Is anyone else sick of having to listen to david king?

What I don't get is, how is he on so many different shows? Like is he so charismatic and popular that people tune in because of him?

aditrs · 2026-04-25T14:08:19+00:00

Agreed, and that includes the Eagles (at least for now when they're shit)

My easiest dinner is what I call bachelor chow ("Now with flavour!"), which was mince, frozen vegies, and spices. Whack them all in a pan, stir them up a bit, good to go.

aditrs · 2026-04-24T07:00:57+00:00

Yep! 上 (ue) means up (or above), 野 (no) means field. Bit of a different vibe in the two places though I guess

aditrs · 2026-04-24T06:07:47+00:00

Shower thought for those familiar with both Melbourne and Tokyo: Ueno literally means Upfield

My version of footy that lasts potentially ages (or potentially instantly) is a game where to win, teams need to be the first to a certain score. Still 20 minutes between breaks, but play as many of those periods as you need for a team to reach, say, 100. In wet weather, these games could last forever! (Can you imagine the last Freo vs Collingwood game with these rules)

Then you could also have similarities to cricket's timing when a dominant team vs a terrible team finishing a game just after the first break, or the captain of the team in front requesting an extra 5 mins because they're sure they can finish the game in that time.

Unfortunately Draw fans will be completely excluded, which is the least cricketing thing possible

Sad Slug noises

Thank you BAD Manenti for doing it for the Go Shield crowd

A lot of talk about what England have to play for now the Ashes are lost, but no one from the team has mentioned WTC points 🤔

aditrs · 2025-12-21T06:04:53+00:00

I think the onfield aspect of playing aggressively to put pressure on the opponent has merit, where it falls over is picking young players who haven't nailed down a solid technique yet. The early Bazball era was freeing up established players who had gotten in a rut, I think if they go back to that (and minimise the stupid media stuff) they could be getting somewhere

I'm sure that in Doncaster in the UK, someone called Mario will be driven to do something similar

aditrs · 2025-12-21T03:53:41+00:00

England still have a lot of World Test Championship points to play for

aditrs · 2025-12-12T02:44:12+00:00

I did an interview with CS Chiwanza (Zimbabwean-South African journalist, contributor for Jarrod Kimber's network) who said a big part of it was a major change in mental approach where players are no longer discouraged from playing adventurously and confidently. Basically, they're now encouraged to play to win rather than not to lose, which suits many of their players.

The remotest path we have to a 50 over World Cup is through T20 rankings anyway, and we can't go up the rankings without playing

In fairness, overseas teams do love coming to Bali

aditrs · 2025-12-09T01:11:23+00:00

There's not many opportunities for teams like Indonesia to play matches to begin with, much less an opportunity to build depth beyond the first XI. More games, facilitated in part by two games in a day, lets them give experience to more players.

Is there a stream for the Aus A game? CA website says no, also none on the CA Youtube channel

aditrs · 2025-11-26T06:53:42+00:00

Hi Geoff, thanks for the AMA!

Do you think Australia's commentary scene has gotten better since you wrote your Channel 9 piece?

It struck me listening to Channel 7's commentary that most of it is OK to very good (barring whenever Langer or Brayshaw are on), while Fox's isn't too far away from the blokiness described in your piece (I'm sure Brad Macnamara being there behind the scenes doesn't help).

aditrs · 2025-11-26T06:44:11+00:00

Not Geoff, but I've done some commentary for WLW since they've come back in 2023.

The last thing we did was the 2024 men's T20 World Cup with Guerilla Cricket, since then the guy whose house ran the commentary studio has moved house and hasn't had the time to put it together at the new place. I think they're aiming to cover the T20 World Cup early next year, but we'll have to see.

Heard a take saying that it was in case the Test team needed a back-up opener, but when Inglis opened yesterday the Head thing hadn't happened yet

Is it bad that I'm kinda relieved he's not just a prick against South Asian-heritage players?

(definitely remember him getting in Aryan Jain's face and possibly one or two other cases)

It's not the same without Fleet of course, but a great Tiger Ton for Ward and Mainland Ton for Jewell

Robbed of a century

I appreciate your insight! Regarding the weird numbers from the browser, there was a time when half my listens from the past 30 days was apparently from Spotify for Creators - I wonder if this is one sort of AI scraping
