Mitchell is very good. Would rather listen to TMS and watch it with the sound off though, but as I don't have BT and am watching on my phone using modbro that's not an option. I am in an airbnb in Walsall having been to the England ladies match there tonight and knocking off another of my 92 before the now very short trip to Burton tomorrow. Using my 4g to stream it.

Ps get in Anderson.
 
Seeing them all together at the end for the analysis, looks like a tramps convention, been raiding the charity shops. Not as smart as the sky lads.

It’s dreadful. Absolutely dreadful. 1/10. Have these people never watched cricket when Benaud was commentating?
Someone mentioned that you can tell they’re from radio and that’s spot on. I don’t need it describing to me, I can see it. I want a commentator to add to the experience not ruin it.
Why the fuck someone thought Swann would add to it I’ve no idea. Did they think his “zaniness” would attract a youthful audience or something?? He’s a complete cock. I’d give it up if these twats got any more series.

He's put on a fair bit of clem since he retired too. That XXL Mag Top beckons

I think Boycott has been good. There are days where he comes across like a dementia ridden, arrogant plank and others days where he is very good and insightful. Bizarre really.

I don't mind Boycott. He's like a classic granddad who doesn't particularly engage with what the other person says and just talks about what HE wants to talk about. Over and over again. But he does know his cricket.

Can't say I'm enjoying this coverage. No third man, giving insights on tactics, technique and general play.

Two man/woman stints with virtually nil banter.

Boycott, I'm sorry, is past it

The only person I'm enjoying a bit is Adam Gilchrist

Marks so far

4/10

"Stick o' rhubarb, stick o' rhubarb"

I wish someone would hit that fucker ower the heed with a big juicy bit, Mr Stating The f***ing Obviously.
 
Its like channel 5 coverage. None of the gadgets/graphics/third man etc of sky so very one dimensional. Annoys me how much they show the wickets like we f***ing remember what happened after the 10th showing, too many adverts also.

I have a vested interest in BT but they can fuck off buying any more England cricket.

Worlds away from sky and poorer than channel 4.

Punter,Gilly and Boyce have been good. Alison is alreet.

Fleming has been bit meh. Swann and Vaughan crap.

Can't agree. His craic might work for T20 but not test cricket.

Here we go! It's gone to the moon! And it's gone all the way, baby! Ah yes! In some style! Straight as a die! Got the dancing shoes on! Look at the follow-through. Got the full flourish! With the one-wood. Boom! And it went miles."

Not for me.

Isn't it the case that it's not bought the English cricket but the rights to all Australia home tests so automatically got the ashes?
