Besides this new ICC event contract, still quite a bit of worldwide cricket on there right?

Kayo is genuinely great for world cricket rights and I say this as someone that regrets every single payment to them.

foxtel use to have the EPL which I think they lost to Optus Sport and they also use to have the NFL which I don’t think they have now either.

Kayo have rights to the TNF, SNF , MNF and from memory the Sunday afternoon, Sunday twilight game every week.

Yep Im aware how how they have distributed the games to Optus now.

I am a Big Bash fan, but if your charging $35/month for Kayo and you werent and NRL and/or AFL Fan, you'd be having 2nd choices whether to sign up or not.

It looks like they are taking the covers off again so it must have stopped raining.

need to see a doppler

am glad we have Prime, which we hardly use - I just use my subscription for free deliveries

Yeah, I already had my prime for the free deliveries.

Crap coverage, you think they could have some commentators talking shit over just showing us footage of the event organisers walking around with no idea what to do

 

[FreoGirl]

Yeah, I already had my prime for the free deliveries.

I also like watching Catfish, but there's not much else on there worth watching

 

[Around the Wicket]

Now the Please stay Tuned… Lazy by the team, should be using this time to talk the tournament up.

So while waiting for the rain delay, been looking at some recent Indian performances across World Cup formats. **** me it's bad even though I knew it was bad.

Say what you want about Kayo/Fox but they atleast do better than this with rain delays

Amazon can't afford to pay someone to talk during a rain delay? Or at the very least chuck an old game on (guess they have no rights?)


Atleast they aren't just running constant adverts I guess? Lol

The T20 format is a bit of a lucky dip, almost a different winner every time and Australia absolutely dominated the ODI World Cups haha

they could have played better "it's raining" music

Yeah t20 is too short to be able to really show the best team on most days - albeit this is getting better, it's clearly still the case when you at this years results.

The only shining light when theres a rain delay in Aussie cricket is the rain platlist.

Booney walking out in a suit next to the umpires as though he has the keys to the briefcase is never not funny.

Steve Smith on commentary on the ICC stream (guessing Amazon gets the same?) - he does have a good commentary voice but will struggle to fake the emotion on the BBL broadcasts to get a job there.

Would love him (when retirement comes) on Test/ODIs though I fear he may fall into the "well I would do this" trap that Waugh, Warne and many other former players fall for.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Pakistan would be scary to face in the finals / super 8s

 

[Moonwatcher]

Indian crowd had me thinking that was a 4

 

[Moonwatcher]

Now that was beautiful

You'd think how well they get paid these days they wouldn't have to go into commentary post playing days.

He hit it

Inside edge. I had my finger up from my bed in Adelaide

To be fair to Smudge, the man is a cricket nuffie. He has some awful opinions lol, he's perfect for comentary at least for the slower game.
