"He used to bowl quickly" -Tino on Chigs.

Lots of complaints on Twitter from BD fans about biased commentary. I know there's no BD voice in there and sometimes incessant Zim point of views irks the other side. I'd think Dirk is the culprit here.

Another zinger from Tino, on Meth batting: "They'll send him out in a wheelchair if they have to"

Excellent anticipation about knowing Nasir was lining up a big shot, and he did go for it. A future captaincy material?

MIssed most of the commentary for this series as I've usually been stuck in work or out elsewhere. But I'm in front of the computer for today and loving the coverage. Shame Supersport couldn't spare us a few more cameras, though.

Yeah, it's nice to hear such a Zim-focussed commentary. And over the course of a Test match means a lot of interesting topics come up.

Tino has been a real revelation, he's been fantastic.

I reckon Neil Manthorp and Dean du Plessis sound like they are really good friends outside of the commentary box too.

Rainsford getting in on the act now. "'Baby Elephant' Tino Mawoyo and Rhino (actual nickname) Jeremy Fredricks". And Jeremy calls him "Gentle Giraffe"

Tino was asked by Neil if his bats had names and he said no but Hamiltons' had names and one of them is called Hattori Hanzo! I put ham in a new class of cool! Now if he would just use tha hanzo the way it should be!

There were comments earlier that he should loosen up a bit, and I think that's excactly what he did during this series: sounded very relaxed, with a good sense of humour, excitable when it mattered, and he knows what he is talking about.


I enjoyed Nkalas commentary as well.

Always loved Pommie. I think he was the first Zimbabwean commentator I ever heard on the radio (BBC's Test Match Special on creaky long wave).
