Don't worry Potzy, it annoys us (maybe just me...) just as much! Absolutely no respect for what your boys have done in this match!

Haha, cheers.

Also Ian Chappell tearing McCullum apart for not having 4 slips to start with but Steve Smith after having 550 on the board starts with 3 and not a word is spoken.

Terrible zoom-ins and missing frames in run out replays when we live in a world where even an iPhone can shoot 240fps and 4k video..

Apparently no balls are only bowled on wicket-taking deliveries....

And when financial incentives are offered. Possibly.

Because when I'm settled down at home watching a game, a two word percussive chant going over and over is bloody annoying! Credit to the fans it's usually loud as hell, but it does my head in.

Multiple awards after each odi in the eng v pak series. Just ridiculous, it's like a kids presentation evening when everyone wins an award. Well done little Joey root you won the most colourful innings.....WTF!
