Yeah, but pick the best set of commentators who currently commentate. Don't question it Dem, go with the flow.

So are we picking the best commentators or the best former players who currently commentate?

Not sure if Barry Richards still commentates. IF so, he'd be in for Lawry.

Stick Boycott in, just to annoy Botham ... unless Chappelli's already got the token Botham-riling position.

Maybe a second XI (can't think of who to fill in the gaps - all the Indian commentators on T20 sound the same to me):

Slater
Boycott
3
Hussein
5
Grieg
Shastri
Ian Smith +
G Lawson
D Fleming
11

Aggers at XI? Crowe or Athers at 3? Thorpe or Richardson at 5? Jimmy Adams to keep?

Tuffers is commentating for TMS for this NZ series. He's another candidate for 11.

And Bumble could play as a batsman.

Whodathunk that the guy on the right would be just getting ready to start shooting his 5th Season of an absolutely top-class award winning American medical drama series. Hugh Laurie is an absolute legend as Dr Gregory House. I never miss a show. The man is talent personified.

What's so good about House? I've never seen it but it sounds dull as.

Everyone raves about it though. What's going on?

It's nothing special . . . you'd be better off sticking to the Disney Chanel with AD . . .

I've seen a few episodes, and Laurie is very good. The cases are interesting and the interaction between the main characters is quite fun . . . it does get a bit sameish after a while, but . . .
