West Indies tour of Australia, November-December 2009

It didn't hit the boot. It hit nothing. Hautitz knew he didn't touch it so why appeal. Because he's a cheat.

Here we go, Ponting wastes another appeal. All gone already.

I thought that.

what then really hacks me off is later the commentator says "gayle asking him if he touched it, 'that's my business mate'."

just not the spirit at all, I mean ffs, what a crappy thing to appeal for in the first place, and worse if it's not even out.

That's why I love the Channel 9 commentary, no whingers or soft-hearts like there are in this forum

It's full of biased tossers like yourself. Of course you love it.

Nah, they're pretty bad. I'd put them right up their with having to listen to sub-continent commentator teams. Always bugs me that they don't get a commentator from the touring team tbh.

I was surprised that Cozier isn't in Australia, he always does commentary for WI matches.

This is why I hated Nathan Hauritz so much.

When the batsmen decided to block him, Hauritz was just wasting overs and the game wasn't going anywhere.

If he doesnt use his doosra this match, Australia have no chance of winning it.

And I rather have him dropped to bring in Steven Smith, at least he bowls much more attackingly.

The channel 9 team usually gets a commentator from the opposition team. It seems to be only just recently that they stopped doing that. But all commentators are bias towards their side. The NZ ones in particular Smith is just as bad as Healy, the SA ones weren't much better and neither are the English.

 

[pcfan123]

Yea but the Aussies are a special class apart, also the Kiwi commentators are more self loathing then anything else.

 

[aussie1st]

You didn't get to hear Smith whose the most bias of their lot.

If anyone's baised out of our lot it's got to be Richardson, but at least he appreciates good cricket from the other team as well as doing his homework on their players. Something the English and Australian commentators don't really do (Doesn't sound like it anyway).

 

[aussie1st]

The Aussie ones aren't too bad, they seem to know the WI youngsters. One was also talking about Bravo's brother saying hes one to watch out for.

Weird not seeing Watson being used yet, he did cause some problems in the 1st innings around this time.

 

[pcfan123]

Michael Slater is the worst, he just seems like a douche

 

[aussie1st]

Lol good thing Chanerpaul didn't listen to Greig, he would have looked like a douche challenging that.
Good bowling Bollinger.

Shiv gone , come on boys keep fighting.

Yeah, I love Richo. Btw, that's Chanderpaul hit right in the Zone of Terror. Good strategy here, the spinners used early and now Bollinger is nipping the ball into the left handers with a worn ball.

Can Johnson now extract some reverse? Important time for the bowlers.
