All a matter of opinions, but for me Boycott is still one of the best broadcasters in the sport. Even at 76 his enthusiasm for sport is infectious and it always seems as though it is a pleasure for him to be working on tours - not a right or a holiday - particularly for the BBC.

He also went on at length England having two wicketkeepers in the side in the 1976-7 tour of India - one in which he did not participate in.
Henry Blofeld though now seems a shadow of the commentator he used to be; his delivery is now so slow, awkward and hesitant, especially when identifying players. I found it quite shocking as it seems quite a sudden deterioration. |

Blofeld is shite, and has been for years so cannot agree its a sudden deterioration... as for the 76-7 tour of India my all time hero scored his final century for England on that tour but within 7 months had been dropped for the return of Sir Geoffrey... |

I can remember watching him in the late 1970s reporting on a game from Grace Road in those days for the sports report on Radio 2. He'd go into a small booth on the top of the members pavilion every half an hour for a few minutes but spend the rest of the time outside on a deck chair drinking steadily through a bottle of wine. Good work I suppose if you can get it. |

Well either I haven't listened to him properly for years or he was really bad that day. Have to say he was never a favourite of mine.

Ashes schedule announced. With a confirmed D/N test match. BT will be very happy with that. |

I notice that the t20 tri series is being held in Australia and New Zealand does this mean that half of the t20 series will be on Sky as they have the rights to cricket in New Zealand?

I guess all matches played in New Zealand will be on Sky as they have the rights until 2020.

I'd be surprised if that happens. Surely it all comes under the Cricket Australia broadcast deal?

Why is the venue for the Perth test match "to be confirmed"? Surely its at the WACA given the new stadium isnt scheduled to open until three months afterwards?

Suppose it wont be a bad event to officially open the stadium. Cant exactly start selling tickets for it until they know for sure, though.

Yeah it’ll all be shown by the broadcaster of whoever the host board is. Given the press release, it looks to be Cricket Australia, so it’ll be on BT here. I’d be astonished if it was split between BT and Sky, as that process would mean it is split across Nine and Fox Sports in Australia, which is bizarre.

I think cricket got a total of 30 seconds on BBC sports personality of the year. Has to be an all time low.

No it had more than most years actually...even the county championship got a clip shown!!
Boxing day will have the south africa test, aussie test and TWO channels showing the big bash. How many times have 4 different broadcasters been showing cricket at the same time?! |

The Times reporting that Mark Pougatch will host Big Bash on C5.
He will be joined by guests including Michael Vaughan, James Anderson and Michael Carberry. |
