World Cup Commentators

[piefan]

Sky is the host broadcaster. I think the feed/commentators goes worldwide. Hopefully Ch9 can work something out for Aussie viewers.

Has Greg Blewett been sticking his finger in the electrical sockets prior to appearing on air?

 

[ShearMagic9]

Thats actually not a bad commentary team TBH.

It would be better with Bill in there though

Yes, the super 8s

Will 9 have their own commentators for their own matches? IT would be a pity if they weren't on at all. Is 9 the only FTA broadcaster left of cricket in the world? Coz if they are then there is still hope. Also piefan, can you give us a source? is it sky?

 

[mbuck]

He normally does, so it could be right.

No, South Africa had awarded its tv rights for the cup to their equivalent of our ABC to take cricket to a wider audience over there.

Channel 9 has the Super 8's, semis and final on.

ABC radio is covering every match Australia is involved in. Coverage will start at 12.30 am EST.

Well the bottom lot aren't there as they are contracted to another TV station, Boycott will be doing highlights on the BBC and Gower is presenting probably.
