What is the big deal in having host broadcaster mics broadcast in other countries? Not like they are a competitor.

It happened again at the loss of the second wicket and this time we got the full countdown.
Sky switched to Fox at the end before going back to 7 a short time later.

I think the wicket timer is only for international broadcast since I haven’t seen it before on 7’s broadcast

I’ve never seen it before tonight and it definitely wasn’t meant to be full screen - my best guess is maybe it’s provided for the third umpire and perhaps the commentators on an internal feed but it accidentally got sent out on the world feed?

7 having issues with their score bug for the 2nd innings today. They have a make shift ‘7cricket score’ on the top left corner.
I wonder if the international feeds have changed to the Fox broadcast or keeping 7’s ‘host feed’

Sky NZ switched five overs in…they weren’t being supplied the makeshift score.

Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen will commentate the Super Bowl for Fox in the US next month with the former having experience calling a Super Bowl with Charles Davis in the NFL Network’s World Feed broadcast outside the US.

Smart move.

There’d be reasons why it’d be shown in a similar respect to the DRS timer in this year’s Big Bash.
They reduced the time permitted between wickets to 75 seconds from the usual 90 - but instead of timing the batter out, the bowler instead gets a free bowl at the unattended stumps on the next delivery (which counts as a valid dot ball if it misses, unless it’s a no-ball).
Yes, it’s just an attempt at engineered “excitement” as to be out “timed out” is not a good look for the game (IMO, not a great attempt). No, it’s not meant to be at full screen like that!
Oh yeah, I definitely know why it exists but just a mixing error to make it full screen for the international feed I suspect! Pretty funny.
The Big Bash international feeds seem to have a lot of occasional stuff like that.

They used it before in the 2021 season.
