This is so much better than any sort of commentary related coverage to have come out of Australia in my lifetime

Pity we don't get to have Sky's coverage and instead have to put up with the campaigners at Channel 9.
Strangely I had not seen that on Sky yet but thanks for posting. It's a great promo and we're lucky to have such superb coverage here.
Channel 4 had some very funny promos with a look-a-like WG Grace back in the day, but I can't find them...

What coverage do Fox get?
Wouldn't they take the Sky feed?

For the first time in few years Nine are sending their own commentators over to commentate, so the above as about as much as you'll be hearing from the Sky Sports commentators this winter. I know, great isn't it.

Channel 9 have exclusive rights to the 2015 and 2019 Ashes I believe. Fox aren't showing any coverage.
Depends if you like the occasion Indian tv advert
I've seen that a couple of times on the Sky cricket broadcasts. It's a bloody lovely promo.
2009 a bit underrated I reckon. No cricket series I've seen has matched the heartwrenching brilliance of 2005 but I genuinely felt we were a chance on the final day at The Oval - the English certainly did too despite the huge chase we would have had to pull off. Strauss recounted how he felt it was all unraveling out on the field in his book as Ponting and Hussey regained the ascendency and began taking command, until Huss called for that optimistic run and of course it was inevitable that Flintoff would peg the stumps down ending all our hopes.

Farking hell. That sucks big time if it's true. I'll probably be throwing a few things at the tv screen when slater is speaking, he's an absolute tool.
2009 was an excellent series. Two far more frail teams than 2005, that always makes for compelling cricket.
Ponting obviously did a hell of a lot more good than bad - and I think some of the retrospective commentary about his captaincy is a bit harsh, but his and Hilditch's handling of Hauritz was utterly abysmal. I remember Strauss saying he nearly dropped the teamsheet in shock when he saw Hauritz wasn't in for the final test. Hauritz was no worldbeater, but nor was Lyon and we've seen how much more effective a spinner can be when he feels he has the backing of the captain.
