[hefty em]

I've watched a bit of the BBC highlights this 'summer' and it's a piss poor production compared with sky.

 

[Steak Pie]

Sunny and blue skies at the minute @Ghfd Not the warmest day though.

I'm looking forward to the BBC coverage.

Introduction by Tony Lewis then the commentary from Richie Benaud....What?....Michael Vaughan?...somebody shoot me.

The thought of Vaughan, and the limp-voiced failed Test match batsman Ramprakash, is enough for me to not atch it on BBC.

I quite like Ramprakash. Happy to judge commentators on their commentating not a historic batting average!

Cricket on the bbc was part of my childhood, something magical about the first day of a test match on BBC, nice to see them have some live cricket

 

[Wayne The Punk]

Are they covering the whole match? as in they wont bugger off to something else when rain comes in

I'm not saying anything about a full game but as @Steak Pie says it's been sunny, dry and cold so far today

It’s due to be a full match coverage. It will be interesting to see if a rain break is on, then it a wet run for the 100 coverage.

maybe dig out england getting thrashed by the windies again from the 80s

Good point this, wonder what would happen if there’s a long rain delay and it started to run in to there prime time tv schedule

This is the test. When the 100 comes around, will it over run into university challenge

 

[Wayne The Punk]

With my TV package cough, cough, I will be able to get it

 

[Scotty 1978]

It’s on sky as well, they’ve got it in ultra HD so I’ll probably stick with sky

It’s 2020 not 1992! The BBC will be brilliant for boosting the game.
