And it is not as though they know the rules of cricket.
The follow on for a 4 day match is 150 runs NOT 200 runs which it is in TEST CRICKET
Not only that,Guyana only has 2 fast bowlers in the team since Paul was replaced by Motie,yet these DUNCES are talking about follow on.
P.S He just said the fielding side can AKSE for a half-hour extension.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

We did a survey here a few years back and were shocked to see how few folks knew the basic laws of the game - many didn't know field placings or even the names of prominent cricketers

I distinctly remember the first test WI vs India at Sabina Park in 1971.The first day was washed out and the WI ended their first innings 170 runs behind India on first Innings and Wader told Sobers he was enforcing the follow-on and the entire WI camp did not realize the becase the first day was washed out ,it was a 4 day game and the follow-on was 150 runs

They need some serious training - this is embarrassing - ignorance and mediocrity on display for the entire world - - they need to use Zoom and Facetime to let some of the experts assist them.

Years ago a prominent coach told me he learned more about the essence of the game of cricket from a presentation by one of my brethren on the UWI campus than he had learned in his entire playing career. My brethren played high school cricket and college cricket but he was a maths brain.

Matthew Kissoon is an umpire
Made me think of a conversation I had with the recently deceased Cecil Kippins.
He said that prior to the First Class Domestic Competiton,Clyde Walcott used to have a meeting with all the Umpires who would be officiating in the games in Guyana to go over all the rules and regulations governing play in the competition.
I am 1000% certain that nobody does that anymore.

It would be great if any one of you…..doesn’t matter who….just one…..or more if possible…..take a turn in the commentary booth and see how you do.
Matter of fact…..this could be a CWI initiative to encourage fan engagement. Let’s see how Y’ALL do……big talkers.

When you go to a restaurant and critique the food it doesn’t mean you want to become the chef.
We’re an audience and they’re lucky to be able to access some feedback.
2023-03-23 20:29:24
In reply to Raskil
Cop out. Very few of these guys are professionals commentators that do this exclusively for a living.
And there’s a big difference between critiquing ( suggesting that they update scores more frequently) and bashing
What’s happening here is far more of the latter. It not easy to talk for 8 hours straight

They’re very good when they stick to the core being cricket .

they do commentary for people to listen and to promote the game...
they have been doing this for a long time
what is wrong with asking for the commentary to be better?
the next time i hear you gripe about anything here i will remind you to do better first and let's see if it will make sense

Look the commentary has improved but there is no excuse for not knowing the rules re the four day follow on and how can you not know the results of the ODIs that finished this week.
If you were not sure, don't respond or look it up. How hard is that? Data is everywhere man.
