Why did Cricket Australia schedule the JLT Cup final on a weekday? Very few people will be going to the game. It should be on the weekend of October 13-14. ---

Guessing that the watermark will only feature the first half of the logo (excluding the ball) to avoid it being too lengthy with the full logo being used everywhere else (eg; promos) ---

Appointing Healy (Ian) is a rare mis-step. Funny that it seems he won’t be doing men’s internationals though. ---

I think the CA Live Pass will continue to be available, because you will need it for not only live streaming of all Australian international matches, JLT Cup, BBL and WBBL, but also radio commentary of selected matches from ABC and Crocmedia. ---

The radio commentary streaming is separate to the Live Pass - you only need to register for an account to access it rather than having to buy a subscription ---

At least Foxtel viewers won’t have to suffer his lame and cringe Dad jokes during rain delays at internationals “ah, yes Mark, pretty soggy here, you can see they’ve got this device called a cover, doing it’s job, eh hehe haha now remember when I was the leader in this statistic back in my day, yes.
