coverage has been good, they are probably using strauss more in the analysis, prefer hussain and Atherton, both these guys loves watching cricket, it shows in their knowledge, you can tell both guys watch cricket matches other than england, since they mention other cricketer, they have seen during the week or recent times.
gladly they haven't used botham in the analysis, especially since he doesn't really know much and he doesn't really give much credit to the opposition.
the great thing is that only Hussain, Strauss, Atherton are using the Sky Ashes Zone, Crap name.
why doesn't sky use Holding more for the analysis, especially for the bowling, he really know what he is talking about, Hussain, Atherton and Strauss don't know much about bowling, the analysis is usually all set about the batting and not bowling.
