Ian Bishop doing BBL for 7? View attachment 1571740

Looks like Bishop will be part of 7’s BBL

 

[Nuggetz]

A bit of a teary eye but nice montage to the great Shane Warne & Andrew Symonds

 

[new0066]

He's a good ball by ball caller in 20 over cricket but I doubt that's where 7 will utilise him.

Yeah, looks like he is going to be the ‘expert commentator’ rather than pbp - looking at tonight’s game

Fox at Adelaide Oval calling the BBL while 7 is at their Melbourne Studio

 

[PhatBoy]

Ian Bishop is well known for his "remember the name" call when the West Indies won the 2016 World T20 but I also liked his measured call when the West indies won the final of the 2012 World T20. He's a good ball by ball caller in 20 over cricket but I doubt that's where 7 will utilise him.

Bish is a great caller and you can tell watching us play that he still takes a very active interest in WI domestic cricket - I don’t mind Curtley when he calls the home series’ but you get the impression he doesn’t follow their local cricket very closely

 

[new0066]

All reports suggests that 7 & Fox have won the CA broadcast rights. Everything is basically the same with 7 getting streaming & BBL shortening back to 40 regular season games

Channel 7 will be looking like a good option in future years

****ing lol

Warner is a terrible speaker

 

[CakeEater]

Warner signs for fox after hes done.

Why didnt Paramount get the rights if this is the dross fox are dishing up.

Surely they know we dont love him like we liked Warney

 

[SportsCentre]

We're all going to like the new, reinvented David Warner and they'll die trying to prove it.
Warner can barely string a sentence together without slurring or fumbling his words.

Head of Fox proving how out of sync he is.

 

[Plugger35]

I can see Fox pairing up Warner with Candice on their coverage to make the commentary even more unbearable.

 

[eltrain]

should’ve signed him up as a host on Cardoon Network instead of Fox Cricket

 

[Smithdogmaddog]

I wish I didn't hate ads so much because I much prefer 7s commentary team

Watch a bit of both. I enjoyed following the recent Tests by some sessions have it on 7 and others on Kayo/Fox. Actually get more variety of commentators that way.

I don't expect every commentator to be as eloquent as Peter Drury or Dennis Cometti but Dave Warner will need plenty of polish before his commentary career begins.

"special comments" bogan factor?

 

[010203]

Shane Warne suggested to Steve Crawley that Dave Warner had the potential to make a good commentator. I think Nathan Lyon will join Fox when he retires too.

CA aren’t that desperate

It looks like CA wanted Fox involved. Which means they needed a FTA partner so 7,9 or 10. But 10/Paramount wanted everything & not to share with Fox. With 9 getting the Olympics they basically only had 7.

I think that’s why 7 paid like $10mill less than 2018 & got more (streaming & a higher % of BBL) as well.

 

[Tygrys]

I vote for whatever cricket commentary doesn't have Justin Langer. I don't know what it is, the sound of his voice, how he says things or what he says, it's like fingernails on a blackboard. Anyhow I can understand how the players after four years had gutfull of him as coach. Have to turn the tv down every time his shift begins.

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

If he starts talking about his family and how much he loves them I'm done.

 

[Cleavy]

almost expecting Fox to offer the Warners a reality show, any tick of the clock now.

She might get a job on the sidelines with the NRL doing special comments.

DIY with Davey.
