Have they moved solely to three commentators for the tests now in New Zealand then? For a couple of seasons they had three, but the third was like a 'Third Man' style analyst in the box

Are the home tests in New Zealand shown on FTA tele?

This is just a minor cosmetic point but the NZ cricket graphics don't half look old fashioned compared to those used in other countries - and having the bar with the batsmen's scores pop up after every ball just seems unnecessary.
Is NZ the only remaining country that still uses a scorebox in the corner rather than the strap across the bottom of the screen? |

I love the scorebar on the top left, Al la Channel 4 cricket looking... Far better.
I'm not a fan of them having the batsman's scores on a bar at the bottom as well though, for me it clutters up the screen too much |

I'm sure it's a comparitive nightmare for the TV companies, but hats off to NZC for selecting proper cricket grounds with intimate atmospheres instead of subjecting the players to playing in empty cavernous stadia. University Oval looks a picture and the Basin Reserve is the prettiest cricket ground in the world, bar none. Can't wait for that one. Makes for some great shots between the action.

Until the 3rd Test at Eden Park which is a massive stadium that will barely be 15% full.

Looks like no Bruce Cricthley again at what would be deemed a major golf event for Sky. Wonder if he has been axed, rested or just unwell?

Presenter: John Inverdale with Martyn Williams & Andy Nicol Commentators: Andrew Cotter, Jonathan Davies & Chris Paterson Pitchside: Jill Douglas The best moment of S4Cs coverage came from the fans after the game, as there was a cameraman positioned somewhere outside, where after the game finished you'd see the crowd storming towards you and not seeing the camera there until the last possible moment! |

Shocking mis-identification of he injured Ireland player by the BBC. For he last 10 minutes they are saying Ian Madigan was stretched off when it was. Actually it was Eoin Reddin. Still no correction by the BBC of he mistake.

On all possible platforms:- Freeview, Freesat, Sky Digital and Virgin Media. Watching it online through their 'Clic' service will mean you could only watch it in Welsh.

According to Sky Sports Twitter,
Ian Ward, Alec Stewart and Paul Collingwood will be in the studio with Botham, Lloyd, Atherton, Knight and Willis on commentary plus ''various New Zealand commentators" but he's not presenting or commentating and we have to make do with Nick Shyte.http://www1.skysports.com/watch/vide...good-night-out Sky really do make some awful choices like Nick Halling main boxing commentator over the vastly superior Adam Smith. And the biggest clanger of the lot picking Rob Hawthorne instead of Martin Tyler for Champions League Final in 2005 |

Assuming these haven't been done:
Eurosport's coverage of Paris-Nice: all stages by David Harmon and Sean Kelly. Eurosport's coverage of Tirreno-Adriatico: Stages 1&2: Rob Hatch and Magnus Backstedt Stage 3: Anthony McCrossan and Brian Smith Stage 4: Anthony McCrossan and Magnus Backstedt I believe Sky are also showing Tirreno and while I haven't heard it, I assume it's the international broadcast with Carlton Kirby and Dan Lloyd, the former was plugging it yesterday on Twitter. |

Steve Schlanger and Paul Sherwen are doing Paris-Nice for NBC Sports Network in the States. |
