I don't mind him, prefer him to David Lloyd.

I was sort of assuming any pro Morrison posts were ironic?

And use of effervescence, a euphemism.

When the ball is new it is very very difficult to see the shine because it is almost similar color on both sides. However, when the fielding team works on it, one side becomes more darker as it is not worked upon.So due to the pronounced color difference it becomes bit easy to identify which side the shine is.That is when the bowlers try to hide the shine.Some international players have said they could see the shine even against pace bowlers,whereas others could not.

Majority of cricketers though play on the instinct once the ball is delivered and acts after pitching.

Quite like Jim Maxwell and Iain o'Brien though I could listen to Vic Marks read the classifieds.

Appreciate his brilliance, you'd rather be listening to Bhogle bore your ears off about what he had for dinner and that is some talent.


Would rather have Danny Morrison in the Sky Sports commentary team than Bob Willis/Nasser Hussain/Ian Botham/Ian Ward/Charles Colville/Michael Holding

Not Andrew Strauss. He's boring and has an irritating voice. A minimum wage appointment, surely?

Strauss has replaced Nick Knight, which has got to be a good thing.

I agree but I do prefer Jim Maxwell when the Aussies are not on top as when they are a little gloat creeps into his voice. Maybe that's a defence against the nonsense from Boycott.
