7Cricket Vs Fox Cricket

[Cleavy]

remember them....and shudder. i think it was the beginning of commentators and the like becoming the telecast rather than the cricket. cameras now also faced inwards at those in the box. they hammed it up, made faces, became unnatural.

who could forget warneys survey about pizzas

and fan voted player of the match

The 'dirty rotten'

 

[RedOrWhite]

Finch is for Test 1 & 2. He’s replaced by Bumble. Fleming will be there Boxing Day test.

Still no official announcement about Botham

Finch I imagine will then move across for BBL. I'd have him over Hayden and Langer anyday.

Does anyone know if there's a reddit or X account that posts the commentary team schedule for the respective networks? There was one X account that posted the Fox commentary stints a few years back but I can't find it now.

7cricket on Twitter or Insta stories did the same by posting the commentary stints about 2-3 years ago. But I don’t think they did that since then

I didn't know that, hopefully they start doing it again.

I always start the day with Seven. The first session of every day is almost always Ponting.

Then I change when Hayden/Langer come on.

 

[3rd Grade Maggy]

Going to miss Warnie today - arguing till the cows come home that the ball didn't swing.

 

[katana]

it is unreal how bad the Fox call is. analysis is crap, guys like Warner who can't get a sentence out without several affronts to syntax and good taste, michael vaughan who's just a colossal prick. howie sounds like he's calling a t20 all the time. mark waugh i don't mind but jesus he's a whiny campaigner.

i'm genuinely preferring the ads and watching 7. all fox would have to do is bring along nass/athers and isa. turf warner for anyone and a play caller who's not as shrill as howie.

So far we have had

Lane, Ponting & Broad
Mitchell, Hayden & Finch
Brayshaw, Ponting & Blewitt
Lane, Langer & Broad

 

[new0066]

howie sounds like he's calling a t20 all the time

I think that’s why 7 have Lane & Mitchell as they know how to call test cricket and know that not everything needs to be at maximum volume

Brayshaw seems to understand that too.

every time Fox introduces some new analysis widget to the broadcast, it does nothing for me.

Think I'll do the same, flicking back to check who's on 7 whenever Vaughan and Warner come on

 

[RedOrWhite]

This sums up both navigating between the two networks and the batting of both sides

 

[10Dulkar]

I'm going to the 7 studios with school on Tuesday so hoping to ask a question to the new Head of Sport who's shaken things up a lot on the footy side.

They might offer you a job

 

[pattymalone00]

I know its only becuse the game finished 3 days early but channel 7 having a post game show the day after reminds me how much we are robbed that fox cricket dont have a proper post play show (which was one of there biggest differences from channel 9/7) like they had with cricket 360 anymore, they should have extended it to be the day before and after the game aswell instead of totally shelving it

 

[MJG14]

TNT Sports have the right for this series in the UK and they have a pretty d-grade lineup. I've see a lot of comments from the English saying that they will be using a VPN to watch either Fox or Seven. I even saw some comments saying Langer is the best commentator they have, which proves that it must be bad!

Some revisionist history there with Warne

 

[Gough]

I love reading Atherton but he doesn't always translate verbally.

 

[Father Jack]

it was even more annoying when you saw the difference between Sky Warne and Nine/Fox Warne. Like, straighten him up, get rid of the pizza talk and Peaky Blinder hats and he was actually pretty good

Ah yes the Brad McNamara effect

(no clue if Brad was involved in the 9 telecast, but he is the architect of the "blokey" commentary in Australia whether it be for footy or cricket)

He was. He was one that really cracked it at the famous Geoff Lemon article

 

[ioppolo]

It was the same effect with Slats back in the day. Channel 9 Slats was borderline unbearable, any other telecast was quality. He did the 2015 would cup and was a completely different character.
