"Special"!!!

Cringing just at the very thought of it.

Even Special and the suspected rello of a tory once Oz 12th Man are light years ahead of the Nein tosh.

Always thought Vixens were weird.

And it's confirmed that seven indeed will partner Foxy. Imagine Bwuce, cricket and all those stats!

Article here welcomes the loss of the tired old voices of Nine, but I'm not sure what the obsession with having to have a female commentator is.

Also, serious question - will seven have access to the archival material or will we be seeing AFL or tennis during rain-breaks?

It'll keep the feminazi's happy as well as paying homage to the god of political correctness..

Yes seen as being PC these days to have a Female commentator, whether they add anything to the Commentary team or are just a token Female is another question.
As for the Archival footage, suspect Nien retain the rights to that, so be prepared for reruns of mkr etc to fill in any delays.

A $Bill, ay? No doubt Sutherland has a woody that he can't bend at the moment.

No more Ian Chappell.

Snoopy dance ...

Excellent point, Mr bucket. You've made my day.

dont dance too soon 

as Nein no longer needs a commentary team they are all unemployed and will be sending their CVs to 7 

7 is shit enough to hire them 



Sutherland and Worner were unconvincing on the anti syphoning and ODIs 



Worner is a grub ...SF GCS and Bangers should be reinstated if CA can deal with qunts like him

Chappelli will still be on the radio.

Will Worner personally vet the female commentator candidates?

Nine still have the rights for the next away ashes.

WHAT IS FOX CRICKET?

Don't give a rats tossbag about bbl or the jamodis. Don't care about 7 or Fox commentators. I am heatily sick of the dreary Neiners.

"you like home ODIs?" EAD!

new commentators = new 12th Man album. you never know...

So people have to pay for hit and giggle.
Fine by me. TFF, Slats, Tubs and the rest of them put out of jobs.......... noice.

I think you ought to have Dominic Cork, if only to keep up the gobshoite quotient.

Actually I was thinking that Seven could do a CGI Richie (similar to Star Wars Ep 7) and get Billy Birmingham to do the voice.

Fox should do that for alternate commentary

With Peever at the helm, there is no doubt, Nath.
