Did anyone think Channel 9's pestering of/chinwagging with Smith was inappropriate? It seemed to upset his concentration immediately before he lost his wicket. Are the bland, banal contributions from those wearing a mic in the field worth it?
I'm dead against it, especially at international level if we're thinking T20I's are fair dinkum. It's OK in the BBL because it's just entertainment really, but at the top level they should be letting the players focus on playing the game and not answering some inane question that a boofhead Ch. Nein commentator is asking them. I think it's pretty clear that CA still treats T20 as carnival cricket and the players seem to as well. I don't really have an issue with that, because it's just hit and giggle to me as well, but there will come a time when they'll have to make a decision and take it more seriously or not.
