The Aussie cricket fans loved the ABC radio commentary, especially since commercial radio had never carried it.

When TV started to carry it, it was amusing and very nearly the same to watch it on ABC TV - cause the ABC TV commentators understood that TV _HAD_ a picture that we were all watching (and they didn't have that verbal diaherra that makes them fill up all the silences!), but when Commercial TV took over (cause Aunty could no longer afford the rights) the astute fans used turn off the TV sound and listen to the ABC radio!

Now that we have Replays - I am never sure just how many balls there are in an over now - it used to be 6; now on average it seems to be 19.37 balls per over....
