Michael Vaughan

If I am being picky aren't the first two of those radio commentators so they aren't whilst watching? As it goes I think Geoffrey is quite funny without him meaning to be.

I agree on Vaughan though, he alongside Harmison recently are getting by on just trying to be controversial. The no ball checking is my biggest pet hate though along with the scrutinizing a possible edge etc on DRS when it's a clear call.

I agree on Vaughan though.

Me too. Seems to believe he was a genius as a captain.

1. Mark Nicholas
2. Most of the channel 9 team
3. They start the broadcast an hour before play and talk utter CRAP!
   
     Richie, Bumble and Kerry O'keefe were the best

God they're horrible, Brayshaw drools over cricketers with strong builds while using AFL terms to describe cricket, Slater is a moron who doesn't shut up, Chappell drones on and on and could make the most exciting bit of cricket put you to sleep, Tubby is rubbish in general, Ch 9's pseudo 3D crap where they rotate through cameras to show you different angles of a dismissal (it's really ace when they show a catch from behind...). If you're in Australia, grab a radio and put it on ABC Grandstand, mute the telly and you're good to go :)

The only problem I have is that the radio is about 5 seconds ahead of the tv but on
the upside you don't miss any action as it happens on tv
