Fox Cricket

Agree. There’s some very strange scheduling this season.

There’s a game in Melbourne on Monday January 10 at 2:10pm yet they didn’t feel compelled to have one during the day on an actual public holiday this coming Monday January 3rd.

Yeah unfortunately it’ll mean I won’t be able to attend as I’ll be working. My first stars home match in our history I would miss

That’s an effort and a half. Every MCG Stars home game since 2011? Good work.

Yep that’s correct. Including trips to Moe when we played games there. Didn’t include last years those when they weren’t in Victoria due to COVID.

I’ve also traveled to every Grand Final Mens and Womens we have participated in.

Tonight’s Big Bash match between Perth Scorchers and Melbourne Stars has been postponed.

Fox Cricket can confirm the match will not go ahead after News Corp reported there was a positive test in the Stars coaching staff.

Fox Cricket will still go to air at 6:30pm EDT for a live panel show.

Fox have moved the India/ZA test to 501 from 503

South Africa’s ISO 3166 country code is ZA (derived from its former Dutch name Zuid-Afrikaanse) , although more usually with cricket RSA is used.

Which I believe stands for “Republic of South Africa”.

That always confused me as a kid watching cricket seeing “RSA”, naturally I thought it was “Russia”. Clearly they don’t field a national cricket team though!

Binga calling tonight’s BBL game (from a studio in Sydney) at the Adelaide Oval, with KoK and Hadds on special comments.

How often do fox call from the ground in the bbl?
Doesn’t seem all too often.

Basically never these days. It’s pretty much all a cost-saving thing. It was always going to happen. Nothing to do with covid.

I would say only if it is at Marvel, MCG, SCG, or Giants…

What I hate is that they pretend they are at the ground by saying “It is a great day here at Blundstone Arena or here in Perth etc”

And BJ just did it again “On behalf of everyone here at Coffs Harbour thank you” GRRR

Every one except the actual comantators :joy::rofl:

They actually were at Coffs Harbour tonight though…

Are you sure about that?

Channel 7 barely ever seem to be there either.

I thought that with the poorer audio quality and the fact BJ kept saying here at Coffs but I thought surely not.
