    Saturday 26th July - Radio Sport (New Zealand)

    Dean Butler presented The End Zone

    Rugby Union: Super 15 Semi-Finals
    (Canterbury) Crusaders v (Natal) Sharks - Rocky Roberts and Warwick Taylor, with Tracey Nelson providing statistics and Jarrod Ross at pitchside (7.35pm NZST commentary)
    New South Wales Waratahs v ACT Brumbies - as ABC Local Radio (9.30pm NZST commentary, joined in-progress after 13 minutes)

    Commonwealth Games: Glasgow 2014
    Games updates - Malcolm Jordan (at the Lawn Bowls)
    Men's Hockey: New Zealand v Trinidad & Tobago - Daniel McHardy (Radio Sport Extra commentary)
    Men's Rugby Sevens: New Zealand v Canada - Nigel Yalden (9.30pm NZST commentary)
    Women's Track Cycling - Brian Ashby (Radio Sport Extra/11.30pm NZST commentary)


    ABC Local Radio (Australia - New South Wales & Queensland)

    Julian Abbott presented ABC Grandstand

    Rugby Union: Super 15 Semi-Final
    New South Wales Waratahs v ACT Brumbies - Jim Maxwell and Ross Reynolds, with John Morrison at pitchside (7.30pm AEST commentary)

    Rugby League: National Rugby League
    Penrith Panthers v Cronulla Sharks - Brad Cooke and George Rose, with Shannon Byrne at pitchside (3pm AEST commentary)
    Gold Coast Titans v Paramatta Eels - Zane Bojack and Clinton Schifcofske, with Brad Tallon at pitchside (5.30pm AEST commentary)
    Canterbury Bulldogs v North Queensland Cowboys - Richard Svenson and Matt Head, with Julian Daw at pitchside (7.30pm AEST commentary on the ABC app)

    Commonwealth Games: Glasgow 2014
    Netball: Australia v England - Peter Walsh (ABC app commentary)

    At the start of the Crusaders v Sharks Super 15 Semi-Final commentary on Radio Sport, Rocky Roberts welcomed listeners in Australia and South Africa. Given that ABC Grandstand has commentary rights to the Australian Super 15 franchises, I'm guessing the commentary from Christchurch was being streamed on the ABC app. But I'm not sure which South African station will have simulcast their commentary. I don't know much about sports radio in that part of the world, other than that SABC's Radio 2000 covers the South Africa international cricket team (indeed they were broadcasting commentary on the Proteas' Test match v Sri Lanka at the time) and that UTV Radio are preparing to launch a 24-hour South African national sports radio station called talkSPORT 540AM next year.

    Saturday 2nd August - ABC Local Radio (Australia)

    Julian Abbott presented ABC Grandstand

    Rugby Union: Super 15 Final
    New South Wales Waratahs v (Canterbury) Crusaders - Jim Maxwell and Ross Reynolds, with John Morrison at pitchside (7.40pm AEST commentary)

    In New Zealand, Radio Sport simulcast ABC Local Radio's commentary on the Super 15 Final during The End Zone with Dean Butler. They also simulcast parts of the ABC Local Radio commentary on the earlier NRL game between North Queensland Cowboys v Gold Coast Titans - I'm afraid I don't know who made up their commentary team - as well as providing their own commentary and updates from the Commonwealth Games. In Glasgow, Malcolm Jordan and Rikki Swannell covered the New Zealand v England netball semi-final, Daniel McHardy is commentating on the New Zealand v India men's hockey semi-final and Brian Ashby is at the diving.

    On Radio Sport NZ, Rikki Swannell is in Glasgow and Malcolm Jordan maybe, but Daniel McHardy, Brian Ashby and Nigel Yaldon are all working off tube in Auckland.

    Saturday 5th to Sunday 27th July

    Cycling: Tour de France
    Stages 1 to 21 - Lisa O'Sullivan

    Additionally, Warren Haughton conducted interviews with the fans at roadside near Buckingham Palace during Monday 7th July's third stage of the Tour between Cambridge and London. Lisa O'Sullivan also reported on the women's road race La Course, which took place on the Champs Elysees before the final stage of the Tour, during her updates on Sunday 27th July.

    Wednesday 9th to Sunday 13th July

    Cricket: First Test Match

    Saturday 19th to Sunday 27th July

    Darts: PDC World Matchplay 2014
    Winter Gardens, Blackpool - Dan Dawson

    I could be wrong, but I don't think Dan filed live updates on many of the weekend evening sessions from the World Matchplay (including the final) due to them taking place while pre-recorded programmes were airing on the station.

