I also really liked his commentary. Very charismatic. I enjoyed his commentary when he wasn’t commentating on Australia. I thought he was unbearable when on Aus games. I loved the masterclass type things he did with sky, particularly when they got kids to send in videos of them bowling leg spin. As I saw someone on Twitter say, no one has ever known more about something than Shane Warne knew about bowling leg spin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 "Gatting has absolutely no idea what has happened to it" [emoji16]He bowled an even better one to Robin Smith a few overs later. He also got Strauss out with an utterly ridiculous ball (probably my favourite of the lot) possibly during that epic 2005 series. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scored 249 runs at 27.66 as well, which at number 8 was very decent. He was incredible in that series (the series that got 13 year old me hooked on cricket). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Sir Curtly Ambrose on comms, my all time favourite. Changed days from his "Curtly talk to no man" vibe when playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 This England batting line up is shambolic. Can almost excuse Lees as he's new but the bowling isn't that outstanding they can blame it on that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 48 - 4 now. Surely the worst to top order in test cricket. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtie78 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 That wicket for Pak vs Aus was an absolute disgrace. Hopefully gets hammered by the ICC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Genuinely think at this rate England would be better off pressing the "Simulate Innings" button, and seeing what score they end up with rather than actually batting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 England finish the day on 268-6, with Bairstow unbeaten on 109. An excellent fight back. Agree with the comment about the pitch in Pakistan. Dead pitches are the biggest threat to the future of test match cricket. 14 wickets in 5 full days of play is disgraceful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
