7Cricket Vs Fox Cricket

[caveman72]

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.

I feel for the person doing subtitles for the hearing impaired

 

[hawkman]

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

Does Steve Smith play the William role as they tell their story that none of his issues were his fault?

Malcolm Conn is a spokesman for Cricket NSW. Anything he says is propaganda.

Versus all those other documentaries they’ve made like ummm, errr, hmmmm….

Warner wasn't all that bad commentating during that BBL game I watched, surprisingly good in fact.

 

[holybishop]

I can see Warner being very outspoken once he retires from international cricket

I have always said that 7’s Test & Women’s coverage has been good and it’s their BBL that’s been lacking.

But after having watched Fox yesterday & today/tonight, how do people put up with them saying “Toyota 6” & “Chemist Warehouse 4” in normal play after every boundary?

i prefer the ads on 7 after every over than hear that after every boundary. Especially in a high scoring games like the last 3 matches

 

[Father Jack]

Yeah, the sponsored stat thing is really giving me the shits. Better than ads after every over, but bloody hell, only just.

Ever listened to footy on the radio?

They've been doing that for decades.

Commercial radio does it because there are commercials on commercial radio. That's why it's called commercial radio.

Fox lures customers on the basis of their self-purported ad-free coverage. The ACCC "watchdog" sound asleep in Rupert's lap yet again.

They advertise it as no ad-breaks, not no ads.

And do so knowing it would likely mislead or deceive customers, i.e. clear sanctionable conduct.

To me, as a customer, no ad-breaks means no ad-breaks.

To think that anyone would be upset about a Toyota Six when we grew up with Schweppes Classic Catches, the Sidchrome Supertest Team and Tony Greg's Weather Wall for Email Air Conditioners is scarcely believable.

Channel 9 didn't mug you for $25 a month (assuming Kayo and not a full Foxtel plan) with its shit sponsor attachments. All you get from the "ad free" BBL coverage is a DJ playing doof music between overs. It's scarcely believable people pay that much when the commentary isn't any better than 7.

Surprisingly Ch 7 has improved, they shut up for 2 overs today and just had the captain on the mic directing the fielders and discussing tactics.

Radio is different because people can’t see the ads, with tv they can have silent ads without needing to say it after every boundary

 

[Father Jack]

Plus with the radio you've generally got the option of the ABC.

I was pretty annoyed at Fox deciding that the opportune moment to do a coach interview in the Scorchers/Renegades match was during the Power Surge. It's not exactly the slower part of the game where you might expect to be able to pad.

most of the interviews/mic'd up players add very little to the coverage. It's more of a 'look at me' moment for the interviewer/commentators.

Unless you have a captain like Khawaja/Finch talking to the bowlers for an over

 

[new0066]

Looks like Fox called yesterdays Stars v Thunder at the MCG from their studio (looked like Melbourne studio)

I don’t understand why they don’t go the ground if they are already in Melbourne

 

[Around the Wicket]

He was treated poorly so I don't blame him.

He was a attack dog for ages, captain and coach failed to pull him up, in fact encouraged it and when shit hit the fan he was thrown under the bus.

 

[new0066]

This is what happens when your calling from a studio in another state



7 did go to Perth

 

[largebus]

Said this before the match. I'm glad I cancelled Kayo until footy season starts.

For AFL they have guys like Adam Papalia, Will Schofield and Pavlich already based here.
Fox commentators always * up mistaking probable catches for sixes because they can't see anything out of the TV shot. You'd think they'd be better than 7 given they charge you for it but embarrassingly they're not.
