C9 & The Cricket

[JK]

where the hell are our ex-players (shield and Test) who can commentate.

Probably coaching seeings as clubs from all across the globe are desperate for their teams to be taught the Aussie way ..

[Rik E Boy]

Is it just me or do Tubby's eyes seem to be looking in even further directions every time I see hiim on TV?

I'm expecting them both to meet up again in about 2 cricket seasons.

LMAO!! There's people out there turning music into GOLD.

regards,

REB

Spot on Wedgie

I reckon Tubby could watch the australian open without moving his head!

lmao, no wonder he was such a good slip catcher, he could keep one eye on the bat and one eye on the ball! mwahaha!

[GWW]

I've heard that Kerry Packer offered Tony Greig a job for life as a thankyou for signing up to world series cricket in the 70's.

[dinglinga]

must agree ABC have great commentators.... kerry o'keefe is a laugh ... tim lane was great ( now with 10)

must say the c9 commonentors are that predictable in there comments.... how many times when ur watchin crickets with ur mates and u make a comment and then a minute later richie and co make the same comment

[Wedgie]

I hate Kerrie O'Keefe, I'd rather listen to KG and Cornsey commentating the cricket and that is saying something.

[godoubleblues]

The 12th man records/tapes/CDs are piss funny and I still listen to them often, but hell they created a monster in the Bill and Tony niggling act that prolonged their careers long a their used by dates.

mate, I am with you, these are F%^$#^&* funny, I cannot take anything these clowns say on the tele as serious anymore
"for f^&%s sake Tubby lose the gum"

and Wedgie, I love listening to Kerry OKeefe, bloody funny and a breath of fresh air on the radio, at least he can call on past experiences, and I have his book and CD, oh well each to their own

I'll never forget the time driving to my game at porties oval listening to Kerry and a wicket fell.
he said it was a "Rock Hudson ball"
Kerry's offsider at the time said "what do you mean" and the reply was " he thought it was straight but it wasn't"
Slight pause then masses of laughter from all at the ABC and in my car.

The other great Kerry O'Keefe clssic commentary happened the last time Sri Lanka was out here `playing one dayers it had to be scripted/planned, if it was off the cuff, it is the funniest bit of commentaty I've ever heard......

Fernando was bowling and the commentary went something like thus....

Maxwell, "Fernando comes in and oohh slips it down legside and the umpire calls a wide, Fernando walks back to his mark and as he passes, umpire Taufel, Taulfel has a word in his ear, what whould he be saying to Fernando, Kerry,"

O'Keefe, "I think he said, if I had to do the same my friend, I would my friend, Fernando"

The commentary box is quiet, for a second, and than breaks up in laughter...

and his story about Imran Khan, classic

[Punk Rooster]

A comment was made one day about "Joel Garner dropped his Y-fronts & an anaconda was sighted". I cracked up laughing, but there was some embarrassment from the other commentators, & they sin-binned him.

[Booney]

During the Perth Test,the South Africans went up for an appeal at Steve Bocknors end,Kerry pipes up with,

"must have been not out,even Morgan Freeman said so...."

Mark Taylor is the best of the new generation commentators.

OMG YHG2BFJ re Mark Osstrailya Taylor!!!! Great captain but a joke in the box!!!

I personally prefer switching on ABC radio and putting the TV on mute.

Easy tiger, Tubby is great to listen to, if you have the lastest edition of the Tubby-Taylor-To-Engilsh converter installed in you box.......

[drebin]

Rumours are strong that Eddie Mcguire will be the new C9 CEO. Eddie will be heading up the Cricket commentary - he is on everything else!

[stan]

Collingwood dont play cricket , but you'll being proabably hear alot about them......

[RustyCage]

Eddie is a great commentator, he would do cricket well, but I wouldn't want to see it. Chappelli is the best commentator, damn funny.

From the CricInfo Quotes page:
"My grandma has a crush on Richie Benaud"
A banner at the Gabba which prompted Mark Nicholas to ask "Is that necessarily a good thing?" of his fellow commentator. "Depends on the grandma," replied Benaud, quick as a flash

[am Bays]

Some pearls of cricket wisdom from Tony Greig......

"For those of you who don't understand what bowling in the block-hole means, it is when the ball is pitched right up into the block-hole." Oh-kay, good use of imagery there Tone........

And prior to jamming those **** keys into the pitch, "This wicket will provide plenty of up and down bounce" Obviously the day thaught taught tautologies in Afrikans young Mr Greig was out fishing..........

Hands up all those who think Tony is a member of Mensa?

[duncs7]

U cannot be serious?
