For a while when Ward started presenting I thought he was Nick Knight. Long time since I'd seen him on telly
I don’t mind it. They’ve kept the best ones (Botham, Hussain, Lloyd) and I like Key.
ERB has also really went up in my estimation after her piece yesterday.

Bit harsh. A lot of them can’t travel because of Covid restrictions on them or their family/where they live. This summer will very much be a ‘one off’ so can’t judge just yet for me. I’m just glad there’s cricket!
Hasnt Botham left?

Or Vaughan or Isa Guha.
The Hussain-Key “banter” on the podcasts is horrific.
Have watched on mute so far mind
Michael Vaughan is a colossal bellend these days. Probably, and I don’t say this lightly, worse than Swann

I think the problem is that Botham and Gower were giants of the game for 15 years or so, as players.
Key, Knight and Ward played a lot less tests in their careers and because of that they can 'talk the talk', but didn't 'walk the walk'.
Therefore what they say is more like speculative chit-chat and banter rather than having been there and done it.
They are ok for T20 etc, but not that good for Tests.
However, we have to move on and they are probably a much cheaper option for Sky - something that won't be passed on to the viewers.

Botham offered very little imo and was there for his name only. In his last few years you felt in was just a bit of a chore for him and he was just phoning it in
