When watching cricket on television, the commentary team is crucial. One of the greatest commentary teams of modern times is generally acknowledged to have consisted of Richie Benaud, Tony Greig, Ian Chappell, and Bill Lawry. From Benaud's understated command of the game's history and personalities, to Lawry's excitable tone and banter with Greig, these four men anchored decades of cricket coverage and may have done more than anyone else to dispel the myth of its tedium.

I would take Agnew, Blofeld and co. any day over the Ch.9 commentary. Cake anyone?

If you go to the game it's more about the drinking and general atmosphere. Not many sporting events can match Boxing Day at the G.
