The Cricket Thread

[mightyrooster]

Just seen Trent Robinson on the Channel 7 Cricket Coverage talking with Pat Cummins and Travis Head in the players area at the SCG.

I saw it watching the game.

Great centuries from Head and my fave Steve Smith. I love watching the Sydney test. And only one session washed out so far.

Am I on me pat malone in finding chanel 7s coverage very irritating?
I mean they're all butt crawling bobbleheads,
And they love themselves.
I'm sick of seeing the camera pan on the commentary box showing one of them shoving the mic up his nose while the other two grin and nod like the stupid bobbleheads they are.
Then they cross to that ridiculous puss in boots character waving a cricket bat in front of a big screen talking nonsense.
And then you get the gay openers, hayden and langer, who retired from batting and took up butt crawling.
Alas I sadly fear it's only gonna get worse, because they haven't finished ass kissing that whinging muslim idiot.
Just to add insult to injury we get to watch the same terrible commercials 684 times a day.

Rant over.

I watch Foxtel. Too many annoying commentators on 7.

Don't have Foxtel so watching 7 but have the volume turned down 90% of the time. The only time i have really listened to any commentary was in the car on the ABC radio and i had to turn it off as they were going on about other things and not the cricket just like Gould and co do on Nines NRL broadcasts.

I tried using the abc listen app, but the time lag was too annoying.

This Kwawja bloke?
He was plumb lbw, probably the most obvious one you'll ever see.
And what does the selfish prick do?
Goes straight on to waste a review.
He comes across as very self entitled off the field as well.

[Andrew Walker]

Can I just point out that Green bowled tripe yesterday.
What the hells he in the team for?
Specialist Fieldsman?

Oh Eddie Now he’s dropping catches as well

You must have missed him going up and congratulating Jacob Bethall on his maiden test century when they were walking off the field, hardly an act of someone so self entitled and playing his last test ever for Australia.

I watched the end of the this afternoons play on 7 but had the volume down while i had music playing while i was getting ready to go up the road for drinks and dinner, i walked into the local pub and not sure what pay TV channel they had on but David Warner was summing up the days play and i thought WTF go away but luckily the pub turned most of the other channels onto the United Cup tennis.

That does not contradict anything I said.
He's had people pissing in his pocket his whole career and has been welcomed to his adopted country, yet he makes a long whinge about "poor me" and plays the race card.
I'll be glad to see the back of the little creep.

He's not the only player in the team whos not up to test standard.
Weatherald springs to mind.

[mightyrooster]

He took a really good catch in the outfield a few hours later though.

I’m generally listening to music while watching the cricket and agree Warner is by far the worst on Foxtel. But for the most part they’re way better than 7. Skull, Gilchrist, Guha, Hussey, Waugh, Vaughan, Il’ll take any day over Brayshaw, Hayden and Langer.

You must be happy he got out so cheaply. I thought when Smith got out it was setting the scene for Uzman to be in at the end and hit the winning runs, wasn't to be though.

Yes i like Gilly and Hussey but don't have Foxtel. Warner just rubs me the wrong way.

That was a great catch. Might be up to Green to hit the winning runs now if he can stay in.
