    "I could bowl out Glenn Turner with a soggy tomato."

    What a cock.

    @tim I thought that was quite funny (and true) 😉

    Mark Howard is appalling. Hussey is boring. Warne and Mark Waugh are terrible.

    Brendan Julian and Border are the best Fox have ever had

      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?

      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.

        Cue wanky Wisden articles claiming he was “underdone” before the test series or other cringy bullshit.

          Back when I started playing at the Gabba, tin was what you used for making things.

          Thought it was more like bark in your day, Kerry.

          HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

          Big laughs all round in the Fox commentary box today.

          Pitiful.

                  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.

                          Meanwhile at the ASHES the two young blokes have dug in. Pope and Hameed starting to get into the groove.

                          Lyon with a couple of overs. Green on now.

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

                              https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/australia-tour-of-new-zealand-1976-77-61400/new-zealand-vs-australia-1st-test-63182/full-scorecard

                              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! 🙂

                                  Hazelwood brilliant. On target and Root had no where to go.

                                  the best test bowler in the world. admit i am right -handed while flogging over the bloke, but don't mind changing to reverse left-handed milkmaid in a pinch.

                                  Fixed

                                      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.
