job done..lets go to sydney and give em another good hiding..3-1 would be a fair reflection on the series

No go to Sydney and bore the life out of the Aussies David Gower style! Plus a draw earns me £90 for my 2-1 prediction!

when was Gower boring?

decent player who should have scored loads more test centuries if he hadn't had the expected rush of blood in the 60s & 70s - as a commentator he IS boring,in fact,most of the SKY team is boring including 'I better be on my best behaviour' Botham,'spot the personality' Hussain,'know it all,but crap england coach' Bumble - thank god for Warney and the greatest fast bowling action in history that was 'Whispering Death' himself



come on SKY liven it up a bit !

Actually thats true he is boring, in fact for all the good camera work and so on I find cricket on Sky very boring to watch, when I used to be able to sit through a full days play on the BBC when Richie Benaud did it. Nowadays I just listen to TMS where the chat is better, Geoff Boycott is always worth listening to. Also Michael Vaughan and Justin Langer have been good in this series.



Remember when Channel 4 had the cricket for a bit and they had Dermot Reeve going in to the commentary box coked up and slagging off Simon Hughes.

After about half an hour of the Melbourne Test, Boycs was banging on saying England wouldn't or couldn't win the game. The man has gone beyond parody.



The worst commentator by far, however, is Botham. Utterly unilluminating about the play, and also thinks he's funny despite the fact he isn't.

having being weaned on TMS with Jonners,Blowers,The Alderman,The Bearded Wonder,Alan McGilvray,John Arlott,The Boil,CMJ,Aggers,Freddie Trueman et al where probably only 50% of the listening public were actually cricket fans says it all - it was entertaining with cricket sometimes taking second place to cream cakes and butterflies on the pitch or long tailed tits nesting in the pavillion etc etc - Has there EVER been any sports commentary funnier than 'Botham not quite being able to get his leg over ' ??? I was in the car at the time and had to stop ! SKY is boring,thank God England are doing well if not,the viewing figures would be almost zero IMO

botham knows more about cricket than all of us put together..bumble is great entertainment and he to has a great insight into the game..warne is a legend of the modern day game and the banter between them is great to listen to...i agree with the likes of atherton and hussain they`d send a glass eye to sleep.

true about Botham & Bumble but it doesn't actually mean they are entertaining does it ?



it's dour stuff and needs an injection of something or other

you may think its dour stuff i dont...so who would you have out there just so they can entertain you.or was the stuff out on the pitch not entertaining enough
