We've had them calling cricket for a few weeks now, so how do you rate them?
Lawry
Warne
Clarke
Taylor
Healy
Slater
Chappell
Nicholas
Bill......10/10 absolute legend, ageless
Shane....8/10 (be careful not to drink too much of his own bathwater)
Micheal C...8/10 surprise of the Summer
Mark T.....7/10 Going ok
Ian H.....5/10 Use by date almost up
Michael S....7/10 Going ok
Ian C....3/10 Use by date definitely up!!
Mark N.....5/10 Too much sick leave!
I'd almost 100% agree, perhaps after the recent Lyon / O'Keefe rubbish I'd have Slater a bit lower and Taylor a bit higher.
Slater ... 6/10
Taylor ... 8/10
They come up short when compared to the guys on 10
Brayshaw 3/10..... And Merv's put down was the slap down of the summer; "and what was your test batting average James?".
Healy comes out with some interesting material so I'd bump him up a bit. Slater doesn't add much and I'm not sure why Nicholas is in the team.
I'd rate them as:
Lawry 9/10
Warne 7/10
Clarke 8/10
Taylor 6/10
Healy 6/10
Slater 3/10
Chappell 1/10
Nicholas 3/10
Taylor the best 8/10
Chappelli 7/10....I liked Chappell as a captain and reckon his knowledge of the game is still good and says what he thinks
Michael Clarke 6/10...Fresh face, knows the modern game and players.
Warnie..6/10.entertaining but has his biases, leg spinners can do no wrong, its the field, its the captain, its the pitch but never the leg spinner..Shah is bowling pies
but Warnie wont call him out as ordinary.
Healy...dont mind him but lacks something...
Slater 5/10...nope, tells you the obvious but not much depth to his call..
Mark Nicholas 4/10...too worried about his hair and tie...
Bill Lawry....9/10 and still entertaining and prepared to call it like it is...
Shah is bowling pies
Baggers will be desperate to face the bowling ;)
The oldies are the go for me.
Chapelli and Bill L.
Mark Taylor's OK.
Warne is the best leg spinner ever without a doubt, but is up there with Anthony Mundine and Leyton Hewitt as the biggest boofheads ever in Australian sport. ;) ;) ;)
Aah well, then there's
Jimmy Turd of course.
Warnie certainly is head of the Leggie's guild... Shah can't land two balls on the same spot and has no obvious plan, don't see how that's good bowling Shane. Bowling the odd jaffa doesn't make you a good bowler.
Sadly for me, the game has gone passed the Phantom, he makes it up on the run just to fill in his time on air. At the G last week he calls playing conditions as cool with the wind coming out of the South East, when in fact it was blowing out of the North and it was 36C...wtf...he's approaching senility for mine and speaks drivel. Having said all that, he is the very best of a bad bunch????
Baggers will be desperate to face the bowling ;)
:)) :)) You bet!
Lawry 9/10
Warne 8/10
Clarke 8/10
Taylor 7/10
Chappelli 7/10
Nicholas 6/10
Slater 5/10
Healy 3/10
