Cricket commentators

[Usarka]

How about some real ones, not washed up ex-players who don't have any other skills to earn a living.....


If there wasn't such a big lag with sky I'd have radio sport on and turn the useless cunts off.

Go the black caps :wari:

[Big Dave]

Advance Australia Fair and all that but God bless Smithy.

[Hitcher]

Ian Smith is a superb commentator. Very few others are capable of accurately calling a ball in realtime. And he is a wry and canny observer of the game.

And, apart from Brian Waddell on Radio Sport, name another commentator who isn't a former player?

kyle mills i thought did a good job on debut when he was injured too

doull, macmillan, styris and the rest i could do without. half the time they just present themselves/sound like illiterate blockheads

God bless Smithy.

[Big Dave]

I would have said advantage NZ currently - how goes Taylor goes the match

T'is enough to make the radio the preferred option.

Bring back journalists commenting on sport.

[Big Dave]

I appreciate Smithy the same way I did Richie. Maaaarvelous.

For all you kids watching at home, After decades of Ian Chapple and Tony Grieg I automatically turn the sound down and make my own observations anyway. So for you young fellows take a note of that, and this weeks limited edition special offer memorabilia, click..........

Former cricketers as commentators are not nearly as bad as former All Blacks calling a rugby match. Ian Kirkpatrick former All Black legend....... "Don't you just love it when the big men take it up"

Posted this elsewhere recently:

Rex Mossop is a famous Australian footballer who became the senior broadcaster and game caller for many years.

Retired in the late 80's/90's.

Rex had copped a few above the neck in his day.

But by force of personality he made a fabulous career which included a number of Yogi Berra-like quotables.

Lady Jane beach was a secluded and controversial nude beach in the suburb that the very successful people in Sydney live in.

Rex became the advocate for banning nude bathing on the beach and was interviewed on the steps that lead down to it - live on the National News.

In all innocence he said:

'I will not have other people's Genitalia rammed down my throat!'

So...OK, how did the game turn out today? Is it even finished yet? I don't have any means of watching or listening to it! Cheers, John.
