I think he's taken a bit of pace and added accuracy, which was missing from his original game, and that's made him into a fearful weapon. Agreed, greatly underused.

 

[Olsen]

It just goes to show how badly Australia were missing both Symonds and Lee in the previous two ODIs. Glad they were back.

 

[otay]

Finalyl a win. And a great effort. England never stood a chance, despite the uber-biased Ian botham insisting that while peteirson was their they did. Great bowlin from lee n mcgrath, even if goughy did take a few off the last few overs, sum very nice and composed battin from symonds, and great fieldin all-round, especially hussey. We are back. Also Lee should be considered for the test side, thought this for a while too.

 

[Huratio]

finally a win for australia after 4 losses from minnow teams (that includes england).

can i just say, channel 9 craps all over channel 7 when it comes to the cricket. tony squires has absolutely no idea what the hell he's talking about.

True, the channel 7 commentators suck (except for Stuey McGill). Is it just me or does Kerry O'Keefe have the world's most annoying laugh? Sounds like he's got emphysema

 

[angelduck]

he realy does, coverage = crap (same with tennis on 9) - maybe these channels should stick with their usual sports

 

[redruM]

yes!

richie benaud's half eyed commentary > all

 

[Smokey_22]

What are you talking about, channel seven doesnt cover anything, nor are they commentating anything - they port to the English coverage. Tony Squires and Stewie arent commentating, just hosting the cross-over.
Ian Botham and Nasser Hussain are awesome commentators.... if youre into mega partisan stuff.

 

[HotShot]

no offense

but the pommy comentators are the worst in the world apart from tony greig.

 

[HotShot]

oh dont worrry i have a feeling 4-0 ozzy way.

 

[Smokey_22]

Sorry if you dont understand what 'partisan' means.

Anyway, next game tonight.

Aussies by 5 wickets
MOTM: Ponting

 

[mecurial]

And Tony Greig is from the veldt, not England.

Must disagree, I'm enjoying their commentary team. Gower, Lloyd and Holding are excellent. Lehmann and Nass I can't stand. Botham is great, if you as Smokey said, account for his distatse of anything remotely Australian.

Tony Greig is unbelievably shit though, that much is true. Him and Chappeli need to be replaced.

Kerry O'Keefe is hilarious though. Love the bloke. Too bad he's too scared to laugh like he used too.

 

[HotShot]

holding is not pommy! i just hate thier pommy accent.

 

[Constip8edSkunk]

haha kerry o keefe is a legend. he was hilarious on the fat and abc radio, havent had time to check out his segment on ch7 tho. someone once compared his laugh to a bronchitic hyena.

 

[HeCtic]

holding is not pommy! i just hate thier pommy accent.

Aye, but he's a part of their commentary team, which is what I thought you were reffering to.

But now I guess your issue is with hating Poms rather than judging how good their commentators are.

 

[HeCtic]

what as if tony's a legend
so r chappelli, and kerry okeefe's growing on me that laugh's hilarious


the only guy that needs to be replaced is that fuckin englishman who acts as if he's richie's superior, that guy's a dick

Tony's a carnt, Chappeli bores me, they're so stale now. That pommy guy Mark Nicholas is alright, he's got that "I'm a stiff pom" feel about him but he knows his shit and is generally a fair commentator. I reckon they should bring him back.

Kerry's a legend. Funniest cricket commentator going around.

 

[HeCtic]

And apparently Hayden told a schoolkid that "I wish you'd just fuck off" when he was taking the field

Smart move. The English press will love him for that.

 

[HotShot]

Aye, but he's a part of their commentary team, which is what I thought you were reffering to.

yep that will me hate poms!
