Carey 6 Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 It is great that Cricket will be on free to air TV so that it's more accessible to millions. Sky's cricket coverage is brilliant though, I hope C4 can match up to the standard set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 I'd be interested as to whether the Sky guys are actually employed by sky so to say or are freelance who Sky bring in like with football you have Micah Richards appearing on BBC and Sky. If that's the case they could just work for C4 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However Roy Keane has done stuff for ITV and Sky so maybe not so much these days. Michelle Owen also seems to work for Sky & BBC now. Personally happy with most of the BBC/C5 team if they leave Boycott & Vaughan out. Hope Simon Hughes is back.. for all the tech that Sky use, lets not forget that C4 pioneered a lot of it in the early 2000's when they had the rights. If I recall correctly, Mark Nicholas was fronting C4's coverage back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Have we got TMS or is that affected too? I can`t see anything on the BBC website or the 5live extra schedules so it`s not looking promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 2 hours ago, Super said: Really poor that by Burns There's an argument to say that he caused both wickets to fall by Lawrence having to come in to that extra pressure before lunch. Just a really bad decision when there was no need to force the pace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 England doing pretty well now. Only two down on a dead wicket. Good opportunity to amass a decent score. Loving the Indian commentators - such gorgeous accents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
