He’s an official commentator though
Michael Vaughan has been part of Nine’s commentary team for the Ashes since nov 2013. But why doesn’t he have a tie on instead of having sunglasses holding in his shirt?
Who cares?

To be fair he does most of his work for BBC Test Match Special, who use headset mics. I think it’s only really some TV broadcasters (Nine, Sky) who still use the old lip mics for cricket.
I think he’s also working for BT which is why we’ve seen less of him on Nine so far.

Cricket coverage extended for the second night in a row for Sydney and Melbourne, pushing back the night’s line-up for at least 30 minutes.

In situations like that, the news should be shortened to 30mins so that Nine are only say five minutes behind schedule instead of 30+ minutes

Slow over rate to blame? They’ve made up all the time from the other days.
If I was Nine, I’d consider asking for a change in playing times next summer. Start play for the day at 9:45am Brisbane or 10:45 Sydney time. It’d still be thrown out of kilter if there is a rain delay, but might help the news start closer to time.

I know that Sydney, Melbourne and Tasmania are going overtime when play continued during the day. With QLDers having Election, what will happen? Will there be a shortened Nine News in Brisbane?
Coverage finished at 6.30pm AEDT. Due to slow over rate.
