They only showed a few wickets then went to boring panel show stuff. Never heard of Kerry O’Keefe (nor the presenter and his cohorts).
Mr O'Keefe was a fairly pedestrian leg spin bowler, and one of the most annoying "experts" ever to sit in a commentary box. Modern cricket has become so money grubbing-ly boring that I think it deserves him.
Have to agree; I was at that match- every day of it if I recall correctly. No interest in the panel debrief though.Quote:

And I have to respond. I never said he wasn't knowledgable, I said he was annoying. I particularly didn't like his way of sniggereing at his own, unfunny, jokes. I wasn't a fan of Maxwell either, but he didn't annoy me like Kerry did. I would turn it off when he was on. I liked Peter Roebuck until he, err, fell from grace.Quote:
