I don’t really understand Michael Vaughan being on fox cricket. England aren’t here and everyone knows how much the guy loves trolling Australian cricket. Mainly just haven’t found him to be particularly insightful as a commentator either.
playing the "modern Tony Greig" role sticking up for the tourists.
He was actually one of the only Englishman during the Ashes who gave credit to Smith/ the Aussie bowlers without it being through gritted teeth.I don’t really understand Michael Vaughan being on fox cricket.

I really like Vaughan as a commentator. He's a deadshit on twitter though.
7 probably have the better commentators with Ponting and Katich but I like Wasim Akram on Fox.
But 7 have Slats which sucks a bit.
Yeah I synced up ABC grandstand with Kayo yesterday and it was a good time. Chris Rogers is really good on Grandstand.There are pros and cons with both hence why I have 7's pictures and Macquarie Sports Radio on.
Ramiz Raja is 7's Pakistani commentator but he seems to have barely been in the box this whole Test.I really like Vaughan as a commentator. He's a deadshit on twitter though.

Yep, I thought that was a bit untidy.started the test on fox but warne just got too much so went over to 7, switched back yesterday and he was still all these years later giving paul collingwood grief, just pathetic.

Vaughan looked uncomfortable TBH.
Because they know the rusted-ons will watch anyway, especially if it's a monopoly situation.I recently read an article bemoaning how poor the MNF coverage had become in the US, with their focus on big garish graphics and clueless commentators, and it got me wondering why TV stations are so keen to attract non-sports fans to their telecasts even at the risk of alienating the rusted-ons who make the rights so valuable in the first place. It's certainly how it felt in Nine's last few years.
Fox's coverage is produced by Brad McNamara, Nine's ex-producer during their worst years. While it's miles better than Nine it still has a bit of a Nine feeling around it such as having 3 commentators and Warne running his mouth.Also interestingly I find that 7's coverage seems higher-brow than Fox's despite being FTA rather than subscription. Watching 7 at times feels very radio-esque (no doubt an influence on signing so many ex-ABC guys + Ponting), whereas Fox feels more of a standard TV coverage (but probably still better than most TV cricketing broadcasts). From what I remember the 4 and Sky were kind of similar in that regard?
Also worth noting that Channel 7’s cricket coverage is produced by the guy that used to do channel 10 BBL coverage - which was fantasticFox's coverage is produced by Brad McNamara, Nine's ex-producer during their worst years.
