If and one is interested, BT Sport will be showing some classic cricket this evening - Australia v South Africa 1994. 2nd test match and the three Finals of the one day competition.

Your life is cricket. Your twitter shows that. Nothing else matters in your life and therefore you cannot handle it when anybody dare come up with, a perfectly reasonable, reason why cricket may not be the most important thing in the world.
I shall now do what I should have done long ago and block you. You are a prime example of a first world problems man. Although blocking someone before giving them the right to reply rather confirms who the petulant child here is Darren. Onto the issue, I think its fairly reasonable to discuss an issue many of us have (and talking of twitter there's many on there saying the same as me) with Sky's coverage on a thread that is primarily about Sky's cricket coverage. |

Xenophobic? Why don't you use words you can understand.
Xenophobia would be something like, oh I don't know, describing a nation as 'backward' for daring to celebrate a victory in a cricket match. |

The issue is you thinking cricket is more deserving of airtime than NFL because it's English. The selfishness aspect stems from you thinking Sky should cut off a game that people may have been watching for around 4 hours just because you personally prefer cricket to NFL. |

Highlights on for 45 minutes followed by Football Rivalries
Interesting that the co commentator today was Simon Hughes, that's 4 different people with Ed Smith in 5 days, with Yosser getting the glory day, and being able to disappear early to go home and get some sleep

Absolutely. Judio's post isn't xenophobic.

Are Ed Smith and Simon Hughes ( as well as Vaughan ) going to India for TMS ?
BT sport probably paying way more money that BBC offered considering it is very odd for bbc 2nd main summeriser not going to the major tour of the winter. not really sure what the line up will be now. at a guess maybe Agnew, Prakash Wakankar, Simon Mann, Gavaskar, Boycott and one other person. BBC lost two certain travellers in Swann and Vaughan, although they probably the two weakest members of the crew alongside Phil Tufnell. BT sports must be paying some serious money to persuade Vaughan, Swann to miss the india tour. |

TMS also seem to rotate their team on the bigger tours with a few commentators just flying out for a couple of tests at a time. Vaughan is quite prominent across the BBC Radio network and I'd expect him to be involved. |

Not necessarily live commentary though. They could still dub it on afterwards. I am guessing they are in so early so they can actually watch the action.

Are you 100% sure of this? Vaughan said on Twitter that he'd also signed a new deal with TMS and BT wouldn't get in the way.

Vaughan is quite prominent across the BBC Radio network and I'd expect him to be involved. Suppose it depends if he covers all the South Africa vs Australia series but the tweet you mention suggest he only covering one South Africa vs Australia test, all pakistan vs Aus test, Big bash + Ashes which funny enough doesn't clash with the india series. Swann normally does one winter tour each year. Think TMS mostly rotate in the summer in winter they tend to send two different teams although the major test series get the A team with only the ODIs and the lesser tour getting rotated. would find it surprising if the likes of Isha Guha, ebony rainford brent, Dan Norcross, Charles Dagnall etc worked on it. |

Not sure to be honest Josh. I reckon Nasser and Athers will be there but not sure on Key and Knight. India provide many host broadcast commentators where as Bangladesh dont ( hence they used John Kent and Dominic Cork )
