Pretty sure 9 have the exclusive rights and are putting it on GEM for HD
Means we have to put up with Ch9 commentators

Oh that is ****ing terrible news.
For whatever reason my tv doesn't get digital channels. I watch nine and ten through foxtel (well, if I did watch nine and ten, I'd watch it through foxtel)
...meaning I get no GEM. Meaning I go on a murder rampage if I can't watch it on my TV

Pretty sure GEM is on channel 126? That may be GO, actually.

Yeah Foxtel only has GO unfortunately. Now I understand why psychopaths go crazy. A week out from the Ashes, get the news that I don't get no ashes.

Got nothing to do with the Aussies. It's about the Essex mgt as it was with Kent. They want the games to go four days to maximise revenue.

Essex will also have to make a score for the game to go 4 days. I thought that players like Starc would want to skittle out Essex quickly to make an impression. Weird agreement !!!

I have to say that Aus commentators really do talk some proper shit about the Aussies. I don't know if they are doing it to wind up the English commentators or not.

It's a very flat pitch. Both pitches have been belters.

Sounds like Starc is bowling some very ordinary stuff...

Fuarrrk that is rank. Pretty sure I can get GEM on digital but this means I won't be able to record the final sessions on IQ. Feel for you though buddy, get a cheap set top box?

I've thought about that but just assumed that if digital doesn't work through my TV, then a set top box might not work either.
Dunno mate, guess I'll just ask around and try to find a solution

Apparently Vaughn and Bumble are joining the Ch9 coverage so it's not all bad news, although we still have to put up with Healy.

Just watch your telly like a normal telly and you'll b able to get it.

Lyon 4 overs 0-43. Yikes.

You would've thought he was lock after Ahmed's uninspiring performances, but this could make things interesting.

Doodlesweaver · Jul 3, 2015

Essex manking Lyon around.

The_Reaper · Jul 3, 2015

Why is Lyon always shit in ordinary first class matches?

I can't mate. It just says "No channels available. Please scan."
I don't know how many times I've scanned, but it's a lot of ****in times!

How old is the TV
Needs to be HD and Digital or with a HD set top box

Regular SD Channels = 7, 7Two, 9, Go, 10, 11 etc..
HD Channels = OneHD, 7Mate, GEM, ABC24

Probably 2-3 years old. It's a good TV, Sony 42 inch(either LCD or plasma, I don't even know) full HD and the HD channels you've mentioned there are the ones I should get as they are through the TV, but they don't work.
When I first got the TV - they worked for probably about 6 months, then they stopped, so I just watch everything through Foxtel.

Needs more David Gower. Obviously he'll be leading the Sky Sport coverage, though.

Lyon and Ahmed being smashed by division 2 teams is the green light for the ECB to ask for the spinning decks IMO..
but will they do it?

I thought from what Bayliss said already that Cardiff is likely to be a dry turner?

That was just me reading between the lines with the selection...
Nothing has been confirmed. I have heard other people say Cardiff favours fast bowlers..
I was thinking about the whole series rather than just Cardiff .

Well, that's what they did last time. Only neither side has any spin bowler with the ability of Swann.

Surely... surely Mitch Marsh has to play at Cardiff now...

Who knows with our selectors and their apparent complete devotion to Watson.

Part of me expects Watson to play, with the selectors' mindset being "Marsh is in great touch if he needs to replace someone"
