Ugh, seeing Indians happy now has made me immediately regret backing them. I just need a shot of Kohli's wretched face geeing up the boys to really make me turn.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
19 runs off 6 overs at this point in the game :negative:

What I don't get is that I've never heard a commentator lay into him. No one calls him out as crap. They'll occasionally say he has to improve but I want truth bombs.

It's a pressure situation, Watson is literally the worst player in the team to have at the crease

From what I've heard of the Australian commentators, they never say a bad word about any of the Aussie players.

He can't place the ball at all. He's the anti Smith. Hopefully Smith replaces him at 3 in test cricket too..

Watson needs to start swinging his bat or get the gently caress out of the middle and never come back.

Yeah, but I meant every other commentator. Not even the non-Australian commentators will ever have a go.

It's not that they're best mates with the players, they are contractually obligated not to say anything bad about the Aus. players, and talk up the mateymateyness of everybody.

It'd be their last game on Channel 9 if they did, remember that the guy with overall responsibility for cricket broadcasting is very average former Shield player Bad Macnamara

That's the case for channel 9, this is an ICC broadcast.

Not that it matters since the rules are probably the same.
