theworldiscalling: lol. nice effort by the channel nine commentators to celebrate the 40th anniversary of one day cricket. my childhood hero michael slater looking very suave. i’m so glad i didn’t live in the 70’s, not that the 80’s wasnt much better for fashion. although i am tempted to try and get mark nicholas’ light blue suit for my brothers wedding. Forty years of one day internationals and all I can think to comment on is Mark Nicolas’ wig (or is that his real hair?), surely there’s a law against hair like that? View high resolution

Cricket fails the cool test even with disco umpires and crick-babes

Barney Rooney on Mark Nicholas:

The programme was presented by Mark Nicholas looking more than ever like a posh country person who has some kind of semi‑official feudal role – officiating at gymkhanas or creeping about behind the 14th Earl of Egham saying things like “indubitably”.

But let’s not forget that advert:

the expression you might expect to see on Nick Knight’s face as you turn on the light to find him standing at the foot of your bed in a baby doll nightie carnally conjoined with a Dyson vacuum cleaner

Mark Nicholas’ double life

Yet however rapid his rise up the broadcasting ladder, he has a long way to go to beat the biggest climber of them all, Mark Nicholas… a posh, three initialled Englishman, ended up with the most prestigious job of them all: anchorman on Australia’s Channel Nine - making every English winter an Australian summer.

On the other hand during the English summer Mark Nicholas presented an ITV ‘Lifestyle’ programme called Britain’s Best Dish. Do you think he does his Channel Nine stints for free?
