Dysgenesis posted:I blame Mark Nicholas for introducing the term "square cover" into the lexicon of bad cricket commentary. You can be square in the covers or at cover point, but there is no such fielding position as square cover. Or reverse square mid wicket, as they are calling it these days...

Doctor Cave posted:Adam Voges is on 100* at stumps of the Shield final. I don't know if anyone has noticed because of the World Cup (I haven't seen anything this thread), but Voges has completely dominated the Shield this year. He currently has 1315 runs at an average of 109.58 with 6 centuries. It's a pity that he is 35, if someone ten years younger had these numbers everyone would be creaming their pants over him, but I've barely heard a peep. He was named in the test squad a few times but at the time the batting was pretty strong and he couldn't get a look in.

The rookie commentators they get in on the ABC are almost always really good. The older ones are good too, I can't think of a single Grandstand commentator that really pisses me off the way the Ch9 ones do.

Scylo posted:Robelinda uploaded a Richie Benaud video Just watched the whole thing. The pauses where he just lets the ambient noise through really stick out, you never get that these days except sometimes on the radio. Even Grandstand is guilty of it a bit but at least they have some insightful stuff being discussed instead of the blokey poo poo Ch9 proffers.

Burn Down Canberra posted:Yep the pressure kills fast bowlers when he is hitting it like that. Realistically the bowler needs to probably keep following him with the ball but he's so quick at adjusting. Yorkers are just going to end up as a full toss hit for six. What happens if you bowl at the top of off stump? Doctor Cave posted:No balls that went to the boundary? Those would be byes or runs to the batsman in that case.

Drugs posted:A no-ball that misses everything and goes for 4 is 5 no balls. There can't be two types of extras in the same ball We always put them down as byes because technically the wicketkeeper should have stopped it, I didn't know they were all supposed to be no balls.

Dead Goon posted:SCJ Broad could have turned up to that corporate event the other day completely hosed out of his skull, vomited and then poo poo himself and he would still not be dropped. You don't have to be part of the tory boys club for that kind of privilege though: quote:Gower has been involved in a number of alcohol-related off-field incidents. In 1999, Gower exposed himself to a female Irish tourist in a Coogee bar, blaming his behaviour on alcohol intoxication. He was dumped from the Kangaroos squad and fined A$2,500 by the NRL and a further A$500 in court after pleading guilty to indecent exposure.[16]

Said he'd probably do some more in the morning so if any of you kiwis want to ask him some hard hitting questions like what he eats for breakfast now is your chance. He seems like a decent bloke. Ask him why NZ are poo poo at winning world cups.

That really is a remarkable turnaround for a guy who couldn't hold his place in the team as a bowler who could bat a little a few years ago. I'd love to know what he did. Hopefully CA is taking notes.
