Arthur Jepson as a player was before my time, but I remember seeing him as an umpire in test matches when they were on free telly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The TV coverage is woeful and the radio broadcasts are even worse. The clowns on the radio have forgotten that we cannot see what is happening and that they need to paint a word picture for us instead of waffling on about the game in their day. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 Well done Broady. 4 for 19 v Ireland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,271 Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Ireland bowled out for 38? I am sure this game was a lot of use in preparing for the Ashes...…….not 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,271 Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 England doing well in the first session, 2 of the sandpaper trio out, just need to get Smith before he gets really settled in. The TV coverage is sub-par, what is the obsession with ultra close ups, just pull back so we can see the fielding positions not some stupid graphic in the corner. What is with those ridiculously large numbers on the players backs, what use are they? They have their names on the shirts I'd like to be able to listen on the radio but our ABC (BBC equivalent) have decided only to broadcast via an app on your digital devices, what plonkers, whose mobile phone battery lasts long enough to listen to a full days cricket?

Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 At least you can still listen to all-day Live commentary on BBC radio here. To watch it on television, you have to pay for it on Sky. On free telly there is a 1 hour highlights programme every evening at 7pm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Another 5 wickets for Broady, and his 100 th against Australia. Brilliant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,271 Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Might have got a fivefer but from 8 for 122 to all out for 284 they found it amazingly difficult to get two assumed batting bunnies out before Smith took them to the cleaners. What were the coaches and captain telling the bowlers? We shall see if, yet again, they have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Where was the killer instinct to blast out the two bunnies?

Oztalgian 3,271 Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 England's batsmen would struggle to get runs against a local colliery welfare team Absolute rubbish batting. Hanging the bat out to dry and very little feet movement. who coaches this lot, don't even have to hit most of the balls they have been out to.
