7Cricket Vs Fox Cricket

[holybishop]

The difference between the picture quality of Fox's 4K coverage and 7's "HD" feed is lightyears apart. No matter how painful Warne can get after watching 4K cricket I will never be able to accept the FTA broadcast.

Loved Warnie as a player. I'd stop whatever I was doing as a kid to watch him bowl but my god is he insufferable in the booth...

It was funny listening to Warne going on about how even he was dropped a couple of times early in his career so its something that young players have to expect before they consolidate their spot, and then have someone point out that Warne got dropped again late in his career in the West Indies.

And boy did he crack the sads about that.

crushing it Mr Warne.... butt heavenly Michael slater.. um Punter... Micky Vaughn... ant gonna stab myself in the ear for you are all rippers...

 

[Drunkcat]

Give me Warne any day before Slater Warnie is a legend so for me he can say what he likes

 

[Willo_]

My love for Isa Guha has me firmly in the fox camp, I actually like Howie as well, I feel he knows how role and doesn't try to be a star, and of course skull is awesome
Warne however is absolutely awful
Trade Warne for the brilliant Ponting somehow and there would be zero reason to even consider watching 7

 

[Father Jack]

They used to leash Warne pretty well on the Sky coverage in England, but here for some reason he gets to crap on about cheese pizzas, getting out for 99 and where they're going to go for their post-stumps piss-up with no one in management telling him to shut up and concentrate on the bloody cricket that's actually happening right now

 

[JuniorWatch]

Someone needs to pull Mark Waugh outta there.
When he's not telling you how awesome he is, he's slurring his words like Robbo

 

[010203]

Brayshaw just said Pakistan have never played a pink ball test. He's obviously forgotten about the test at the Gabba in 2016 which he called for MMM.

 

[Leeda]

no 7 cos it is H'd.. talking is standing alone and wrecking the dynamic.. way to go.. high def screen// vs high or different commentary...

 

[Hamingja]

I've got Kayo but never feel the need to watch it on that over 7. The 7 coverage is fine.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

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.

Does anyone become attracted to a sport due to the commentators? Seems ridiculous that they think this brings in new people

I'm pretty much the same. Ponting is enough to keep me from feeling the need to stream. Watching him and McGrath break down Starc's change in action is why I don't feel the need to hear Warne, Howard and O'keefe.

 

[damochandler]

Apparently Warnie hated the baggy green thing at Wimbledon. Wow I didn’t realise that

 

[PT Bar None]

The barrage of cross promotion that modern free to air has become does my head in. I like Test cricket. I don't like MKR. No I'm not going to watch MKR despite how much you flog it during the Test telecast.

7 aren't as bad as 9 got with The Block, etc. and 10 turned the preamble of the F1 from one of the best introductions to the season possible into effectively Studio 10 from Albert Park. Have given up on that sport altogether now. 9 killed my watching of international white ball cricket

Enjoy your adds kents, whilst we get to immerse ourselves into the rhythm of the game.

I could listen to Isa all day

SETTLE!!!

 

[Pykie]

I’ve been watching Fox.

I can put up with Warne to listen to Vaughan.

Vaughen’s the best in the business and I like a non-bias view.

Apart from when it comes to Sheffield United.

Cold Chisel had a hit with the song "Ita." Should reinvent it and change the title to "Isa." She is a ripper.

 

[DEVO]

Prefer C7 for a couple of reasons.

1. C7 have Ricky Ponting who is the most insightful cricket commentator going round. Also I don't mind Allison Mitchell and Glenn McGrath has been a bit of surprise.
2. Fox have Warne and Vaughan. Warne is just terrible, the worst commentator in history and his mastery of the English language is embarrassing at best. And Vaughan is bland and compared to Ponting is third rate at best.

 

[Pistol Night]

No brainer in country areas. Fox in 4K, or flick over to 7 and it feels like you've downed 28 beers the picture is that crap. 2019 and the dickheads at 7 and 9 wont put HD in the country. The AFL Grand Final takes the cake.

Chalk and cheese in their delivery though. The dulcet tones of Isa, compared to Jimmy screaming like he got his dick slammed in the fridge door.

 

[Coops93]

Dislike Howie, Warne is annoying. Isa is surprisingly good, but Ponting is probably the best commentator overall I'd say, I also don't mind Hussey.

Fox has more bells a whistles whilst 7 keeps it simple. Overall I'd say I find 7 less annoying than Fox, though Fox has some redeeming features like no ads and couple of the features are good - though a few are rubbish. So they balance out imo, I can watch either and enjoy it. If I get sick of ads I'll put Fox on (Kayo) but if Warne is annoying more or the fluff is getting in the way I'll flick it back to 7.
