Nick Knight, is part of the CB40 coverage from Hove, so chances of him being at the Test Match fairly silm
What is awful is no doubt in some quarters it will be reported that Sky have dropped him because of the incident. Which of course is not the case.

It's certainly got people talking. Including Jonathan Agnew on Twitter earlier.

My understanding is that Shane Warne is doing Trent Bridge, and then Knight will be back on duty at Edgbaston. Knight is yet to feature during a 'main' series of the summer so we'll have a South African (prob Shaun Pollock) and probably more Warne (he said on Twitter he is doing 'plenty' for Sky this summer).

First time i've seen a bit of cricket for a while, Sky's new Scorebar at the bottom is DREADFUL!! It's like these countries broadcasters have a competition on how many lines they need and how far up the screen the bar has to be!

it is better then most countries/host broadcaster graphics, in a whole Sky coverage is the best around, but i would prefer having two touring commentators than one, but it is better than none like Channel nine.

I like the sky coverage, (except Gower), just graphics looked hideous.

Not watched any of Sky's cricket this season cos I'm pretty busy with work, so what have their lunch time programmes been? I presume the Saturday Story won't start until South Africa come over, and there is something on Sky Go about the Lions which I'm guessing is one of the programmes, but has their been a Moments in Time or anything like that?

Didn't see much lunchtime stuff during the first Test, but the Lions thing which you mention is the 'Finishing School', which has aired on both Saturdays so far

Yesterday they had a feature with a few England players playing golf with Charl Schwartzel, although that was a shorter feature with some analysis for the first part of the lunch break

There was a feature during the Lords test on Alec Stewart. It gave the feeling it was part of the series. It just basically documented Stewart's career with Ward asking him questions.

Leinster V Ospreys (RaboDirect Pro12 RU Final)

S4C - Gareth Roberts hosting from the RDS Arena with Dafydd Jones and Garan Evans (who were all wearing similar Striped shirts, so thank god analogue still isn't around ) Commentary from Huw Llewellyn Davies and Dr. Gwyn Jones (also pre-match Interviewer), with Dot Davies pitchside reporter.

We did also get to see Dot interviewing Mike Ruddock near an Ice Cream Van, which is nice.

Anyone know who's doing the Serena Williams match on itv4? I don't recognise either voice, sounds like the world feed? The blokes an Aussie i think. Mullins and courier did Murray - Ito.
