At least there wont be anymore of gus the goose.
43 of the 59 bbl will be on 7 anyway. 59 Games is ridiculous

How good is this cartoon from today's Australian....
I'm completely perplexed as to how anyone thinks Foxtel had a contribution to the popularity of the bbl.

They didnt. It only took off when it went on 10

Yeah the BBL really only took off after Ten got the rights to it, I thought Ten did a great job with it and it's a shame they've lost the rights.
Ten did a better job of covering AFL than Ch7 have done too, it's just a pity they don't have the money to match the other FTA stations so just end up with the less popular sports like rugby union or motor racing.

Yes he’s a gun, he should be shot. Can’t stand the tool.

Just on BT apprantly he did do BBL game when it was on Fox.

I keep forgetting that any records from the previous T20 state comp are null and void, and only BBL records matter now.
Exactly. Apparently the massive crowds and good tv ratings didn’t happen before the league format happened

My takehomes from the new deal are:
* It’s disappointing to see the end of an era at 9
* Without commentary, 40 years of experience in cricket broadcasting will go to waste and we could be set for a bad experience on 7. Watching the BBL on 10, they score incorrectly or miss replays occasionally, so you can only imagine what will happen on 7.
* Foxtel can follow the cricket all year round which is an incentive for me to get Pay TV, as well as the other sports. There might even be a 24/7 cricket channel!!
* The Sheffield Shield Final will be on TV which is great
* Obviously no one cares about ODI’s anymore, certainly i dont
* A full home and away BBL will not be good for the game at all unless it is played in the same timeframe, it gets tiring after a few weeks already.

Can anyone find any footage of him at all. I tried having a look this morning but to no avail.

He made mention of it on the saturday rub. He was with AB.
Peddling tired stereotypes doesn't really add much. Surely you can appreciate that people are disappointed that broadcasters and sports organisations are in cahoots to make further profits at the expense of many lower class people, which encompasses a large percentage of their audience. It's biting the hand that feeds you.

Brilliant
I wish they"d end up with motor racing. Because of Lachie Murdoch, I have to watch F1 at a gaming venue.
That may be the case. But it doesn't take away the fact that the bbl became relevant once 10 started broadcasting it.

Definitely, watching some of the streams is really annoying, especially the MCG and WACA ones. This way theyll have have so much more cricket on almost every day, wall to wall coverage.

Surely 10 will have to go after the A-league now, and try and broadcast every game. There is a fair chunk of the population who would love to have soccer on FTA, what other option do they have anyway
