7Cricket Vs Fox Cricket

[Grumpyshades]

both platforms have been shocking in the number of times they mention or show the boofhead army..Seriously every 3 deliveries ?


woeful

Will never happen but had this take but for bbl (especially during the tests) should fox and 7 just combine and do one feed with there best commentators instead of two separate ones?

So basically this group

 

[Broar]

I get the Big bash isn't seen as overly serious but do these guys really think we want to hear about what they did for new years and their resolutions and waffling on about Tai Chi?

How about we talk about the actual game....

I think it's official, Warner is the worst commentator on either network

 

[Plugger35]

Will Pucovski is a better ex-cricketer commentator than Warner but he is way too young to be an ex-cricketer commentator at 27.

I guess they didn't resolve to be better commentators; and call it from the ground instead of the studio?

Whatever one thinks of standard of commentary and coverage on the respective TV broadcasts, thank your lucky stars neither 7 or Fox brought Kevin Pietersen and his word salad mixed with verbal diarrhoea out for the Ashes. I've been watching some of the SA20 and he's as painful to listen to as ever.

For Fox watchers - is it just me or does Alyssa Healy commentate for 90% of the day's play, every day?

She is on constantly.

Is she the only one that doesn't split time with other brodacasters, so does a lot more?

Sure seems like she's on every 2nd stint for sure.

we need more bumbles and tuffers on either warner is the Kellie underwood of cricket commentating

 

[new0066]

bumbles and tuffers

7 had him for Test 3 commentary and has been doing other stuff for Test 4 & 5. I guess they don’t want to have 2 expert commentators from the visiting team.

Tuffers also has been part of 7 coverage for different segments not commentary. Swann also has been on 7 and Botham

For me 7 has been using the UK personalities in their coverage a lot while Fox is just sticking with their Fox people only. Which is disappointing given Fox is the host broadcaster

fox has an ex England player Vaughan but does that count

Yeah but Fox only have him and Isa Guha. 7’s commentary line up is Mitchell & Broad but they have used the others for other parts of the coverage.

I think in total 7cricket has had 6 England voices - including Mitchell who is permanent member while Fox is just 2

Real shame that Athers and Nasser haven’t been part of any commentary teams this series. Their daily Ashes recaps for Sky have been fantastic.

Got an observation about Warner that I assume almost all will disagree with.

His commentary on cricket is actually very insightful. He clearly gets the game and has a very deep understanding of batting - which we probably should expect of somebody with nearly 9000 test runs.

His problem is he has the voice of a 13yo nuffy so you just switch off and think 'he's a moron".

If you actually listen to what he says on cricket, there's a lot of gold in there.

Warner is nothing like Underwood. Kellie is terrible to listen to and she demonstrates she has little idea about the nuances of the game.

Dave Warner is terrible to listen to, but he's does have a very good knowledge of the game especially batting.

Michael Hussey was similar in commentary. His voice was terrible to listen to, but he'd say some really smart things.

 

[MJG14]

Stuck on 7 today because I'm away and the internet is too crap for Kayo. Usually don't mind 7 because of Ponting but I swear that Langer has done every commentary shift today!

I wonder if this kid took Nasser's advice on board



Before the Sydney Test, Athers was talking about his hundred at the SCG in 1991 and acknowledged it was a boring, slow innings which opened the gate for Nasser to say "you really didn't need to add that bit about it being slow and boring".

Half of being a commentator is being able to complete a sentence.
Id be fine with him if it was just his voice but he also intersperses his obvious knowledge of batting with some really dumb stuff. He said today Stokes had had a great series ffs

Thankfully neither broadcaster has had a stuff up like this when a TNT Sports ball by ball caller confused a replay with live vision.

isnt the crazy thing that the first year tnt(BT sports) had the rights the coverage was actually pretty decent remember watching the youtube panel discussions that werent geoblocked and it seemed pretty good... and then like most of payed tv it seems covid happened

 

[Buzzasto DaSilva]

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I am really enjoying Shane Watson this BBL. Great knowledge ot T20 and particularly imports. Adds a lot of value to the coverage.
