Pete Lalor has backed away from this claim, after Fox Sports and Melbourne Stars both said it was incorrect.

Meanwhile, this content shows how Nine was basically phoning it in for the last five years.

And my other nomination is Damien Fleming.

No one, nowhere has ever found him any of:
* Interesting
* Funny (could underline this one)
* Insightful
* Not completely annoying
* Soothing
* Worthy of a career in the media

Yet here we are. Channel 10 gave his drawl a chance and Channel 7 in their ever absent wisdom let it continue.

There's much worse than Damo

Damo commentating on Stars game is much worse than regular Damo.

I was wactching Wolves vs Liverpool in the EPL and co commentator Jim Beglin said ''corridor of uncetainty'' and I immediately thought of Damien Fleming.

It's so difficult trying to watch the Aus Open and putting up with the ads and cross promotion. Those ubereats spots in particular make me want to puke in second-hand embarrassment. Foxtel for the cricket and AFL is money well spent.

Free to air is horrible

variables aren't quantified.. no just say that decisions aren't made on a whim..
neither are the chief rumblings of the board walk...

count me in as a rampant decision maker. choose and deliver. I like to think so..

Been good having Finchy in the com box.

Fox Cricket need to have a bit more of a crack at the moment. There’s some decent stuff, but way too much women’s cricket (often for hours on end) and Big Bash.

Maybe they don't have the staff to find the materials further back in the archive?

Might be a rights thing.

 

[Cleavy]

Have they gone down the "add new commentary" route yet?

 

[The Speaker]

Might be a rights thing.

I thought they had bought the rights to the archive as part of the deal, but maybe I was imagining that.

They have but they burnt through most of that already

 

[hawkman]

A shame they don't have the rights to last years Ashes. Would be a good way to kill 3 weeks of lockdown

Both could be factors.

I just think that Fox have been covering cricket for a very long time, especially overseas tours, and they have also covered many great international series, tournaments, etc.

Some of the documentaries and highlights packages, etc they've shown lately have been good (e.g. 1992-93 Adelaide Test), but unfortunately I haven't got a lot of interest in watching hours of women's cricket and BBL replays.

 

[The Speaker]

They burnt through the entire archive of every Australian match on domestic soil, and any ones they had the rights to internationally, plus the ICC's archive that they opened up?

 

[Chaisa]

I guess the other factor is that it's hard to condence the stuff that is actually interesting (Tests/ODI's) into helpful 2-3 hour packages.

Well...the good matches.

Unless you want to watch us beat up on Bangladesh in Darwin in 2003, or Zimbabwe in Perth and Sydney later that year...

Cricket fanatics will take anything. Just look at robelinda's channel - nostalgia of any kind is good enough.

Good point. I'd gladly sit through the 2 day test we had against Pakistan in Sharjah

I presume the matches are just highlight packages.
