    I've been wondering if they'll do that as a gimmick (well, one of many 🙂 )

      The (only?) funny thing about the Alternative Commentary Collective and their vocal fans is that they usually turn each time they're on TVNZ into 'tee hee, boring old people hate us and complain about us heaps, okay Boomers!! LOLz'

      Hate is too strong. Listening to them is just Meh and constant repetition after the first five minutes or so...

      Or when they give someone a nickname and make sure they repeat it 50 times in case we missed it.

      Hauraki is great though so it’s a shame commentary doesn’t work for them as a medium

        Jason Hoyt is opening the commentary with the extremely unfunny pair of Ben Hurley and Dai Henwood.

        She could be a long night.

                    Be thankful he doesn’t do internationals anymore.

                      Must admit I watched little bits of it, but I would hardly watch it for the cricket, it's all just about having a laugh isn't it? You got Aussie cricket coach and rugby player playing for Cricket team, a few cricketers in rugby team. It's really about putting Richie McCaw, Kieran Read, Dagg and maybe Jordie Barrett out thgere in front of people and everyone else seemed to be just filling in the spaces?

                        I think Dagg ate his own lunch and Kieran Reads too. He was about twice as wide. Read is a terrific cricketer though. I really wonder how good he could have been if he’d stuck at it. Second good score in a row against some really good bowlers ( still amazed how well he did against Bond last year )

                        Kyle Mills needs to look in the mirror and reassess his hairstyle.

                        The Honey Badger is a pretty shit cricketer. Funny bloke though.

                        It’d be a shame if the kids in the audience remembered D Vettori for his golden duck, hopefully their folks fill them in on what an absolute champion he was.

                                What’s the weather doing in Tauranga ?

                                Seeing Brian Lara in full flow is obviously a massive draw card but as always I suspect I’ll watch and wonder how hard the cricketers are really trying and wishing there was an alternative to the alternative commentary collective.

                                  Cloudy. Wet weather last night, but supposed to clear this afternoon. Groundstaff have been very busy this week!

                                    Jonathan Thurston with a cringy Phil Gould inspired State of O wankfest…..

                                    But Brian Lara with a nice dig at his former team saying he knew it would be over in a couple of days and could pop over to NZ for a break from commentating to play the game haha.

                                      Lara looking pretty average and Astle had to call a fake no ball to keep him in the game.

                                        Apologies for the GOM, but this is boring and ridiculous bullshit.

                                        It feels so insular kiwi to me. It's cringe central.
