He drove down to simonds Stadium to call the match. Took 1 hour to get there.
Sounds like Bill is filling in for Michael Clarke today.
Bloody good fill in - great to hear him!
I seen Michael Clarke in the background of the com box? Haven’t heard him commentate but.
That was one of the most incredible run chases I have ever seen.

Lots of people on social media (including me) are praising Bill Lawry tonight. He was hilarious and probably had a few to many! Haven’t enjoyed the channel 9 commentary for a while!

18 balls left and I think it was 48 runs. Wow!! Cracking game, just annoying to be on the losing side of it. Nine/cricket Australia might be happy while at the same time annoyed cause it’s now a dead rubber in Adelaide and ticket sales aren’t that great to begin with… 
Thinking…15k if they are lucky.

I would assume they just didn’t update their graphics. Its not like the replay was planned.
Was it not live? I thought the game was live on 9.
They showed two overs from Friday night during the rain delay in the women’s.
I tuned out in the final over thinking Aus would win.
It wasnt just last night - he’s been great for all the games he’s be involved in this year.
His performance during the Boxing Day test was Lawry of old

Was the Geelong game a success?
The city is trying to get cricket games, as well as strong bids for both a BBL team & A-League team.
I hope we continue to see cricket played there, the crowd looked good & there was still an audience on TV (even though it was disappointing).
Simonds Stadium (AKA the great Kardinia Park) looked great under lights 
Thoughts?
Was great despite cold conditions. I wondered Why did Mark Nicholas wore another kind of vest to cover his shirt?
There you go.
