Hodge perhaps?

 

[big_e]

Hodge perhaps?

They said popular.

Hodge perhaps?

Brad Hodge is on channel 7's commentary team.

ah yep, forgot about that one, my bad.

 

[Gough]

Bryce McGain? Just qualifies on the Test front and has dabbled in media.

 

[010203]

Merv Hughes?

 

[Kyptastic]

Merv Hughes?

Hope not, he's been tried a few times on Fox and 10s Big Bash and he doesn't add too much.

I can't say I'm enthused about Merv either. Merv was on MMM cricket. Brad McNamara may have liked what he heard while in his role as MMM cricket producer and might be tempted to give him a gig.

Some domestic 50 over matches on Fox, and the Shield final.

 

[Grandsun]

Besides big bash what domestic cricket is on tv this summer?

The gov general match aswell as the prime minister xi.. fox cricket could open up oppertunities for other exhibition matches to be broadcasted aswell

A little unfair, I think. CA has never been as guilty of chasing money as the ECB - or the BCCI.

Agreed. Giles Clarke was like Vlad. Damaged the game by chasing £. Utterly unloved.

Really surprised and dispirited by Ian Healy’s signing. Hard to believe now, in his first few years at Ch 9 he was an excellent, perceptive commentator but by the mid-00s he’d turned into the jingoistic, abrasive twit that he remained till last summer. Can’t see him changing now back to his early version.

To echo what others have said, it feels like the Ch 7 & Fox commentary teams are the opposite of what one would’ve expected. Fox Sports is looking pretty dire now.

Terrible.

I'd rather they brought back Nicholas or Chappell I before I had to listen to Healy's stream of consciousness again.

 

[qman]

Terrible.

I'd rather they brought back Nicholas or Chappell I before I had to listen to Healy's stream of consciousness again.

I don't get the indifference to Nicholas, for mine outside of the Sky UK team, he's the best around. Very unbiased and very knowledgable.

Mitchell Johnson has joined Fox Cricket. Got a feeling he'll be an Aussie Graeme Smith - a one eyed supporter with a microphone.

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

Just went through the TV guide, they’re showing some classic matches before the live cricket starts.

Pretty keen to watch some matches when Ponting and co were playing. 2008 vs the saffers is one I’ll be recording.

They've got some ripper classic matches coming up - the one where the Windies beat Australia by 1 run in Adelaide makes an appearance.

Absolutely loving watching the coverage of old test matches on fox. Ripper channel so far.
