looks like cost cutting with graphics and animations teams. been very un-australian production so far

 

[Zinzan]

NZ's got a home test series starting next week haven't they? He'll be busy there I suppose

You're right, it might be that since it looks like the home summer broadcasting is back with Sky NZ. TVNZ, who broadcast the last couple of years didn't include Smithy, either because they couldn't afford him or couldn't provide pies up to his standard.

 

[Burgey]

I don't understand

Come on Aussie, Come On lyrics from back in the WSC days.

 

[Starfighter]

The best opposition batsman usually is

Yeah, but it'd be nice if we had some way of getting him out aside from fluking it.

On a recent podcast with Atherton, Hussain and Doull, Doull mentioned Smith and said he's only doing radio over the summer apparently.

[Spark]

[Burgey]

Looks like he gloved that. Cheating Indians.

Got a good poker face haven't ya? Starc says to Reddy after they botch the review.

Yep, contracted to SENZ (now Sport Nation) doing their morning show and part of the upcoming commentary team.

Washington has a better one tbh

Boy who cried wolf for Marnus innit? Might be wrong but Isn't he known for going up for almost anything?

 

[Daemon]

Need more controversy from somewhere. Australia usually lose their composure whenever there’s any. See brainfade, the last BG, Bairstow run out etc.

 

[sayon basak]

@capt_Luffy what does Starc have to do for you to rate him above Hazlewood (or even Pat Cummins)?

 

[honestbharani]

Lol... NKR gets away with one. Dont fault the on field umpires usually for these, also understandable why captains are reluctant to go for the strangle down leg too.

I guess what annoys me of the earlier decision is that the 3rd umpire made a shocker AFTER having DRS taken. All bad decisions are bad but I guess I find it more understandable or forgieable when mistakes are made by the on-field umpires.

Nah, the cricket's still on TVNZ (I think the deal runs through till 2026).

 

[Spark]

Really surprised that Lyon has stayed over the wicket still. Usually on a day one bouncy deck he goes around immediately
