitement. An aging man thinking at 1000 km/h is bound to make a few mistakes :laugh: Why we don't hear a lot of commentary of...

    I would get rid of Healy first tbh. When asked whether Australia would have won after the final rain delay, he said 'easily' which was far from the case. Slater and Nicholas made him quickly back pedal. What a one-eyed supporter =)

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    A poor performance from India, the MCG isn't their type of ground. Slow, low and long boundaries. We have seen that twice this summer. Expect better performances on other grounds. I agree with pup, an International game should never be referred to as 'practice'. I was like wth when I heard that...

    I hope James Brayshaw gets a full time comm position. I really liked his commentary in the last 20-20 match against NZ. Really likeable and enthusiastic. Langer was a bit cliched, as someone said before, but he has a very up to date knowledge of the game. Overall he wasn't bad considering it...

    Being trying to find footage of Symonds commentary during the CB series last year. Can't find any, I wonder why?:laugh: As mentioned before by a few people, I really like the way Slats and Tubby get at each other. It is really quite funny, I lol whenever it happens.

    I remember Symonds doing some commentating during the finals of the CB series last year. It was goddamn painful to hear,I hope he doesn't retire young:laugh: . I will usually keep the cricket on at all times, but I was considering switching off the TV, it was that bad. The actual match was good...

    I think that the 9 comm box is overloaded with commentators. Some contribute nothing. I think Greig is past his time. O'Donnell isn't the right type for television and Healy isn't needed, Taylor and Slater both do a better job as young commentators. Rid of Chappell, keep Lawry and Richie for...

    Richie 10/10- The best, the voice and brain of cricket. Isn't on air enough in my opinion. Hope he continues to call until he can no longer do so. Nicholas-8.5/10- Not an entertaining commentator, but a very professional one. Calls the game as he sees it, seems quite collected, and has a nice...

    does the super 8 go to long

    IMO, Ireland have been better than bangladesh thus far. They haven't disgraced themselves by any means, although they are yet to verse NZ, Aus or Sri which are far superior than anything they have faced thus far, (except for SA, but IMO SA= Overated) Bangladesh on the other hand have been...

    Super Eight

    I think that if a game is reduced to say a 20 over per side match, those 20 overs should be completed on the first day, then they should try and complete the match on the reserve day. If play is delayed then only should overs be reduced. Its ridiculous IMO, and I would be really peeved off if...

    Super Eight

    Man, it has just been one of those crappy days for me, wanted to go and sit back and watch some cricket, but no, that ain't happening either? The weather during this world cup has been strange, IMO.

    Minnows - Do we need them, do they improve with us?

    Bangladesh can no longer be considered a minnow, they have proven several times they can mix it with the best and they will be at least competitive in the super 8's On the other hand, Ireland may not be as competitive, but if other teams begin to assume that they will whip them and don't...
