The Cricket Thread

Good news for the visibility of test cricket. Especially with kids being home more, some may actually watch what is hopefully a great series.


Not sure how many be out of bed for 4am for the start of most of the tests ;)

Shouldve made them all D/N like one is haha

(yes this is because I wont be out of bed at 4am!!!!)
 
by the looks of the shedule is C4 showing live play, no sign of highlights or discussions of the days play. say what you will about Sky but always plenty to watch if you can't see the whole days play
 
I see there are reports they are using an updated version of the SG ball, talk that it will have a more prominent seam and stay hard for 60 overs. We shall see............
 
Anyone know who the commentators are?


Channel 4 are taking the global feed from the host broadcasters StarSports and then having their own team in the studio on all accounts

Sounds like the following:

Main commentators: Murali Karthik, Nick Knight (sigh), Laxman Sivaramakrishnan
Co Commentators: Sunil Gavaskar, Mark Butcher, Ajit Agarkar, Deep Das Gupta
UK Pundit: Sir Alistair Cook

expect there will be more uk based pundits across the series, Vaughan (sigh) and KP been mentioned
 
Going to bed... if I wake up to Eng 86/4 .. it will be something reassuringly old feeling in a world that is turned upside down
