CWC Semi Final - Black Caps v India
-
The look on Ganguly's face when Smith is going ballistic after the Dhoni runout was priceless. He (Ganguly) was getting annoying at the end before the collapse. Manjrekar is the worst of the Indian comms with his bias. Bhogle is the most impartial.
All are better than Slater though.

Makes me wish we had a better balance between ex players and reporters. Being an international cricketer gives some insight into the mindset of the players but doesn't necessarily make good commentators.

Bhogle almost always sounds upbeat. At one stage last night he said something like - "It's the world Cup semi and the Kiwis are winning" - and sounded pleased about it.
I quite liked Ganguly's commentary overall - he was asked early on if he was nervous - and he admitted he was.

I didn't really mind any of them frankly. I thought it was perfect

A wicket here would add another 20 to the DL calc
...and as he types...
Fuck DLS. Dhoni is going to fuck up and that's India shot.

Coffee and and a Coca-cola in each hand for most of the morning, but utterly worth the last two nights.
Have a slight preference to play England in the final;
- It'd mean a new CWC winner either way
- It'll save me nightmares about the first over from Starc for the next couple of days

@mariner4life while he can fanboy with the best of them Smith is on the whole a pretty measured commentator. I reckon he calls things fairly and is definitely excited about good cricket, no matter who is playing it. Always liked how he genuinely praises good stuff by players from any country. Certainly doesn't shirk on calling out our shit either.
Ohhh if we do play Oz in the final what are the chances he commentates with Slats??
for cricket yes. Ever watched a rugby game when a Hawkes Bay player was playing? I thought he was coming in his pants when ever Dagg touched the ball.

Well, the guy’s from the Poo originally, it’s no surprise he latched onto us and became the uber fan.

What they won?
Too late to jump on the bandwagon?

Plenty of room, we can shift wagons off the back of the Warriors bandwagon.
Prime will be screening the final live, so I can watch while I listen to radio sport!

@Hooroo First one:
"Eating crow is a colloquial idiom, used in some English-speaking countries, that means humiliation by admitting having been proven wrong after taking a strong position. The crow is a carrion-eater that is presumably repulsive to eat in the same way that being proven wrong might be emotionally hard to swallow."
Mine is an Indian Myna bird - considered a pest in NZ.

@Hooroo click on the 'watch on FB bit...not sure why the embedding isnt working.
@taniwharugby Some funny shit in there and I must admit to some schadenfreude.
"Kohli should be dropped". Hahaha.
I also notice that @booboo is watching so Myna can be spelled with or without the "H". I don't want to be versing him on that, both @SynicBast and I am correct.
