Exactly, very good at being ingenious. Has it ever been done before?
We did awful there, but I really don't mind, although I support the Australian cricket team the channel 9 commentators are stuck up, biased, nostalgic pricks (not all of them). About 20-30% of their conversation is about the good old days, even when there's a wicket or a 4 (or 6). Very annoying, usually just put on the radio and watch the cricket on mute. Recently found out quite a lot of my friends who watch cricket do the same thing. ABC radio cricket is much more fair and they focus on both teams, not just Australia.
I was very impressed with how they managed to find a way of getting bowled out before lunch at Trent Bridge last summer..

Ian Healy is a biased pain in the ass and Ian "big bats" Chappell thinks he's the best player in the world (mind you he was very good but not the best)
Mark Taylor is the most bearable, believe it or not. Michael Slater has that gravelly voice that makes him sound like a drug user and Shane Warne just talks about food half the time.
I think Michael Hussey will be a good commentator in the future, and Tom Moody (whenever he commentates) isn't too bad. Maybe the future is brighter...

Hopefully, I have a lot of respect for Michael Hussey as a player and commentator. But the best are easily Adam Gilchrist and Ricky Ponting for the Big Bash, they are obviously loving the game and you can see it by their enthusiasm. Of course they are more entertaining (rather than a sport) as the game is shorter and more explosive than test matches.
