BBL Match 34 Hobart Hurricanes v Melbourne Renegades 14/1 1900hrs @ Bellerive Oval

[Aussie pie]

He was an excellent domestic bowler. It's hard to believe he ever played the game listening to him commentate. Like you might not like say Mark Waugh but he does have some insightful stuff about fielding and batting technique etc. I might as well commentate instead of BJ.

Did you see BJ bowl internationally? He commentates like he bowls, doesn’t seem to have a clue and occasionally gets one right.

Same as when Dixon got caught on the boundary, the crowd cheering as the ball was in the air

Didn't notice that one. Pretty poor really. How can there be a feed ahead of the vision and BJ still call it so poorly?

Wait why is Doran playing?

Wait why is Doran playing?

Because he is the last fit batsman

Mark Waugh is the worst commentator in the history of the game. BJ is much, much better, even though he's fallen off a cliff recently

Was about to say that is a very weak Canes lineup. Doran, Wakim, Jewell.

 

[smasha]

Terrific knock from Bethell.

Jewell at least on his day can whack them in white ball cricket. I don't even think Doran gets a game for Tassie in One Day cricket.

 

[Hamingja]

Is the man bun groovy fella, the spin bowler with the Hurricanes, still getting around?

Clive Rose. He was the DJ down there one year. Not sure what he does these days. He hung around and played club cricket in Hobart after losing his contract but I guess he would have gone back to Victoria now.

Nah can't agree with you here. Waugh at least has some sort of clue about the BBL, Julian just offers zero. I'd go as far as to say Waugh is one of Fox's better commentators.

hahaha, so true!!!

No Jordan or McDermott

Waugh is BT levels of terrible, and I don't say that lightly.

 

[caboose]

No lbw or bowled in that innings. Everyone was caught or run out. And yet a total of only five players from the fielding team were involved in all of the wickets.

 

[010203]

Maybe this team should refuse to have any power surges?

We genuinely are hopeless.

Why didn't Bethel being the in form batsman retain the strike? This team is anti winning.

I say that if a team can win without using the surge, they should get a bonus point. I would say that because I don't like the surge.

You’re kidding yourself. Waugh is Grand Canyon width better than Julian.

One of BJ's former teammates once said it's lucky he has good looks because he's as dumb as a bag of hammers lol.

Waugh is so bad that I'd make a better commentator. Hell, I'd take BT over him. Let that sink in.

 

[cats_09]

We open with a spinner for the first time this season and pretty sure we won't be doing so against next match

This really hasn't worked

As I said … you’re kidding yourself.

Hey, hammers can do two things can’t say that about BJ

 

[Cmarsh]

Mitch Owen could be a candidate for an Australian white ball call up at some stage.

 

[SC_Power]

Speaking of bad commentary, the Cricinfo AI commentary is painful…..
Should apply for a job with Ch 7.

I'm not. He's shocking.

 

[nobbyiscool]

It always surprises me when someone like JFM agrees to take the microphone. I think it's the last thing I'd be keen on doing when you're batting like he currently is. Just keep your head down and avoid drawing any attention to yourself.
