Had to be. The comm box wouldn’t be that usual shot during an as break for that very reason.

When they returned Ricky also said something along the lines of that’s a delicious shot. I don’t think it was a nod to Bruce

Definitely a planned advert for KFC. Not a great one either.

It’s horrible, but as it’s Ten coverage of cricket it won’t create waves; if nine had done it, OMG! Every man and his dog would be saying how horrible Nine are! #justsaying

It’s great to have Mark Nicholas posting here to defend Channel Nine Cricket at every opportunity.

I thought the cricket standard was to show the innings scorecard between overs. No way that wasn’t a subtle advertisement.
Ten barely shows the scoreboard between overs, if ever.

Cricket coverage tonight went to a black screen for 3 balls.
Since been fixed but Watermark is missing and no HD.

Looks like they’ve lost their main satellite dish at the Gabba, they do have a backup ready though.
TEN Sydney had a technical issue tonight.
We got a black screen with just the HD logo on it for about a minute (WIN Newcastle was fine and in HD), and now the cricket is back on, but SD only and no TEN or HD logos!
What a game it was at the Gabba! Hobart Hurricanes made it 4 straight wins after beating the heat by 3 runs in a nailbiter.

At the grounds around Australia they have a direct fibre connection to presentation/master control but also a backup microwave link. So for Big Bash they have a news link truck sending backup SDI feed to local station then onpassing that via DVN to Sydney.
