Decent little recovery by Smith and Marsh but lots of work to do tomorrow.

a real chump posted:it was something really trivial like he read a book so clarke hated him or something I think you might be confusing the Watson-Clarke feud with the Chris Rogers - David Warner feud. During the 2015 Ashes, The Australian published an article alleging that they "can't stand each other", and that Warner said of Rogers: David Warner posted:He's a bit of a weirdo. He reads a lot of books. I wouldn't read a book."

The worst thing about this is that if Smarsh gets us out of jail with a decent hundred, he'll be undroppable for another year and fail to score over 20

He's actually improved from how bad he was at first. His dismissal of things a woman commentator says now seems to rely on him actually disagreeing with them. I think ERB might have bullied him.

Boycott does it with anyone he doesn't deem worthy tbf, male or female. I think it was Mark Pougatch who they decided to put on TMS one year and Boycott just walked all over him.

I'm really missing Botham, Holding, Gower and Athers on the commentary but Gilchrist is a step in the right direction. Not enjoying Swannys commentary as much as I thought I would Edit: gently caress how could I forget about Bumble

webmeister posted:If anyone hasn't seen the Marsh drop yet, it's as funny as you think it is: https://vid.me/Vsup7 Kerry O'Keefe continues to be one of the only pundits with a clue. He talked about Steve Smith's batting yesterday. He pointed out that Steve Smith never really went backwards as a batsman. Mentioned that he made 77 on debut with the test team and two half centuries in his next 3 games. Said that Smith even at just 22 always had a great eye and even if he wasn't technically sound was able to stand up when the team needed him. He also pointed out that getting dropped and sent back to the NSW team where he could continue to refine his technique as unorthodox as it is helped him develop as a player. Funny thing is if you look through Steve Smith's wiki page it highlights just how bad the batting in Australia has been for so long. Nearly every major test series begins with "in the first/second innings with australia in trouble at 4/fuckall Smith built a partnership with some wasteman/good player scoring 150 runs to salvage the innings and win/gain an early lead".

Also aside from commentator issues, and continuously pushing the football, and all the rest, the worst thing by far about BT's coverage is that they don't have the over number in the on screen graphic

The people who've come through the more relaxed and informal T20 commentary seem more comfortable in bypassing the respectful deferral to experience.

Swann's realised very quickly that TV cricket commentary is a long conversation vaguely concerned with what's on screen, and that his role on the radio is to analyse what's going on so people at home listening can get a better idea of what's happening and he's slowly getting comfortable doing the former. Ponting and Vaughn own, jury's out on Fleming though

BlindSite posted:
Out of all the Australian test cricketers to average 50 or over smith has to be the one in the worst sides The guy is unusually patient for an Australian cricketer. He does have a brain snap in him normally against spin and he is a relatively poor starter but once he gets set he is happy to grind away for hours if he needs to and thats not a quality we see a lot in Australian cricket even when we are good. On commentator chat i was listening to Ponting discuss khawajas technical flaws against spin and he is one of the better Australian commentators at that sort of thing. I wish he was on nine tbh. Clarke is also great but he has the accent

I've been able to stream the Ashes a bit, but what service should I use if I want to watch BBL or some of the other Test matches in the US? I can sub to Willow through my TV provider but that looks to be it.

I can sub to Willow through my TV provider but that looks to be it. Check ESPN 3. They usually have a bunch of random stuff. Illegal streams otherwise. Not sure what willow has mostly IPL and tests for India i think. They have the Ashes rights in the US but i have no idea what feed they carry. As an American that watches a fair amount of cricket illegal streams and ESPN 3 are they vaguely economical ways to go.
