Can someone please explain why even when 7 is doing BBL coverage they are still not allowed streaming rights?

Because that’s part of the deal they signed back in 2018. At the time streaming wasn’t quite as big as it is now but even Blind Freddy could have seen how shortsighted that was with how trends were going.

Sorry let me rephrase that… why does channel 7 sign stupid deals

To be fair tho. Channel 10 were happy enough with the exact same terms. They offered 80 mil per year to 7 82 mil.

The pre show today, she is even worse! Struggled to string two sentences together, is everything ok with Mel?

I remember a few years ago, she threw to the Lunch or Tea break and ad-libbed a line about her being hungry and she butchered it like a stroke victim. Stick her on the BBL coverage or rework her role in a similar capacity like how Fox use Kath Loughnan, news updates and interviews only on the Test coverage.
The less Mel, the better because she is a weak spot on the coverage.

It was a late night watching Premier League
She seems nervous hosting and seems to be stumbling on her words a bit. I can’t remember her being like this at 10 when she hosted cricket and Olympics/Comm Games???

Yep - she has always struggled to do ad-libbed presenting.

So called “host” broadcaster not at the ground again tonight. Pathetic as usual.

Both Fox & 7 not at the ground a lot of times this year. They were at the SCG yesterday but seems like only Lisa went to Spotless Stadium. Maybe Alister had other commitments.

One of the best things about 7’s coverage is having Simon to explain any umpire decisions or drs stuff, helps explain any 50-50 stuff

Sorry? If you’re asking what his involvement is, he appears during the pre-game program either in person or remotely to give a prediction of what he thinks will happen that day. Otherwise he has no involvement. 
Due to rain, Test match on Day 3 concluded at 5:30 Pm (AEDT)
