2nd Test PIX: Bracewell's fiery spell helps Kiwis win thriller

Re: Going for a win... by Abhijit Nair on Dec 12, 2011 08:58 PM sadly these commentators from channel 9 along with Bill Lawry (the most entertaining of all)will never be heard when India tour Aus as Espn always are bent on giving viewers horrible commentary from their own bunch plus really eye soring graphics. Even the neo sports graphics are much better    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Re: Going for a win... by Sarangarajan TS on Dec 12, 2011 09:34 PM totally agree with you.Atleast ESPN should provide choice for the viewers to switch to Channel Nine commentary team    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Going for a win... by Raj on Dec 12, 2011 09:09 PM I don't agree, channel 9 commentary is ridiculously biased and one sided compared to ESPN. Tony Greig used to be fair but now he just cant stop praising Aussie team even when they are losing.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Going for a win... by Abhijit Nair on Dec 12, 2011 09:19 PM the guys like Slater and Healy are biased heavily and a torture with their ball by ball comments plus slater loves his own voice so he talks non stop. but the veterans Benaud Lawry Greig and chappell call it like it is. Greig is South african by birth and do not expect him to back Kiwis!    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Going for a win... by anupam sharma on Dec 12, 2011 09:30 PM Are they more biased than Indians I doubt, Also the kind of insights they give I hardly hear our experts give, Healy can be a bit biased agreed, but check out how Tony Greig defended Harbhajan on India's previous tour, also Ravi,Sunil & Co are bland & not at all entertaining, As for Slats it is the differnt hues & colors that you enjoy,every member of the team being different, Richi-Sombre, Nicholas-Melliflous,Chappel-Forthright,Slater-Effervescent, Lawry-Fast- Talking,Greig-Passionate,Healy-can be a bit nonsense but you cant discount others because of him & sometimes too provides valuable insights into how a cricketer thinks.    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Re: Re: Going for a win... by Manu Zach on Dec 12, 2011 10:11 PM I firmly believe that even the worst of them - Ian Healy - is much much better than those loud-mouthed shnooks such as Gavaskar, Shastri, Bhogle, Ganguly, Sivaramakrishnan (goodness me...!!!), Arun Lal, Charu Sharma etc...    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Channel 9 Commentators by Abhijit Nair on Dec 12, 2011 07:19 PM Well anupam i fully agree with you fully on this one. I wrote to them to at least provide highlights from channel 9 feed and since they have 3 channels they can show it from 9 but no avail as they will send their own pathetic comm. you mentioned above Exception:No Harsha on Star cricket now.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Channel 9 Commentators by Abhijit Nair on Dec 12, 2011 07:21 PM true.It is poor that dravid laxman sehwag and sachin heroics can never be heard from that enthusiastic Lawry or best analyser of game Benaud. Yes Sunny is mostly whining and now you have saurav joining him in that    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Channel 9 Commentators by Abhijit Nair on Dec 12, 2011 08:07 PM you can watch the SCG teat 2007-08 on youtube the last 3 wickets in one over by Clarke with Lawry and Greig commenting and see the difference compared to Espn    Forward   |   Report abuse
