We get the joint BBC/SABC/ABC/Radio Sport broadcasts here in the UK and I have been very impressed with Natalie Germanos on the opening game. Wadds is a legend from NZ as well.

He is a very dry workman..love his sense of humourIan Chappell doesn't sound so much like a dour campaigner on radio.
I've only just noticed that Jonathan Agnew and Isha Guha are on ABC Grandstand, obviously via the BBC. The digital signal seems to be pretty much in sync with (well, just ahead of) the pictures on Ch 92Liked grandstand, two english lads very understated.
Cheaper for ABC and probably better quality for us.Hmm, I'm very surprised there's no analog radio coverage. Macquarie Radio did most of the World Cup, but not The Ashes? WTF?
There's only the BBC coverage on ABC Grandstand. The Aussies I've heard so far are Jim Maxwell and Glenn McGrath
True, but poor me was cycling during most of the first session without me phone or my portable digital radioCheaper for ABC and probably better quality for us.
Win-win.

Spewin! ABC Grandstand (digital) has the footy on again, which I reckon is stupid, because they're broadcasting the same game on ABC analog (774 in Melbourne).
More first world problems for me. Ha.
Can I? Thanks.Couldn't you still stream it through your phone via the CA app?
Can I? Thanks.
I'm not the most tech-savvy dude around.
One thing I like about ABC Grandstand on my digital radio is that it's a couple off seconds ahead of the tv; is that the same for the app?
It was back on after the tea break, obviously when the footy was over
Generally in an Ashes series over there they combine TMS and ABC grandstand. It's not the first time they've done it. They may have done it in Australia in occasion.Hmm, I'm very surprised there's no analog radio coverage. Macquarie Radio did most of the World Cup, but not The Ashes? WTF?

Hell, they could have just looked up Cricinfo when they were commentatingGood bump.
Was kinda frustrating listening to Alison Mitchell and Jason Gillespie on ABC having no idea what Mohammad Rizwan's first class batting average was, nor where he bats for his province. Would have thought that's fairly basic information to be across if you were commentating a test match.
My understanding was that he was offered a voluntary redundancy, and jumped at the chance of a payday knowing that he could easily replace the income stream.ABC got gutted financially, if you knew how little the guest commentators were paid for a full 5 test & one day summer commitment, Skull "retired" from the ABC for a few reasons but it was more economic for him to do one guest speaking gig a week and he'd still be in front instead of doing a test match.
Incorrect - the offer was paltry - cost cutting at your ABCMy understanding was that he was offered a voluntary redundancy, and jumped at the chance of a payday knowing that he could easily replace the income stream.
hmm, they didn't add or say muchDennis Lillee and Rod Marsh are doing a guest spot on Macquarie Radio. I think they were meant to come on for a chat pre-match, but were late
So you’re claiming he didn’t take a voluntary redundancy?Incorrect - the offer was paltry - cost cutting at your ABC
