Commentators are speaking live to Gilchrist on the field while the
game is on.

What the hell was that ?

Last time, Gilchrist was wired when was batting as well. He hit two
sixers in two balls. On the mic, Slater asked for another six.
Gilchrist obliged.

Pushing the envelop a bit. Imagine if Gilchrist were out in his
attempt to hit the third six.

They team take it a lot more seriously now, after that Twenty20 world cup
loss, and they would be desperate to defeat the world champions as well as
get in a good frame of mind for the ODI series..

This real time communication between
commentators and players on the field should not be allowed
during play since the commentators can inadvertently relay
tactics, pitch conditions and other important information
that can be used by the team.

Once time gilly was wired to symonds, and they could talk to the
commentators and hear each other, symonds told him what kind of ball was
coming so gilly was able to get ready for it. Thats a bit much....

The team at Nine's Wide World of Sports? Given that the definition of
a "genius" is an IQ of 130 or more, I surmise that it was at least
three of them who worked together on the idea.

There was a charity match waaaaay back in the 60s (Old England vs Old
Aus or something) in which Benaud (bowling) was wired up and was asked
by the commentators to bowl Compton one down legside so we could
admire the Compton Sweep. Didn't last long as Richie looked like he

Imagine what would have happened if Symonds had been wearing it in the
second test. Three to one Singh would still have gotten off.

Not the first time it's been done, normally on testimonials and

called 20/20. Awful version of cricket. It's just not.

Windies thumped RSA in their 20/20 game. Unless one was playing an
entire ODO series of 20/20s (now there's a thought...2 games a
day...it's all over in 3 days) I'd not read much of anything into last
night's result.
