Fuck me these Australian commentators are awful.
It's like listening to a random bunch of drunk Aussie blokes watching the cricket.
Channel 7 here started with Beefy and Ponting. Now Hayden and Damien Fleming.
I assume you're getting Warne et al
Yep, we have Kerry O'Keefe already trying to relive his non-glory days of the 70's, and it hadn't even reached the first drinks session...
It's weird because O'Keeffe was great on radio. Is it Fox or the company in the box?
im not listening currently but normall skull is good value in comparison to the rest, so I agree with you

All of the above, plus he's not always as funny as he thinks. When it's the first hour of the Ashes in 2021, and you're on air claiming you could bowl out Glenn Turner with a soggy tomato, the shark has been well and truly jumped.

Burns sets an unwanted record:
A few opportunities to add to it this year too.

Kerry O'Keefe
53 wickets at 38.07, Glenn Turner never stood a chance!
They obviously couldn't find any tomatoes in this game, but should've look harder. KOK didn't even get a bowl and Turner made two hundreds.

My quick review says he got Turner 3 times. This was Kerry's test.

They played against each other quite a bit though (for those days - 6 tests I think) and Turner probably had the edge.
@NTA KOK started it!

when he's bowling at that pace, from that height, right on that length? yeah, i rub myself a little, what about it?
-
it's incredible that the free-to-air Australian coverage was just a huge wank-a-thon of old boys rubbing themselves off. While Fox had the quiet guys who talked about the cricket
And then it all changed over with the move to Seven
Ponting is brilliant.
