Hey @Duenan@aussie.zone who's your favourite cricket commentator and who's the worst?

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oohh jeez. That’s a real tough one to be honest.

So many to choose from!

I quite like Andy Maher and Lisa Sthalekar along with Brad Hodge.

For some reason JL annoys me.

How about for you?

Exactly the same as you but I'll add Flemo in there as a favourite too. Ricky Ponting shits me up the wall. He's too analytic. For goodness sake it's a glorified backyard cricket game not a test. Calm down.

Sometimes I watch it through foxtel so Adam Gilchrist is good.

I also really like the youi ad where Flemo puts a batting pad on the dog. It makes me laugh every time.

I was going to add Flemo as well but I thought I might had too many favourites already.

They’d just good fun to listen to and a little bit more lighthearted.

I’ve probably heard Gilchrist’s voice but I don’t think I recognise it yet.

Hehe yeah the padding and bubble wrap ads are pretty funny.

I like Andy. He's very passionate about sport without being over the top. Him and Lisa are a good combo.

And they happen to be commentating tonight’s game!

Edit: well Andy is anyway with Alana King I think that is.
