(note: this should also be part of the political platform)
I want to be able to turn on my tv and watch cricket as if i was at the ground: ie, i want to hear the sound of the bat hitting the ball, the screamed appeals, and the roar of the crowd.
I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR THE FUCKING COMMENTATORS
as it is, the only way i can avoid hearing commentators is to turn the sound down completely, thus also removing the natural sounds of the game mentioned above. ie, watching in complete silence.
so i want an option of commentary/no commentary.
i also wouldn't mind a little sign showing me which commentators are actually on duty. i don't mind richie and tony grieg, and would possibly switch over to commentary to listen to them.
but the rest of the cunts make me sick.
as do most of the radio cunts.

Its good to know that Ricky Ponting is an umpire now. Cheating blasted AAmerican president.

I have always wanted to play cricket purely for the 'tea'.
Cucumber sandwiches = <3

I feel the same about baseball.
I think they only have the commentary to drown out the cursing hecklers in the crowd.

I demand the right to not watch cricket and do something interesting eg watch paint dry, get brutal surgery without anesthetic, get torn in half by wild horses
Cricket is pish

i hear you. I don't watch cricket, but it doesn't matter the sport. I'm sure I would like cricket if I tried it. Commentators suck for everything. Even golf.

That is actually a pretty good idea.
I bet this will be an option soon.

If an idiot like Bush made president, you could probably make pope.

You, sir, are a visionary. I will gladly join your cause if you try to set up the same arrangement for hockey.
I think Ron McLean and Don Cherry are good, but Bob Cole and Harry Neal are annoying as hell.

I just want to watch a game any game without that scrolling crap at the bottom. It's like popup ads on tv and it pisses me off.

in fact, this post's title should read "I want to HEAR the game of cricket on tv...."

What I don't like are the commentators that ramble on about games that happened years ago, or, even worse, talk about games THEY played years ago, while pretty much totally ignoring what is actually happening in the game, so if you are listening on the radio you have no idea what is actually happening.

We get Joe Garagiola as a color commentator about every ten games or so. I always enjoy when he goes on about the games/players of the past.

if you can get me the same deal for baseball, i'll actively lobby on this issue.
i fucking hate joe buck and joe morgan both and think they are easily a bigger potential threat to the sport than any 'mitchell report' or 'steroid abuse'
