Only way to go for me. The downside is listening to Healy and Slater rather than just commentating, deciding to barrack when calling the play. Quiney just got dismissed hooking high, Healy said it was “unfortnate!”… WHY, he took the bait and got caught.. bad shot, end of story. Ritchie, far better, JUST calls the play, without incessant blatant biasedness.
Much prefer the ABC anyway Unk. That Mark Nicholas grates on my nerves a bit. Sparmy c*&t I reckon.
Mark Nicholas, is a “suit”,with a voice, rambles on talking shyte, without any substance at all… fits in well at channel 9 cricket
I don’t mind him.He knows his cricket pretty well.
He must have been a pretty fair cricketer in his time.I checked out his career on wickepedia and it seems he could play a bit.He captained the Pommie A side,and was considered to be one of the better players never to play for England.He also too over a hundred first class wickets.
Captained Hampshire for ten years,scored over 18,000 first class runs,took 72 first class wickets. Doesn’t seem like a bad player.
At least he talk about the game unlike a few of the "I ams"like Chappel,Taylor Slater etc.
Kerry O’Keefe drives me crazy with that laughter. Always head off when he comes on. Ok some might say he brings a bit of humour into it but I prefer the conservative calling of Test cricket
I prefer ABC radio, plus c9 is on about 10 sec delay. Looks like a draw in Brisbane.
I like Mark Nico - like his analysis and also love it when ‘the skull’ comes on. Like his humour and you just have to laugh at his laugh.
interesting to read that Watson isn’t good enough to play in this current side as a stand alone batsman…yeah it’s handy when fit he can be a bowler, but surely Watson would be a better opener than the likes of Warner…whose T20 technique will be found out by elite bowling attacks…and I can’t believe all this talk about Johnson being looked at for the Adelaide test…christ the likes of Starc, Hazelwood and Cutting would be spewing…fark me dead Johnson is old news…
Ahaha agreed TF..Mark Nicholas grates on me too with his pommyisms!
hey Freezin Mitch Johnson looked good at the WACA ground yesterday when i dropped in for a squiz, he was sharp, accurate and looked like getting poles..Mr Lillee has obviously been working with him
sadly SD, the Aussie version of the SA batsmen pale into comparison to the Saffie version of SA batsmen…I’d hate to think what the likes of DeVilliers, Amla,Kallis and Smith would do to Johnson…probably a bit more than what the likes of Hughes,Klinger, Ferguson et al did!!..but hey kudos to the fella for getting those SA tailenders and winning the game for WA.
Im with you on this one freeze Starc should get the nod before we go back to Johnson again. Yes he is starting to find a bit of rhythym & pace but his shield figures this season are hardly world shattering especially when you look at the batsmen he has dismissed. I would be looking at good young bowlers in Cutting & Bird as next cab off the rank after Starc as well before Mitch atm.
