    It's a fine line. Silence is useful in cricket, but too much can be boring. There is so much downtime in the game.

    I like the odd anecdote. A dry focus on the game can be really tedious too.

    I think Kerry O'Keefe is really good at straddling this line, and he's the shining light of the Fox coverage. Knows when to have a laugh, but can bring it instantly back with an incisive comment about Pujara's record at Adelaide, or Kohli's front foot play.

    Whereas a guy like Warnie doesn't have that instinct. He'll drone on about pizza for hours if you let him.

    @barbarian I agree but that's between overs or an ongoing conversation as a bowler walks back not during the action. Plus it has to be passably interesting not a self indulgent wank fest or auditory fast food - quick, cheap and of no inherent value.

                            Pretty pathetic by Indua, as consequence they will probably not get to use a new ball under lights tonight.

                                  those 3 quick blokes are all accurate too. Even Starc was on point
