It’s not Super Sport is it? It’s CSA produced?
Partially at least. We do this for international feeds so not surprising.

Well no, he’s calling for SuperSport? Much like Taylor on Nine for the Ashes.
This is not the flex you think it sounds like Fox.

Who’s on the team besides Mark Howard, i’m guessing a South African ball by ball person and maybe a few Aussies and maybe an SA or two color guy.

Simon Katich…an Australian? 
First “cross” to Howie is a SuperSport interview clip.
Second instance is a pitch report with Pollock, with Fox mics. However, featured SS graphics…

Should be on SuperSport hopefully then at some point!
Interesting to see GWM presenting sponsor of Fox’s coverage.
Healy incorrectly referring to the wicket as drop in - they’re very clear to say they are not that.

This has happened before. I’m pretty sure its only on Kayo but for some reason they put Fox sports 522 on it.

No score graphics for the first two-and-a-bit overs. Weird.
