Hayden and Langer are very very very very very bad, given my mute button a workout the last couple of days.

Ponting is good
Everyone else is okay although I find Mark Howard extremely cringe

Worst of all time was Slater

Ponting is very cricket-smart but he's juuuust starting to become a bit full of himself.

Howie is as annoying as Hayden and Langer are boring.

Hayden :Hangman: . Can't believe anyone could annoy me so much that they are more annoying than Brayshaw.

Ponting, Blewie, Alison MItchell and Tim Lane are all very good. Blewett is underrated IMO, bit of a shame he wasn't on the old Ch 9 team, I think he would have complemented that team well.

Based on their waffle in the commentary box, just how annoying would Langer and Hayden been as team mates in the change room?!
