She asks average Joe questions and doesn't actually add to the broadcast in anyway for mine. Twice tonight in her two interviews she got shut down. She also asked Lumb about the next two games when they were half way through a chase that they would lose. No real feel for the game from what I saw tonight. She certainly needs to blush up on her interview technique.
Totally agree wristy. Much prefer the A league coverage with Tara Rushton.
Yep Tara Rushton at least has a passion for the sport she covers and can comfortably sit there and talk it with any of the other hosts without sounding stupid.
Tara is by far the best female sports presenter/host/anchor etc in Australia imho.
Also helps when she has played the game she covers

This was my original point pretty much. It's obvious she is not a cricketer much like Kelly Underwood calling footy but far less annoying and obviously a lot nicer to look at. She just always looks like she wants to ask that classic chick cricket question "Who's winning?"

Greg West, I had never heard of him either but I'll take that bowling performance

Hobart bowled out for 143, fantastic you can't argue with that so now up to the batsmen to do their part.
