Is fox going to have their own commentary team + graphics for this women’s international matches or take the 7’s commentary with Fox studio coverage for pre game, innings break & post game?

Fox Cricket showing the warm-up game between Australia v Netherland . Looks like the ICC has finally refreshed the graphics. Much better than the last few ODI & T20 World Cups.

For a while earlier there were no score graphics in the PAK v NED game.
FOX had their own score in the top left and cameras kept showing the rickety old scoreboard on the ground every few minutes. So rickety it makes the old one at Adelaide Oval seem state of the art (sorry couldn’t get a cap).

It was unnecessary especially as the commentators were updating the score along with the shots of the old scoreboard. It also looked like the Fox graphic had to be updated manually. It was slow and the score was displayed the wrong way around. It also generated complaints.

Surely was an error from the ICC host broadcast. Nothing to do with Fox.

This one doesn’t have the FOX scoreboard graphic (same as what Sifon posted), but this is the on ground scoreboard cameras pointed to in lieu of the proper on screen one.

That’s the way the rest of the world scores cricket.
(from your X post)
Issue was acknowledged on air here:
Then they gave up and just dropped the graphics completely:
Fox presentation/playout chucked this up:
They were presumably updating based on Google or cricket.com.au
It’s crazy that a World Cup still runs on these boards. I’m amazed that the Indian grounds don’t have electronic LED screens as scoreboards.
And it then came back:
Although presentation kept Fox’s up until just a second after this cap:

You would think BCCI has the money to do it.
Perhaps they think whoever owns the grounds should pay. They obviously don’t want to.
The grounds themselves are also very outdated looking, including the grandstands.
Australia does well to have some of the most modern stadiums in the world, better than most of the ones in England or the USA too.

I’m sure there’s plenty of politics that goes on at state cricket level over there - hard enough managing six states here when they have 38 associations in their Ranji Trophy (their equivalent of the Sheffield Shield) - and I imagine there’s still plenty of lot of haves and have-nots depending on whether they also host an IPL franchise nowadays…
They surely would’ve brought in a big screen for the CWC but it was probably running off the same system as the TV… thus probably reverting back to what they’d normally likely use for four-day cricket.
Fox is a little damned-if-they-do/don’t about which way the score was on their temp graphic… may as well be consistent with the rest of the CWC graphics, but there’s a fair argument that they shouldn’t.

Ive toured a few grounds in the UK. at Lords the your guide specifically said that the reason Lords is so small is twofold.
one is that its in a residential area that restricts the available ground they have, along with apartments in the surrounding area being worth multi million pounds, therefore making it hard to make any sort of noise from construction.
also, Lords is only used for cricket. they do not use it for football or any winter sport, therefore they are restricted in income. Its also heavily heritage restricted - especially the main grandstand with the longroom
it actually really surprised me that one of the most hallowed grounds in cricket has a capacity less than Suncorp Stadium (Lords holds 31,180 - Suncorp Holds 52.500)

After having their own studio commentary for the first 4 games of the Women’s international series, Fox took 7’s broadcast today.
The beginning had Al Nicholson & Holly Ferling interviewing Healy using 7 mics and during the rain break towards the end, it also showed a WBBL promo for 7/7mate with Emma Freedman wearing a 7 sports shirt and saying watch on the screens of 7

They got it right last night
Using a dash instead of slash.
Back to the wrong way tonight
Either way, you’d think this would all be programmed in automatically without having someone manually updating it every night.

Has the world feed been losing the score graphics again?
I can certainly understand FOX not having a contingency in place for that other than manual score graphics like the ones you posted.
It’s not something you expect to have to deal with these days, the host broadcaster needs to do better.
