McGrath is a decent bloke, who lost his wife to cancer when their kids were very young and he's spent a fair chunk of his life since raising money for cancer research.

It’s clear to anyone with a basic grasp of the rules of the game it’s not out. McGrath: “ it’s a disgrace. I’ve seen a everything now” right-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he’s talking shite here I didn't hear the comment and to be honest when don't commentators talk absolute shite, with all sports - give me a BBC coverage of a 1950s FA Cup match when they just commentated and didn't give an opinion, I'm just finding a couple of people on this board at the moment default to calling people names when they don't like something. I should know better and to keep out of the cricket thread. Job done, thanks Gloomy. Edited July 1, 2023 by sammynb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34467 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I know McGrath's wife died and he raised a lot of money for charity, but he can still be a bellend and need calling out for it. And if you Aussies don't like it, you can stick it right up your didgeridoo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His circumstances (of which I was/am well aware) are of no relevance, he went on like a fucking big bairn, it was pathetic, as a comentator he's supposed to be objective, I mean maybe he should get a grip, it's only fucking cricket.

Alex 30414 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I like McGrath but he was wrong because he was (presumably) unaware of the specific law. You have to be in control of your movements as well as in control of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be at Ducket big time first thing today mind, Starc first up I reckon. Hope it's gloriously sunny and pitch is absolutely dead, still can't see a win though, even if England could get close, Aussies'll go to the packed legside field shortball tactics and any runs will become massively high risk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whingeing Ponce. It was weird like. The other TMS commentators seemed a bit embarrassed for him. That’s never been a catch in the history of cricket. I thought it was cheating by Starc to even appeal for it. Not to mention poor fielding. Best thing I’ve seen is an Aussie paper saying it was correctly not out but they should change the law so it should’ve been out It’s actually a very clear and simple law and should absolutely not be tinkered with, least of all to accommodate sloppy fielding. If he’d caught it, slid in his knees, stopped and then put the ball to ground as he got up, that would be out. This was all in the same, single motion though. I agree with Sammy that McGrath’s a good bloke but his emotions seemed to get the better of him there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the controversy this afternoon at work and TBH it's all a mountain out of a mole hill but that's what drive the media these days. Aas I said commentator shouldn't be giving opinions but that's what you get when you use ex-cricketers are commentators. They have biases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
