After the brilliant Opener used by Nine for the last Summer of Cricket, the “green and blue flames” look for The Ashes is comparatively tacky IMO! ---

Ordinary coverage as ususl, I try to block the commentators out a lot of the time during Ashes and switch to Dr Phil during cringing promos / ads / delays. Solid easy going hour by poms, we’ve switched to spinner I heard, worrying a tad. Wicket must be dead already, though someone said looked getting fast. How I love ❤ and loathe my cricket 😑 ---

Those pitchscan graphics appear to use the BT Sport font (despite the WWOS watermark). Looks like the Brits are sharing resources. As an aside, BT’s pretty solid commentary team. ![image](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/e/2/e298be9fe5964f60d0588e4c4065427a9e2be88c.jpg) ---

Just turned the volume on for the classic catches for a minute. Wow the commentators are so dry. I wish they would look at having a commentator that isn’t necessarily an ex cricket player. It might help bring some flow to the team. ---

Nine wouldn’t be too upset with the rain. It can be made up tonight. Most likely going into primetime. ---

SCA9 (Ballarat) sponsor board for cricket. Different V/O, but otherwise is it any different to metro? ![20171123_153924](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/f/e/fed2e925dc5c2bb4abb08ab716da53f73e77b1b5.jpg) > [@turdall](#): > > Nine wouldn’t be too upset with the rain Why is that the first thing that came into your mind, regarding the rain delay? How about the crowd (which the 'Gabba of all places is lucky to get), who pay a full price and sometimes may only be lucky to see 20 overs! Yes, it’s probably Nine’s pet hate though. ---

> [@LukeMovieMan](#): > > How about the crowd (which the 'Gabba of all places is lucky to get), who pay a full price and sometimes may only be lucky to see 20 overs! Ummm you do realise they will still be able to see the game if it goes for an extra hour tonight which is likely to occur. Considering there has already been nearly 40 overs I don’t see your point regarding lucky enough to see 20 overs. But ok. > [@LukeMovieMan](#): > > Why is that the first thing that came into your mind, regarding the rain delay? It wasn’t the first thing that came to mind heard it from the coverage that I am listening to that it will go for an extra hour to make up for the rain delay… Obviously nine will be happy for increased primetime shares. ---

Stumps as soon as players can’t see the ball. What’s that in QLD this time of year, 7pm-ish? Although heard min of 80 overs today, doubt they’ll get it before light’s out.
