um, they are playing India, who you are supporting shouldn't even really be questioned.
Hazlewood the fucking gun gets the first wicket of the Aussie test summer.
That made my choice easier too
2 most hatiest sides meeting normally makes it a hard choice
Easier when 1 side is missing 2 of the most unlikeable players from the 150 years of test cricket.David Warner i get, but that's pretty harsh on Ellen deGeneres
I find it hard to truly hate Warner cos he's just so damn entertaining to watch.
He's no Brad Haddin ( first of many haty mentions for the summer )

What's wrong with Warnie as a commentator?

That just makes me hate him more!
To be honest, I've found Smith to be one of the more likable Australian captains - possibly because he's followed on from Michael Clarke - who I can't stand!

Besides being a giant fucking douchecopter who basically bags everyone but himself out while talking about which pizza he's going to stuff down the fake-white maw stuck in his oompah-loompah tanned face under the "Yeah yeah!" hair?
Nothing.
Great player. Average human.

I rate Hazlewood ahead of McGrath. Very similar bowlers.
This Aussie attack is fucking lethal. Their batsmen may be sub-par, but their 4 frontline bowlers are so fucking good.
Fuck of Kohli you cuuunt!!!

Actually now you mention it he did have a feud with my second favourite Waugh so loses marks for that.
As you were.

Another one goes - another shit shot playing wide outside off stump.
Yeah - Oz batting and bowling are chalk and cheese. I think Little Kane has more test hundreds than the entire Australian batting line-up.
-
Far out why the hell are they chasing wide deliveries from Hazlewood on the first morning of a test. Atrocious batting. Huge chance for India to knock Aussie off at home and their batsmen are just throwing it away, which is hilarious to watch.
-
for such a vaunted batting line up, their career averages are a little NZ-esque
37, 39, 50, 55, 41, 40
That's not exactly a "holy shit" top 6.
-
@mariner4life that's because, despite playing at home on flat dustbowls a lot, eventually the BCCI has to allow them out to decent wickets.
Like Australia, really.
THis is a good catch

to be fair, Australia is a good place to play as a batsman.
Once you get used to the pace and bounce.

That Seven commentary team looks unlistenable, the b-list commentators available from the late 90-00's and some pretty cynical picks for diversity. Oh and Bruce 2000 during the intermission - outstanding.
Most good cricket commentators have been good skippers who thought the game well or absolute battlers who were lucky to get a handful of caps. Seems to hold true for that group although Gillespie may be an exception.
Can you list the comms team? I have no idea and can only listen in silence at work
Ricky Ponting, Damien Fleming, Michael Slater, Glenn McGrath, Alison Mitchell, Mel McLaughlin, James Brayshaw, Lisa Sthalekar, Tim Lane, Abbey Gelmi, Greg Blewett, Simon Katich, Jason Gillespie, Brad Hodge, Dirk Nannes
Where's Mark Nichols?
Geez....seeing that written one could be mistaken for thinking I was upset he's not there....
Him Channel 9. This on Channel 7.
