Holding is one of my favourite commentators around the world... When he talks, he talks sense.... Not like the rocket scientist, turned biological engineer, turned forensic detective Mpomi Mbangwa.... I cringe emphatically at the mere sound of his voice..... (which never seems to stop).....

Mbangwa and Haysman feel that they will be forgotten if they are silent. Holding says little but what is says is relevant and insightful and leaves you with much to think about until he next speaks...

Smith already drew the umpire's attention immediately when Rabada brushed against him so likely it was in their report to match referee at end of day's play...

Motor mouth Haysman has always got to have the first and last word. If he is on commentary he never lets his co commentators to call a batsman’s hundred. He constantly jumps in.He talks for the sake of it and I am convinced that he records the days play then goes back to the hotel and listens to himself to get himself to sleep. Holding, Border and Wessels are the best with Pollock not far behind. Mark Nicholas is doing a good job as well. I more than often mute the sound when Haysman is on as he really spoils it for me

I often listen to the commentary on radio when in the car and the commentating there is far better in that I can visualise what is happening based on what the commentators are saying - I guess Haysman and Mbangwa think they are radio commentators so tend to talk about everything and anything even though the viewer can see what is going on :unsure: :(

They had Jim Maxwell from ABC Grandstand pairing up with the SABC regulars and I enjoyed it - they also have Andrew Sampson as statistician who provides great odd bits of info :)

Scotland have started well 2/1 in running is tempting

need only 199 to win - if they do Windies are probably out of the World Cup

Scotland chased 210 vs. Zim to tie the match - must have a solid chance

Feel for Scotland. What an absolute howler with no DRS. Might not have made the target if the wicket hadn’t fallen anyway.
