Gambit Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 I was watching the game on mute and turned up the volume for just a second and thought I heard Warne but thought 'Nah, can't be him' and put it on mute again. Will listen in today.
Mr. Wicket Posted July 17, 2009 Author Posted July 17, 2009 I was watching the game on mute and turned up the volume for just a second and thought I heard Warne but thought 'Nah' date=' can't be him' and put it on mute again. Will listen in today.[/quote'] Sigh. You have no idea what you missed. He also brings the best out of his fellow comms - guys like Athers in particular, who is a good commentator on his own but starts offering far more when Warne starts talking about bowlers who spray it all over but have the potential to bowl that lethal wicket taking delivery, and then asking Atherton about the differences in a batsman's approach to such a bowler compared to a more consistent line and length guy. Warne is God.
King Tendulkar Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 To be honest I thought he was pretty ordinary! He did not say anything that intresting and to me at times talked pants. Way over the top with the amazing commentator bit. He does not have the eloquence,smooth style and humour.
Lord Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 he is not clear with hs accent. he speaks too fast n ends up missing few words

Way over the top with the amazing commentator bit. He does not have the eloquence,smooth style and humour. Hmm interesting, I'm with him though, I think he's my favourite commentator. I also am liking Nasar.
Bradman99 Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 he is not clear with hs accent. he speaks too fast n ends up missing few words Lol funny you say that I find him so easy to understand! Must be us aussies
Lord Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Lol funny you say that I find him so easy to understand! Must be us aussies yup.Aussie accent.like aussies may find Indian commies too slow.

MUMBAISKIPPER Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 he's a good commentator but certainly not an amazing one.He can add masala into commentary when it gets boring. Calling him god is tooooooooooooooooooooo much.
Bradman99 Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 yup.Aussie accent.like aussies may find Indian commies too slow. It's what you're used to, I understand aussie accent so easy. But I think Indians (not all), but a lot speak very quick and find them hard to understand. Same with some English (scousers).
Bradman99 Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 What about QLDers' date=' Bradman? :P[/quote'] Same as most of us in terms of voice? lol do you find their voice different? they act different though, thats for sure!
Mr. Wicket Posted July 17, 2009 Author Posted July 17, 2009 Act different, think different - nah, they don't think at all... but yeah, I do find they tend to have a much stronger accent than anyone else (and this is despite living outside Syd, in Surry Hills for a brief length of time).
h4te Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 wtf? Why am i hearing "Pakistan Zindabad" in the background? :hmmmm2:
The Outsider Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 wtf? Why am i hearing "Pakistan Zindabad" in the background? :hmmmm2: Check outside through your window to make sure you've not been kidnapped to Waziristan.
h4te Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Check outside through your window to make sure you've not been kidnapped to Waziristan. edit: wrong thread. i thought this was the match thread :P there were P.Z. chants going on in the test match :dontknow:
yoda Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 He is pretty good. Talks a bit too much for my liking, not giving a chance to others, but gets tons of info across, pretty fast and with no BS.
Zelig Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 It was like listening to a "T20 commie" calling a Test match.He is full of life whatever he does(no pun intended). I have never heard a commie call a #11 batsman as "jack"..lol.
Anonymous Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Nasser and Shane are actually very good as a team commentating..Their interaction with Russell crowe was also really good..
