Exactly the same on Botham.

I take your point, but what does Ward bring ... apart from being the butt of the jokes ?
Felt the same about Gower also so not missing either. Mark Butcher currently replacing Charles Colvile on the Debate, much poorer programme without the Charles and Bob rhetoric.
I’m actually amazed Key is there given he had a stroke not that long ago

Ward is approaching Mark Nicholas smugness these days.
Hussain seems to have become the comedy figure for some reason.
Mark Butcher should be involved IMO.

This. I've had to stop watching.

You've stopped watching the test match because of ERB doing a stint on third man analysis?

Not just her. If you follow my posts for the last few days, the whole commentary is just shit and incredibly bland. I'll stick to watching the football.

I still think its not bad, i like Athers, Hussein, Holding and Key. Miss Gower and Bumble, as others have said Botham could not be arsed last couple of years.

Fair enough, I don't think the broadcast as a whole has been great but it seems a bit snowflakey and an overreaction to stop watching the cricket because of the that. But whatever, that's your choice.
Knight has called that perfectly

Botham clearly hung around much longer than was worth because it was a free expenses paid gig to watch cricket at its highest level and he wasn't going to quit Sky voluntarily. When they made that decision he's said on his twitter page he still will be attending matches once crowds are allowed back even if he doesn't have the duties of broadcasting anymore. Gower on the other hand is wanting a return to TMS and I hope he gets it. His voice and dry manner of commentary is more suited to radio than TV although he was an excellent anchor.
Bumble is doing the second test at Old Trafford so clearly a Covid restriction preventing him from being in Southampton.

Just switch the sound off, it’s less dramatic and just as effective
