    Everybody on Channel 9 because they are all hopeless.

    Belinda Clarke on the ABC 'cause she has a PHD in stating the bleeding obvious.

    Completely agree, no arguments... they aren't commentators, don't get it right more often than the umpires, and they are old enough to be doing something else.

    I reckon she'll end up being ok, just first match nerves. She's the commentator's Sideshow Bob really, hasn't found form yet.

    Give here a couple of overs with Skull, that'll sort her out.

    Tony Greig - how can anyone who played test cricket and led a national team know so little about the game and although channel 9 is a commercial station, how about keeping the commercials to the breaks set aside for them. His bias goes beyond embarrassing.

    Richie Derro ... er ... Benaud is almost as bad and should be sacked.

    The rest of them do okay ... I think, but I listen to the ABC more than anything else so perhaps I'm missing something.

    The lot.
    Cricket is such a boring game it does not need commentary to make it even more boring.

    For God's sake lose T Greig. Not only is he a rank idiot, but he favours SA or England first and then anyone who's playing us. How can someone who hates Oz like he does, derive his living here? Anyway, I think he's gone. Now Big Kezza has kicked the ice bucket, Tony aint got no protector. Kezza was an honourable man and felt her owed Greeeeg big time for getting the Pom players over to the origiinal Cricket Circuses - when Greeeeg went broke, for about the 3rd time, Kezza rescued him by giving him the awful Memorabilia business on 9 - anyone for a framed photo of Merve with his tongue in Kim Hughes ear, limited signed edition only 3,221,567,983 available. Hurry!

    The cloud outside of this silver lining is that we may get another 9 stooge. Ray (Frontline) Martin, God forbid or that prune off Millionaire?

    I always have the 9 sound off and the ABC commentary on. You gotta luv Skull and the various O/S guests they have. The current guy, a black SA, speaks 8 languages - one of which involves Bushman type clicks and plosives. He sings too! Only ABC product that you don't ave to listen to PC wankers whinging about everything from the unfair election of Little Johnny to the poor whales and trees.

    What a tirade, I'm done now.

    Happy New Year all.
