put the test match on at 11 this morning  some woman came on and you have to guess what has happened for a couple of seconds in her so called "commentary"  -- someone needs to tell her you raise your voice and tell the audience  immediately someone is out. or if the ball goes for 4 tell us immediately not let us guess for a second FFS

thank goodnes she has got a red card and we now have a proper commentary

Proper commentary.?  Are you being serious.?

I find the women commentators on TMS a welcome addition.  You might not like this one’s tone, but that doesn’t mean she’s not up to the job..

  It is as safe as anywhere else if you bat 1 to 4 for England, they don't hang around long enough to get hurt.

i heard her later when England were fielding and when A Windie was out  she raised her voice (and i knew instantly what had happened) and i thought why didn't you raise your voice when an England wicket fell .. meaning why did you leave me hanging on in suspense for two seconds trying to work out what had happened ...

    the point that has evolved was that she was biased towards England when "me" thought commentators had to be kind of neutral ???

No it was your use of “now we have a proper commentary”when she finished her stint, implies you don’t think a woman can give a “proper” commentary.

I don’t know if anyone on here is involved with a cricket club but last week the guidelines said that only 30 people could be on a club ground, this has now changed due clubs having bars at their grounds or pitches being in public parks
