Ashes Coverage

[ManWithNoName]

I'll probably be going with the TV and streaming the TMS Commentary. Far prefer it to Sky's commentary.

 

[VirgilHilts]

It's the opposite for me: as much as Botham and Gower get on my ****, TMS is unbearable. I can't stand the way that their commentators, but particularly Agnew, consider it their duty to be deeply unimpressed by everything. Admittedly it was worse in the days of Selvey and Trueman and Trevor Bailey but it's still pretty bad. And aside from that it's the sheer middle class-ness of it all.

Atherton and Hussain are probably the most insightful commentators Sky have, with David Lloyd being decent when he isn't pissing about.

Nasser and Botham are bitter as **** and it just oozes through in everything they say. Nasser in particular, he's got some unresolved demons that bloke. Living the dream through today's crop.

But ah, it's all part of the theatre. Us against them, the anger, the frustration, the predatory satisfaction as patto_man goes on the rampage.

But I'll miss marto's rape eyes

ABC Grandstand not covering it??? Anyone?

Sky is awful. TMS is solid but being a UK resident, its really comforting to listen to Grandstand as I work

[Cricket Brain]

Anyone know if the coverage on GEM is ad-free or is it going to be packed with ads at the end of every over?

Was that the one with some bloke called Cameron Bruce?

It's on GEM but it is still channel 9 dude.

Be prepared for an even smaller rotation of the same ads in a non rating time slot!

 

[Mateyman]

Anyone one know of a live stream for those that are in countries with no broadcast?

In parts of Europe and South America it's streamed on youtube

 

[Hu$tler]

Sensational coverage.

 

[mjay]

Anyone know where to watch from the States?

 

[Johanpetro]

Hello y'all. This is a long shot, but any one know where to watch the ashes in Colombia? If not, the best option to watch it online?

Streamed on YouTube in South America? Wass all this then?

Willow TV. If you want to have the TV channel you will have to call your cable or satellite company. Otherwise you can subscribe to their youtube stream, which is pretty good quality(720p). But be advised that if you get their monthly subscription it is a recurring one and you will have to call them to have it cancelled once you are done. Otherwise you can get the season pass for $39.99, which is a one time payment and will cover the whole Ashes, not a bad deal if you ask me. Schedule and payment here--> http://www.youtube.com/live_season?list=PL391B396BD7EC9369

Excellent. Thank you

 

[ManWithNoName]

Aggers just tweeted that we can get TMS on the ABC, so has Grandstand sent their own team or are they just giving us the TMS commentary?

We usually just get TMS commentary with one or two ABC's thrown in. Jim Maxwell is over there I believe.

That will be a fair effort from CMJ, given that he passed away on 1st January this year.

Well done to the dummies at the ABC. It's still up on their page too:

Any ideas on how to get grandstand stream from abroad. I can only get afl/nrl replays....

Thanks in advance...

Loving the HD on GEM in my region, only sport broadcast in HD (barring the American stuff on ONE). Shits all over the football coverage.

Who's this Tim flog though?

EDIT: I take it back, **** you GEM, didn't show the first ball.
