Foxy bid for cricket rights

Makes you wonder if some of the qunts at CA are working on commission nath.

if this is accurate, then CA are a total bunch of grubs

That's an utter disgrace and shows all and sundry that it's not what's best for Aussie cricket despite Sutherland's proclamations.

So if Foxtel pulls out, and Seven loses interest, given what their attitude to nine, and what they did to ten, it would be ironic, but just if CA was left with nowhere to go.

Makes you hanker for this good old days of nugget and typhoon.

Assuming this is all correct, you can see that lawyers will get involved given that 9 and 10 would have spent millions just on the bidding process which didn't follow normal standards of probity.

I wonder if the Murdoch's being punted from Ch 10 had something to do with it as well.

Ultimately, if there was an all FTA bid for $960m which was rejected then CA have done the game in Australia a great disservice.

that would make sense. $1b deal = bonus. $960m deal = no bonus.

Extra 50mi 10"200 not s bad psyfday

Would be ironic if things returned full Circle to the ABC.

Correct, I think it was a Overseas Tour. (Ashes???)

I think the government may have made that happen.

"Leave it to Peever".

The Freedman account was interesting. The deal is stinking prawns in the hubcaps of CA. he was clearly briefed by CBS/10. The one useful thing the deal has done is to consign Charnel Nein to the bin.

I hope to never hear Healy, Slats, Nicholas again.

Makes sense. Wierd saying that in regards to cricket.

Pourquoi?

Like his ego needs more tlc.

Ponting has now signed on to FTA commentary team.

Seems the Cricket Broadcast shakeup has claimed another victim, with Bill Lawry pulling up Stumps.
Vomit bias aside, light years ahead of the latest lot of commentators.

I think he may have done it out of loyalty.
Class act if that's the case

Vale Bill. Thanks for nearly 40 years stellar commentating service.

His love for the game was always evident. He and Ritchie always provided class.

Fox have signed Mark Waugh, Mel Jones, Mike Hussey, Isa Guha and Michael Vaughan to join Adam Gilchrist, Allan Border and Brendan Julian at the pay-tv network.

What's an "Isa Guha"?
