Rumours of Bill Lawry's replacement are exaggerated...

Just as I was thinking that Bill Lawry might have been eased out of the Channel 9 cricket commentary team he bounced back today with a description of the new gee-whiz sightscreen at the Docklands Sauna/ Stadium (sometimes ka Telstra Dome). He gave a boffinesque explanation of its technical features which made me sit up and listen and, for a while, ponder whether it was really him, or a soundalike, speaking. Fortunately the voice quickly followed up with an "it's all happening" which allayed my fleeting doubts. No one says it like Bill does (or as often as he does).
