So if Ten gets the TV rights for our summer who should they hire

as commentators and the anchor?

Richard Hinds on the comfort of nine pulling the shots despite its shortcomings.

Maybe they could just show the action without commentary.



All you need is microphones to catch the on-field stuff - nicks, the sound of a well-timed shot, appeals, etc.

I didn't realise Nine had commentators.

Oh wait, I switched the sound off.

"No doubt, should Ten win the rights in their entirety - and not merely the Big Bash - it would replicate the best of Nine's commentary recipe. A pinch of Slater, a touch of Taylor, a few drops of Chappell. And, to borrow from his own lexicon, a stupendous, superb, splendiforous spoonful of Mr Maximum, Mark Nicholas."

they should do the opposite of this

Heard rumours that BJ might be on the menu. And Mark Waugh has apparently left or is about to leave Fox.

Roy & HG?

realistically, if Fox don't have any domestic cricket rights then they are not going to stick around just to do Inside Cricket (if that even continues).

Fair point Nath. Guess the only thing left would be studio analyses during international tours assuming that Fox will cover them rather than ten.

Ghostbusters.

Personally, I DGAF which network has the cricket. The way social media is these days, if the commentators don't cut the mustard, the world let's them know pretty quickly and they either improve or get booted.

Are you championing iGen methods of QA?!

Mark Waugh is a lightweight, which virtually guarantees that Ten would hire him.

My advice to them would be to grab Damien Fleming and not let go. Kerry O'Keefe is a terrific analyst but is bested suited to radio. The host; what about Jonathan Agnew?

Fleming, Julian, Chuckles Berry, Gideon Haigh (as MC), Slats, Lawry, Pigeon

Yet another example of skully always championing the worth of social media
