New graphics for the ODI series, very interesting. Apologies for the poor quality of the caps.

Revolting. They look very American.
And has a 90s feel to it for some reason. The graphics they had were excellent, don’t really see the need for change
Hopefully it’s just for the ODI and T20I series. If they ever broadcast a test match again (pending new broadcast rights) hopefully they go back to what they had.

Wowwwww. Those new graphics are horrific. Looks like someone was playing the Need For Speed video game from 15 years ago and took inspiration from it to design these.
Nine’s graphics in any sport have never been great but this has to be a new low.

It’s very Ricky Ponting 2005 to me.
I guess these are their prototype Big Bash graphics for next year.
Just tuned-in to the telecast. The graphics look awful. Very techno and modern?

Yeah, look like they are straight out of a cricket video game.
Bloody odd to go to the effort of changing graphics with only a handful of ODIs/T20s left on your deal.

this is probably part of a wider relaunch for the Wide World of Sports brand.
I’m obviously in a minority cause I love these new graphics.I think they look very sharp

I agree. The current branding for Nine’s Wide World Of Sports dates back to 2013, so that’s probably overdue for a refresh.
Not really sure if I like those ODI cricket graphics though!

I don’t mind them at all either.
They are certainly more distinctive than the previous ones, which were a bit on the bland side.
I am with you there! I think they look fine.

To me it looks like the coverage is being produced for multiple broadcasters - maybe the UK broadcaster is taking this feed too and therefore the graphics are not 9 specific?

That could be the case- BT Sport (the UK broadcaster) are indeed taking the Channel 9 feed.
