Cricket on channel 9 is NOT LIVE

Hey, I just decided to check out the new cricket coverage on 3AW with Tim Lane and others like Flemo whom I love to listen to onl all things cricket. When I did this and turned down volume on tv I found the coverage on channel 9 must be about ten seconds behind the live play because I'm hearing what has happened with a ball on radio before I see the actual delivery on tv.

hmmmm.... cheats...lol
you are not live channel 9

Digital tv and analogue radio always will have a big delay.

Bit of a bonus having my rookie priced keeper Whiteman come in at 4 or 5 but unfortunately he only made 4.

Low scoring game it looks like with Perth making a low score. Shouldn't be too many for Finch to chase.

Yep he looks enticing, last week performed with the bat an this week with the ball. Wait until he goes bang and has an all round good game, could be huge. I think if you get him he will be worth it, had a killer BBL 1 being the best allrounder and missed last year due to injury. As long as he stays on the park I think you'll be right.

Renegades 0-2, not the start they would have wanted and not what lost would have expected after last year.

Looks like I'll have to choose a skipper now that Finch failed. Who would seem the safest out of White, Hales, Cutting, Hopes, Hodge, Henriques, Bird? I'm guessing any non batsmen to avoid the -40 would be safest?

Hales I reckon. Thunder don't have the best bowling lineup. Maddinson shredded them last week.

Man of the Back to back Ashes series

Well if Haddin not the best player from the two Ashes series we've seen in England and now Australia then I'd be surprised.
Very important factor in both series and now holding our batting innings together for another Test. Great effort by him after a period of his career he may have looked like playing no more Tests. Be hard to see Wade getting a chance any time soon.

I think Paine may overtake Wade get the Test spot to be keeper when Haddin decides to call it quits.

I went to the cricket today, day 2 of the Boxing Day test. Such awesome atmosphere even though the batting from both sides was horrible. The Aussie army possibly taking things a bit far with Stuart Broad. Huge chants of "Stuart Broad is a w**ker going for 1min+ about 10 times. I'm very glad i didn't get tickets to the 3rd day coz it's gonna be 38 degrees, stuff that LoL.

Yeah mate totally agree. I've been to the first two days and also going tomorrow, great atmosphere and the Barmu Army we actually up and about during the last half hour of today. Some good banter between them and them and a group of Aussie supporters. Hopefully we see a little bit better cricket tomorrow, and Lyon hang around so Hadds can get a ton. Haha ;)

Cheers mate, gonna go the very conservative route and go with Cutting. Can't get a -20 and with a good economy rate he can at least get me 20 + whatever wickets.

Yeah I don't know who to go as skipper, got White and Wright who are decent options, and also Cutting or even the Big Show. Undecided atm to be honest.
