    Fuck me these Australian commentators are awful.

    It's like listening to a random bunch of drunk Aussie blokes watching the cricket.

    Channel 7 here started with Beefy and Ponting. Now Hayden and Damien Fleming.

    I assume you're getting Warne et al

    Yep, we have Kerry O'Keefe already trying to relive his non-glory days of the 70's, and it hadn't even reached the first drinks session...

    It's weird because O'Keeffe was great on radio. Is it Fox or the company in the box?

    im not listening currently but normall skull is good value in comparison to the rest, so I agree with you

    @tim I thought that was quite funny (and true) ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Mark Howard is appalling. Hussey is boring. Warne and Mark Waugh are terrible.

    Brendan Julian and Border are the best Fox have ever had

    All of the above, plus he's not always as funny as he thinks. When it's the first hour of the Ashes in 2021, and you're on air claiming you could bowl out Glenn Turner with a soggy tomato, the shark has been well and truly jumped.

    Cue wanky Wisden articles claiming he was โ€œunderdoneโ€ before the test series or other cringy bullshit.

    Back when I started playing at the Gabba, tin was what you used for making things.

    Thought it was more like bark in your day, Kerry.

    HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

    Big laughs all round in the Fox commentary box today.

    Pitiful.

    53 wickets at 38.07, Glenn Turner never stood a chance!

    They obviously couldn't find any tomatoes in this game, but should've look harder. KOK didn't even get a bowl and Turner made two hundreds.

    Skull might be a bit too old school to realise there are ways for people to check how accurate his yarns are bless him.

    Meanwhile at the ASHES the two young blokes have dug in. Pope and Hameed starting to get into the groove.

    Lyon with a couple of overs. Green on now.

    Someone should remind O'Keefe, just in case he doesn't read the Fern...

    My quick review says he got Turner 3 times. This was Kerry's test.

    They played against each other quite a bit though (for those days - 6 tests I think) and Turner probably had the edge.

    @NTA KOK started it! ๐Ÿ™‚

    it's incredible that the free-to-air Australian coverage was just a huge wank-a-thon of old boys rubbing themselves off. While Fox had the quiet guys who talked about the cricket

    And then it all changed over with the move to Seven

    Ponting is brilliant.
