Great spell from Boland. Just felt like a matter of time. Well done son. Reckon the DRS appeal threw Kholi a bit too.
Yep. Kholi unsettled by drs miss.
Beautiful bowling by Boland.
Perfect bowler in UK.

I'll nominate Langer for most annoying commentator in history. So bad. Fake excitement, labours the point, goes on tangents, repeats himself endlessly, horrible to listen to. I can see why Cummo sacked him. Too intense? Too annoying.
Hows this gem from JL? 'What a start from Boland to being back in England for the first time'.
Way too intense. Tries to talk up the game at any opportunity. And he seems to be on commentating all the time too, never get a break from him

Would like to get Nesser in for the first Ashes test too, out Starc, in Nesser even if Hazelwood is fit.
Cummins and Boland opening the bowling with Nesser and Green 1st and 2nd change will get the job done, along with Lyon.
JL uses a lot of words to actually say nothing. Compare him to Ponting. Punter is so much better at this caper.
Someone needs to tap him on the shoulder. His talents lie elsewhere. Its not just about knowledge of the game, which he would obviously have, its about charm, humour, insight, and also voicing, tone, phrasing, timing, none of which he has. His attempts at humour are painful. I feel his fellow commentators pain.
I just noticed that the Match Referee is none other than Sir Richie Richardson!
One of my all time fav players. Very understated but his batting was so flamboyant. The best player of pace bowling I have ever seen.
Certainly did not seem to have the ego of some of the other great West Indians of the time.

When I was a kid, sad to say, you were a wimp if you batted with a helmet.
Richie's choice of hat when batting simply reinforced this belief!
I even tried batting in my wide brimmed hat for a while. Didn't work for me, but as a batsman I was a great square leg umpire.
