If no-one in Australia picks up the rights at all then I suspect you'll be able to watch it for free in HD on starsports.com.

Jarrod Kimber: Why isn't there enough analysis on the T20 game? | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo

Thanks for that. Suppose Kimber could always write a few himself.

Still not a great format for mine, but if it brings dough into the game and broadens its appeal, then it isn't a bad thing.

The ICC just has to ensure the lesser nations don't get to uppity if they succeed in the format. We've already seen that happen with India, and it's been an awful thing for the game.

How fitting when we get to the form of the game that most needs obscene amounts of yelling from Slats and Brayshaw, they can't come.

Not that I mind them being nowhere near a mic. Taylor and Healy have a lot of fanboying and screaming to do.

I don't actually mind Taylor that much generally but he's absolutely **** in regards to T20 commentary. Still acts as if it's some sort of annual gimmick, which I suppose it is for him, but still.

Taylor's commentary curve trends up the less of his contemporaries he commentates with. When there's no Slats, Healy or Warne to be found in the box, Taylor is a pretty impressive commentator, at least in the longer stuff.

They won't actually be commentating though, will they? It'll be the panel/studio thing and then crossing to a feed like all the other midnight matches they televise

So they'll be doing innings break analysis which is even worse

Better IMO. Do people actually listen during the innings break analysis when they've watched the game? Useful if you missed some of the action I guess.
