Using their graphics and calling the whole match, or using 7's graphics and call and then BJ etc would talk between overs? Scorchers game was the latter. Was kind of annoying.

They used their graphics and called the whole match. Andy Maher and some others were on Seven.

Decided to do my own version of what Fox Cricket could've gone with if they followed the rest of the Fox suite in use for AFL, NRL, A-League and V8's

Having done it I can see why they haven't stuck with it.

(also, ignore the actual stats, they probably don't line up)

Decided to mock up the Channel 7 cricket graphics. I wanted to make minor changes to the big bash graphics, in order to show how easily it can be improved, but it turns out that was not the case.

If you would like to use these then here is the photoshop file. http://www.mediafire.com/file/m3d2h30es72wjee/ch7.psd

yeah, the stats are wrong. the current australian test team couldn't last 13 overs without losing a wicket.

As funny as that is, we lasted 21 overs this innings

There was more daylight between bat and ball in that than found in Antartica during summer.

hey bro any chance you can share this?

Surely if you’re working for Fox you could get the actual files from them and make a more accurate one.

wrong bloke he quoted the wrong person ahaha

Nah, clearly out. Problem is the shitty framerate meaning there was no visual evidence

The noise came after the ball went past the bat.

The fox graphics is technically a dynamically changing background. If you look closely in the AFL scorebug, you'll see the backgrounds of the team names "flow"

Looks as though Channel 9 are just using the in-house Australian Open graphics rather than having their own as 7 used to do.

Not a bad decision, the AO graphics are definitely not the best, but they aren't the worst either. Fairly clean and easy to read, but the glossy look is becoming a little dated. I'd be curious to see what Nine would have come up with if they made their own though, something similar to last summers cricket graphics would be the most likely option

It just feels lazy to me. This is their big ticket summer sport and they’re acting like an international rights holder rather than a host brodacaster which, even though they technically weren’t, Seven always acted as if they were.

Nine’s treatment of the lead up tournaments was very ordinary. Relegated to secondary channels while they showed a 73rd repeat of The Hangover on the main channel.

I'm the opposite. I think it fits the 9 broadcast quite well, the colours and general design of the scorebug and graphics package goes well with the 9WWOS logo in the top corner and 9's general branding.

I actually think Nine's decision to take the tournament graphics is brilliant. At Rod Laver last year I was watching the broadcast in the concourse waiting for a change of ends and was impressed at how much more professional the official tournament presentation was compared to seven. And as was mentioned earlier, if you didn't know any better the blue would suggest it works great with nine.

Nine have been close to flawless with their presentation so far, the graphics are great, the location of the desk near the Melbourne park entrance is a nice change and the advertisements (while annoying as all ads are) have been much cleaner and seamless compared to seven.

That same, tired view of Rod Laver used by Seven since it was built does get a bit boring, so it's nice to see a change. Agree with everything else too, although it still is only Day 1, still 13 days left they can bugger up

I'm not sure if it's because I've had less of an interest this year or I'm not watching enough Nine, but has there been hardly any promos this year? I honestly forgot it started today and only remembered when I flicked on the TV this morning. I could swear Seven used to saturate all of their channels with promos for the tennis

Anybody able to grab a screencap of the graphics?

Admittedly I am not a tennis fanatic so I'm not sure what a lot of the intricacies mean, but these look pretty slick and efficient to communicate the information so that's a tick in my books.

sorta looks like some form of media player you'd find on a windows vista computer

Nine hadn't plenty of promos all over their channels for the last two months pretty much. They even had their ads on Foxtel promoting they had the tennis, can remember watching Fox8 and thinking it was weird there was a nine ad. And yesterday they did a full spread front page ad on The Age and SMH advertising the tennis on nine, I guess because they own the newspapers now.

If Channel Nine had the footy and used the AO graphics.

My memory must be failing me as I remember the Grand Final being a tad closer than that
