Aye will be a stat fest between BM and Skully here.

Overall the line up is miles better than the dotards at Nein, even with the lamentable Slats.

If they dont treat Slats as the village idiot (which he appears to be) he may say something worthwhile

First look at the new Foxtel Cricket Channel - seen an hour of highlights of Oz v Bannies Addledville Jan 92 (both teams routed 1st inns, tons to Tubby Boonie & near-ton AB in 2nd, India need 360 & fall 30-odd short, half their score contributed by the Dodgey Brothers Azhar & Prabakar, Billy McD wickets in both inns, Warnie in 2nd Test no wickets but takes last catch), now looking at SCG Jan 2008 also v India which a few may recall.....the anchor for these highlights packages is a guy called Mark Howard, who could easily be Glenn McGrath's stunt double (hopefully that isn't his sole qualification for the gig)

by JGK Tue 18 Sep 2018, 08:42

Mark Howard has been calling BBL for Ch 10 for the last few years.

Not that I could give a flying, but isn't all local international cricket supposed to be "live and commercial free during play (WTF that means)" on 7

From memory a total of 10 games (JAMODIs/BB) are pay walled by Rupert.
