Nine Cricket Coverage

This one gives me a laugh.

Good to see “the duck” in full HD these days! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Aside from maybe the fonts, I actually rather like Nine’s new cricket graphics. The new Opener is pretty good too!

There is now a camera inside the commentry box.
It’s only 7 overs in but I have already noticed a difference in the commentry. Limited speaking. On topic.

Why is “OVERS” not centred - looks wrong.

The duck hasn’t changed much

The graphics have improved though over the years :slight_smile:

Maybe because it needs the space because there will end up being 3-4 digits? (In relation to why “overs” is not centred"

Copied from Ten

Not sure if your joking or not …
Ch9 is the ONLY cricket broadcaster that didn’t use a camera in the commentry box (until today). Sky Sports, Ch4, India, NZ, SA, they all do it. So does that mean Ch10 copied it from them?

I meant vertically centred that everything else seems to be - it is aligned with the bottom of the score to the right rather than the rest of the text to the left.

Ok… Didn’t notice - but now I have and it’s driving me crazy… Thanks! :joy::joy:

Just got home & watching the coverage now, flicking in-between Oaks Day :slight_smile:

WACA crowd looks poor, we’ll have to wait until the weekend to see if it improves (not being a work day).

New graphics are ordinary, they’re acceptable.

Warnie & Pietersen providing good analysis.

Taylor mumbling through as usual.

And why do Ch 9 need to employ Mark Nicholas again? As useless as Brayshaw.

WE WANT BILL LAWRY! (I heard he’s unwell though, which is sad).

Bit of a thrashing at the moment, not the greatest start to watch. Bloody brilliant for Australia though

There is now a new WWOS green into which I will cap shortly.

I think a white background would have worked better as appose to the blue.

Love the new graphics! Also, thank God the WACA pitch has some life!

Two commentators at a time is a good idea as well.

Some decent improvements on nine…but Healey and Taylor have got to go. They’re annoying as fuck.

I second that :+1:

Not a big fan of Healy and Taylor either, and wasn’t even when they were playing. The others aren’t too bad though. I don’t mind Michael Slater. I am just relieved that I don’t need to listen to James Brayshaw. What a relief. Actually didn’t mind Shane Warne and Kevin Pietersen was fantastic. Michael Clarke was also quite good, more so over the lunch time break.

Damn those graphics are ugly.

The blue is still wrong for cricket, just team colour code the whole lot with a neutral grey for the generic stuff.
