Anyone else rating Boof Lehman's commentry on ABC radio. first year in a commentry team after finishing up as a coach at the heat, he will probably get poached by 7 or MMM by my reckoning

Laconic and insightful in equal measures. He's been unreal.
His knowledge of the game might work well elsewhere but his relaxed delivery is perfect for ABC.
Boof is pretty chilled, and clearly knows his stuff. A great addition to the commentary team. The only downside is he is the spit of a neighbour of mine, physically and vocally, and my neighbour is a right pr… ah I mean “legend” - see below for a definition.

Haha thanks for the arvo laugh Blackers
We're back. Pink Test.
Good first session at 3 fa not many.NewBhoi to a catch and a couple overs.Next new Bhoi got a catch too.Kansas can field as well as ramp.
Highlights package of Rishabh Pant getting bruises is on at the moment. He is going to be sore tomorrow, perhaps he has taken Gavaskars' advice to "leave" too literally. Good session and a half for Australia.
Good morning session from the Indians, lots happening. Smith 5 runs short of 10000. Konstas ramps Bumrah again but edges off Siraj. Webster plays a straight bat.
Another good day of cricket. India well on top in morning session but Aussies have stemmed the bleed.
New fella just got a 50.
And Bumrah has left the ground for scans.
"Bumrah has left the ground for scans." Could be the game changer. Webster gas looked good
Commentators put the curse onto Captain Pat.
“He’s looking in great touch”
Next ball, nicks off to slips.
Aussies 7-fer and still 23 behind. I reckon they’ll want at least a 70 run 1st innings lead.
As for Bumrah - I reckon the psychological relief that the Aussies would feel is immense. But the other bowlers seem to be making inroads without him.
And, 8-fer
Don’t want to be taking a 1st innings deficit…
I was about to say they will make the 185 easily but now not so sure. I put the hex in Webster, soz all.
We’ve banned one of our mates from commenting on a group chat. Things are going well then he’ll post something like “Smith’s gonna get a ton here” then within the over whoever he’s commented on will be gone.
Every.
Fucking.
Time.
Point taken. I'll get me coat.
You’ve not got the consistency of dismissals yet @blackers
.
Boom
We love Boland
Carn Aussies!!!!
Stuart Clark's ABC commentary was immensely enjoyable during that Pant innings. Magnanimous and genuinely excited.
Clark is great, funny and insightful. Pant went nuts, tv commentary was subdued.
Great day of cricket. Pant almost took it away but the Aussies got him just in time I think. Still got a few wickets and they won’t want that tail to wag. 220 could be a tough chase. 250 almost too much.
+1 vote for the ABC coverage.
Far out anyones game from here. Can't see the Aussies coming out and dominating the batting going by the pitch, but i reckon they'd be slight favourites now Rishabs out. Geez he was good.
Loving the new fella Beau Webster. No frills no fuss, just gets the job done.
I reckon his height is helping negate that extra bounce at the SCG.
Could be the key to a win.
Hope Konstas smacks the winning shots though just to stick it to the Indians.
Shame this test will probably be all over tomorrow.
Draw is out of the equation. Tense day tomorrow for the trophy.
Konstas needs to pull his head in and let his bat do the talking. I hope he does- it’s gunna be a tough run chase.
ps. I suppose a tie is still on the cards.
Agree, Konstas needs to let his bat do the talking. It’s all got a bit ugly on that front. A tie would be amusing but unsatisfying.
Yep. Nothing says f you like a hungy off a hungy (or less) to set up the win.
