yeah, from what i have seen, 7 must be one of the only cricket broadcasters who do not remove the score graphic on replays. ---

Instead of news, Brisbane went with The Chase that didn’t have time to finish with the test now back on from 4:45 ![Test_Cricket_20230104_1527.ts_000894080](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/4X/9/e/f/9efa2ee5f942e6613f34ea6669d11efe5d8daa40.jpeg) Test finishes at 5:30 PM AEDT.

Ball hit along the ground towards the boundary and no camera followed it until it was about 2m from the rope. The commentators? As expected, they had NFI bumbling and stumbling until, “THERE IT IS!” Absolutely pathetic, Ch7. ---

Unfortunately we’ll be seeing less and less coverage from the ground. According to Ray Hadley it’s easier and better calling from the studio and nearly all commentators agree. But the quality more often than not really detracts. ---

No way commentators - who are human beings, in case ya’ll forgot - will willingly return to the hectic travel arrangements of yesteryear when Andrew’s Hub is up and running well enough. That and the lack of costs for that travel are a massive saving. ---

Hope Hadley was just referring to Rugby League, which would be relatively easy to call off a TV as the entire field is comparatively small compared to say, AFL and cricket, so easier for the cameras to follow the action. I just struggle to have any sympathy for commentators on lucrative contracts complaining about having to travel, or broadcasters who after winning the rights, think the best way to promote the sport is to dumb it down. And their commentators do sound stupid when they haven’t a clue where the ball is or where it’s going. ---

Looks like Lisa Sthalekar is play by play tonight, I’d say they are warming her into the role. [Previous page](https://forums.mediaspy.org/t/seven-cricket-coverage/4621.md?page=208) [Next page](https://forums.mediaspy.org/t/seven-cricket-coverage/4621.md?page=210)
