Dear WNBL,
It would be a great idea to have commentators that actually love and know the game. I'm not talking about the special comments people.
Things they say;
"A dagger" How can you have a dagger in the 2nd qrt?
"She's going from strength to strength" How does a player go from strength to strength in a game?
"Wowee" that one belongs to only one person.
The mark of a truly good commentator is they help you feel the excitement and atmosphere as if you were there. Also if the screen went black, you could still see the game through their words like old school radio. The monotone voice and lack of understanding of how to accentuate momentum changes and exciting plays in the game is so bad it makes it unwatchable.
It's ruining a great product. It deserves better.

I haven't seen their season stats but Lightnings shooting % must be down IMO

Juice, you can add to that when Dean was called for a double dribble and the commentators thought she was called for a travel. Clearly were not looking at the ref's signal. When you are sitting in a studio 650km away it is going to be hard to call the action but if we can see it on the screen then they should be able to.

Can't help but think calling from a central commentary studio and not being in venue helps cause some of the pain.
Streaming in SD does not help either. We need HD ASAP.

Dean is a great PG and hope to see her back. Bourne outstanding and hopefully a future regular Opal.
