CWC Semi Final - Black Caps v India
-
Gee I was happy that Ganguly was in the commentary box for the first Indian batting overs. I don't like the guy and he had nothing to say when we were pummelling them except for begrudgingly saying that NZ were playing well.
Mark Nicholas was trying to generate conversation but even he was struggling to get words out of him.
Then they put another indian in the comms box with that lady and it was just awkward

Just watched the highlights on Sky UK.
Much as I like Ian Smith, he was embarrassing to listen to in this match

So ..
I had this weird dream that the Black Caps won last night. -

Yes, looking forward to his latest tweet.
Is he a bit pro India? Will have to look.

Ganguly was one of the biggest pricks while playing, hope he choked on this one.

So go England?
Surely better off playing a side that hasn't been there, done that before? Would be bloody nice to beat Aus in the final though...
Fair point but do you want to be playing the home side who happen to be the top ranked team also...?
I don't care who we play.
I don't care if we roll over like Melbourne.
Massive bonus to make the final.
We have nothing to lose let's play like it.

Went to bed after 20 overs knowing at least there would be a result.
Well done Blackcaps and @Baron-Silas-Greenback for being bang on the money.

With just the bonus points deducted from Baron’s crystal ball for Matt Henry being awarded Man of the Match

He's not the soothsayer he wants to be but he's the soothsayer we need!

He was, but he needed to balance out the pro India crap from the rest of the box.
Look, I know we are shit, flaky and have our limitations. But when you are 11-3 and hit a boundary, commentating “Normal Service resumes” is straight out disrespectful.

Was Nicholas talking about how good Australia are?

What they won?
Too late to jump on the bandwagon?

For the Ganguly fans.
Fried bum face.
(I’m a bit drunk but I have zero criticism of Smithys commentary there.
His chin, yes.

I didn't hear the TV comms as I was switching between TMS and the ACC but watching the highlights what was so bad about Smithy's commentary?
He has always had a touch of the Bill Lawry's about him and gets pretty excited when it goes to the wire but by no means did he sound like someone had shot his dog when Dhoni and Jadeja were clubbing those sixes.
The last decade has been well deserved for guys like Smithy and Waddle who had to follow this rabble around the world for twenty years.
