Greg presumably taking a couple of months off from Radio 1 to go out there too? Or maybe he'll do his R1 show live from Aus. BT couldn't buy that kind of indirect promo.

In your scenario, The BBC paying to hire a radio studio on the other side of the world for 2 months whilst a guy is working his other job is going to go down well with the Daily Mail isn't it!

Interesting to see Flintoff has jumped ship so to speak to host a Channel 9 show...suspect that means he'll be doing some cricket stuff for them too. He's not going to be working for channel 10 and the big bash stuff

If he's freelance, which very much suspect he is, then he will likely appear on Big Bash comms.

BT Sport look a bit short of lead commentators from that list so I can see one of Nine's doubling up and KP doing the same. Hopefully Mark Taylor. |

It appears BT have sub-licenced some of it's Big Bash rights to Channel 5. C5 will show 5 live games starting of with Hobart Hurricanes V Melbourne Stars.

Also, are the games exclusive to C5 or will BT also show them? |

Sky are making Tim Abrahams redundant according to Charlie Sale. Real shame. Thought he did a great job on sky sports news.

And I hate it when people make comparisons like that, as if me affects the other but they do in this case imo |

quite funny how Sale still talks about the poor cricket ratings even when Sky ratings were lower for Australia games lol. "They add that their rivals' Australia v West Indies coverage this time last year averaged 9,000 viewers — worse than the 12,000 average for Australia's first Test against South Africa on BT." |

The article seems to imply that they're going to get their presenters and pundits to basically fill in with reports between Tests but there's a rather different skill involved in general reporting compared to the duties they currently do. |

Wasn't really much of a surprise since in the last 12 months Rob Key and Mark butcher have both done roles which in the past Tim abraham would do, the only role which the pundits would struggle with is the press questions although in cricket they may just use Atherton.
