For all the cuts/switching/stingers Seven get wrong, there is a lot they get spot on. It’s amazing to see the power of those 4 cameras they have on site, to the point where Fox are almost missing out on some of those positions.

They are doing what Channel 4 did with cricket coverage in the Uk at the turn of the century.
They didn’t get the resources that Sky got, so they went for a whole hearty coverage. Public backed it, but sky sports didn’t like them getting the backing and made sure channel 4 would be unable to bid for the next TV rights.

7News to follow the cricket, good decision rather than demote the test to 7mate as it is a tense finish.

I think 7 should have the amount of over remaining in the grey area instead of stating the obvious
Everyone know what both Australia & England need to win because it shows it in the score and also the target

By doing that it shows how many balls each batter has faced & wickets taken by the bowler

Fourth Test a thriller on Seven
2021-22 Test coverage reaches 10.9 million
With pride on the line, a brave England hung on until the last heart-stopping minute to salvage a draw in the Fourth Test at the SCG, with the Seven Network’s live and free coverage of the Pink Test reaching 7 million Australians and peaking at 1.6 million.
So far, Seven’s coverage of the 2021-22 Australia-England Test series has reached 10.87 million people, with the final clash in Hobart to come.
In a Test for the ages that saw back-to-back centuries from comeback king Usman Khawaja and heroics from both sides, Seven’s coverage of the day five cliff-hanger yesterday reached 3.95 million Australians nationally and peaked at 2 million.
The third session had 1.56 million viewers nationally (confirmed times), the biggest audience for a cricket session ever on Seven, while 1.35 million viewers nationally tuned in for the second session and 1.22 million for the first session. All sessions dominated their timeslots, ranking #1 in 25 to 54s, 16 to 39s and total people.
Seven delivered 77% of the Ashes broadcast audience on Sunday nationally. In the capital cities, Seven had a 66.9% commercial audience share (6am to 6pm) in total people and 68.4% in 25 to 54s.

The commentators in the studio today, couldn’t make the hour trip down the highway?
Probably not worth the risk currently.

Technical issue no doubt but violation of the current broadcast rights.

Still going now. Wonder what’s happened? A second of Border Security played at the return from the ad-break after the drinks break.
It is very delayed though. A few balls behind Kayo at least.