    Sunday 20th July

    Formula 1: German Grand Prix
    Hockenheimring - Geoff Peters

    Wednesday 23rd July to Sunday 3rd August

    Commonwealth Games: Glasgow 2014

    Sunday 27th July

    Formula 1: Hungarian Grand Prix
    Hungaroring - Ian Danter

    Sunday 27th to Thursday 31st July

    Cricket: Third Test Match
    England v India - Jon Norman, with Jack Bannister providing end-of-session summaries

    Saturday 2nd August

    Cricket: T20 Blast Quarter-Final
    Surrey v Worcestershire - Russell Hargreaves

    Sunday 3rd August

    Cricket: T20 Blast Quarter-Final
    Nottinghamshire v Hampshire - Clive Edwards

    *talkSPORT's updates from the Commonwealth Games chiefly consisted of studio-based round-ups on all of the ongoing action from dedicated reporters (separate from the news and sports bulletin newsreaders) either once or twice an hour at around quarter past and/or quarter to the hour while events were taking place (they didn't carry updates on either the opening or closing ceremonies). Typically two reporters would be on duty per day, one doing the 9am-4pm shift and the other doing 4pm-11pm, although Kate Partridge covered the whole of Wednesday and Lynsey Hooper covered all of the final day's events. Kate and Lynsey were responsible for doing the vast majority of the weekday updates.

    Additionally, Michael Weadock was on-site in Glasgow throughout the Games conducting interviews from the venues with participants from all of the home nations. He was also providing interviews and updates for Radio Yorkshire, while from his Twitter timeline I note that John Cushing (the former presenter of Scores on LBC) was reporting on Glasgow 2014 for Global Radio's network of stations. In one other bit of Commonwealth Games news, talkSPORT's North-East correspondent Graham Courtney was the media manager at the Barry Buddon Shooting Centre in Carnoustie, which staged the shooting events at Glasgow 2014.

    Finally, for posterity talkSPORT were planning to provide commentary on the scheduled Derek Chisora v Tyson Fury WBO World Heavyweight Championship title eliminator boxing contest on Saturday 26th July before Chisora withdrew. Colin Murray was due to present alongside Gareth A Davies, with Dave Farrar and Steve Collins listed as their commentary team. With the originally scheduled main event being cancelled, talkSPORT didn't carry updates on the rest of the card from Manchester's Phones 4U Arena as it turned out.

    Golf: The US PGA Championship
    Valhalla Golf Club, Louisville, Kentucky - Iain Carter, Conor McNamara and Jay Townsend (commentary)

    Commentary on the first three rounds was on 5LSE with updates on 5 Live, with live coverage of the final round being broadcast on 5 Live on Sunday night from 8pm. I listened last night right through until the end of the coverage at 2am and want to congratulate the 5 Live trio on the excellent job they did of bring over the tension of one of the most exciting finishes to a major I can recall over the past few years. Well done to all involved.

    As ever for the three US golf majors, Bob Bubka was in Valhalla to provide regular live updates on talkSPORT.

    BBC Test Match Special- India v. England, The Test Series (5 match series)

    Commentators: Jonathan Agnew, Simon Mann (1, 4 & 5), Prakash Wakankar (2-4), Ed Smith (2 & 3, 5), Henry Blofeld (1 & 2), Charles Dagnall (3) and Alison Mitchell (4)

    Summarisers: Geoffrey Boycott, Michael Vaughan, Phil Tufnell, (1-3, 5), Rahul Dravid (1-3), Vic Marks (3-4) , Graeme Swann (1 & 2) and Sunil Gavaskar (4 & 5)

    Mitchell and Dagnall got well deserved full TMS debuts and were excellent, hopefully they'll feature in the ashes next summer! Andrew Samson also replaced Malcolm Ashton as the scorer (though ashtray will be back for the ODIs) apparently due to a dispute over expenses. Henry Blofeld made no appearance after the second test because he went up to the Edinburgh fringe to perform his show with ex producer Peter Baxter, whilst Graeme Swann went out to the CPL for BT Sport which may explain why he didn't appear after the second test either and Dravid went back to India after Southampton. A strong summer, though I did think the use of five summarisers for the first three games did mean some voices were heard little and that it was OTT.
