Least Julian generally just tries to host the thing. Agree as a commentator though

Julian is easy on the eye and is a solid host. Much prefer him to Brayshaw hosting 7’s coverage.

I actually like the Fox coverage.
It's no Bill and Tony but I don't mind the shit talking when it's at a background level with some occasional insight thrown in.
Channel 7 is all Slats and JB yelling as loud as they can with Heals dribbling shit non-stop while he's in the box. It's unceasing.

A lot of people on here probably pass themselves off as experts.
How many tests for Australia have they played?

I thought the commentary for this game was really good.
Only person I can't really stand is Mark Waugh.

Not a bad way to start the summer and good to get a win. I do however prefer pitches that 250 is a par score and a more even contest between bat and ball.

That would have rated it's **** off on free to air and anticipation for Sunday would be about ten times what it actually will be. This will go down as one of worst broadcast deals ever, the broadcaster hates it, the fans hate it, and CA is as useless as ever and will wonder why participation numbers are dropping.

is game 2 being played on the same pitch? could be why it was so flat?

Heals works for Fox.
It's particularly baffling when CA would have seen what has happened in England with them putting all their cricket on pay tv, and the consequences of that, and they've gone and done exactly the same thing.
Why the **** are we still picking Stoinis? Has he played an innings of note since Eden Park nearly 4 years ago? Mitch Marsh with a broken ankle would still be better than that plodder, one of the most overated cricketers I have seen in my life.

Participation increased by 3.8% last season.
Still fudging the numbers by including primary school sporting programs that aren't voluntary then?

CA don't care about the fans, they only care about the money.

No, I'm talking about the players registered in competitions number that's at around 700,000. Not the inflated figure that's closer to 2 million.

He doesn’t now, haven’t heard him on Fox for ages.
I mean, in the end it's a business, and the people who work their have the primary focus on their jobs and making the most money for CA, and the future of the game get's left behind, sad fact but it's true.

The other take is that they are corrupt pigs with their snouts deep in the trough - that is provided by Pay TV and gambling interests - and have abrogated one of their primary functions in promoting and proliferating the game.
such a kick in the guts isn’t it.
Anyone who has had involvement with boards, executive remuneration or corporate finance will tell you that KPIs for key individuals should be tied to both short term business performance and long term viability (ideally weighted towards the latter).
This is what doesn’t make sense to me about the CA deal. It’s obvious that clearing the $1b threshold had an overweighted effect on bonuses. Ultimately CA is not a for-profit business, so its board should be far more cognisant of matching executive KPIs with the long term health of the game as opposed to short term windfalls.

Yet he was not in evidence last night was he.
Yes, I'm not sure I'd label Stokes as overrated. He's world class.
