Can't really put my finger on it but he doesn't irritate me as much as Vaughan. Don't listen to TMS much these days so maybe that's why. Vaughan is more noticeable as he "pops up" more and of course there's his twitter presence

I listened to a podcast interview he did this week, he honestly just thinks he is the funniest man to walk this earth. Everything i've read about the England squad from that time seems to suggest they all hated him as well (the documentary The Edge strongly hinted at it for example)

I really don't mind Swann, he tries to hard which can be painful but otherwise he's alright imo.
Vaughan is just a bellend.

I just think it’s a football thing on here.
Never met anyone else in real life that hates him as much as posters on here

Get IPTV.
There’s definitely some of that, but he remains a weapon. The lad banter is dreadful
the worst of the lot is the Hussain/Key double act which focuses on Key being fat. Hussain is good when he sticks to cricket, but their “banter” is minging

Worst thing about the BT Sport coverage is Matt Smith. Not because he’s a bad presenter, more he clearly isn’t a cricket fan or has any pedigree covering cricket. As a result he has to resort to just saying numbers, then if there’s a rain delay he can’t hold an interesting or insightful conversation long enough with the expert/experts.
Tbf he was the presenter when itv4 had the ipl

Anything with Botham I just mute immediately. Pompous wanker. I'm quite happy with no commentary, just the sound of the actual game and the crowd. That muat be available somewhere?

BT's deal ends at the end of this Aussie season, I reckon that has a bit to do with the decision to get the series on.
It's a clever strategy from BT, and they've done the same with New Zealand and the West Indies.
Not at all. They paid £80m for a 5 year deal to show all Australian domestic cricket, and that included two Ashes series and the Big Bash. Bit of a bargain.

This for me. thinks he is a comedian when really his banter is f***ing gash. Most cricket teams have a player like this in their side - they tolerate him because he is decent when in reality most think he is prick.
that's just in your head that likeHussain and Atherton are the best in the business by some distance
On the podcast it’s not. The lad banter is minging
Hussain and Atherton are the best in the business by some distance
they dont even do a podcast, stopped ages ago
just a weird thing you have in your head
Everything you disagree with is weird mind.
its quite a niche thing to get annoyed about, this idea that Nasser is constantly calling Rob Key fat
Happened loads. I just found the “banter” cringeworthy. When Hussain talks cricket he is very goodits quite a niche thing to get annoyed about, this idea that Nasser is constantly calling Rob Key fat
