9 just needs to turnover these commentators. I’m 21 and I can remember hearing the same commentators 10years ago. It’s so hard to remain interested. No matter how interesting they used to be, they need to be replaced, new voices and opinions.

I think there should be seperate commentators for the t20. It is not the same style, T20 is the new, young, popular cricket which has an afl type atmosphere about it. Cricket has a great opportunity here to grab the young people. Learn from the afl commentators, best of the country. Not all the games are interesting but the commentators get me excited with every goal. With cricket, no chance.

Bring in the current ex-players permanently i.e. warne, gilly etc. Even Brawshaw and Fleming. The current comentators are relating to older audiences. For the growth and good of the game please remove Greig, Chappel, Healy, Tayle and Lawry. I’m sure there are dinosaurs in charge who believe i am a minority and that’s why the game will continue to suffer

Listen to the younger audiences and maybe the game will grow

What a load of crap. Who writes this article and will not put their name to it? I loath Channel 9, but what they have done for cricket is irreproachable and if that means the comm team not taking it too seriously and having a laugh while commentating then cricket is the benefactor. It’s just a game and if you don’t like it don’t watch it

Yep, they’re crap. Even the Aussie fans lower the volume or listen to ABC in preference.

It seems I am not the only one to have despaired of the ‘quality’ of the Channel 9 coverage. The coverage on Sky by the ex-England captains is as good as that on TMS or Test Match Sofa, but at least they retain some impartiality and both Nasser and Atherton are excellent.

Yes it has been appalling for years and given the abysmal quality of the two supposed ‘competitive’series in Australia this summer, it is as if the nadir of commentary has finally brought the good game itself down its level

Simply Wonderful! I have been following Pakistan vs Australia test matches and I must say the commentators are really incompetent at commentary! Thanks for such a wonderful article, you made my day!!
