Wonder what the Tour Down Under figures would be in Adelaide – where it enjoys media saturation.

Part of the enjoyment of the Big Bash is its commentators – Ponting, Gilchrist, Fleming and “Junior” Waugh – who treat the game and the occasion with the lighteartedness that it deserves, unlike the supposedly profound experts on the Nine coverage of “serious” cricket where they just drone on and on like the boring know-alls that they are while the younger, supposedly hipper ones, Warne and Lee, offer nothing but inanities. It seems the only way you get moved on from the Nine commentary box is in a pine box.
