Ch 9 had 5-10 years to revitalise its coverage and commentary.

The old boys club was nauseating. The I'm the funniest man in the room banter was tripe. No one was reined in. The axe grinding pathetic.

On their day most could analyse the game and had anecdotes BUT...and a huge BUT...it became Hey Hey It's The Cricket. And ch 9 have feasted on this in RL and cricket coverage.

People want a good mix of anslysis, colour and commentary. And experience and independence.

Fox to a degree have got the mixes right. I personally want a bit more Border and another kiwi. Vaughan and Guha and Howie are good independents.

Gilly, Hussey never seemed to douchebag when they played. I can live with Waugh and Warne if that's it. I actually like BJ and Border's input.

I avoid ch 7.

Labs gets out in such innocuous ways, always a sign of a quality batsman. Lara and Steve Waugh found strange ways to get out too.

Fair call all that

I think for many anyway, Warne is the main issue with Fox commentary

I love Vaughn in the commentary. I don't mind Howie, he has come a long way from when he started

Shame we cant get someone like Bumble here more often
