Haha, wow. Wasn't expecting that in a million years.

That is too cool for school! Wow, a reason to watch Channel 10.

 

[Burgey]

Hope this doesn't compromise either Big Brother or Idol, tbh.

Haha gun.

Channel 10 is aimed at a younger market, so that's a great move. Wonder who will do the commentating though. Who did it for the beach cricket again?

 

[Johnners]

OMG, I'll be able to watch cricket without thinking it's snowing all the time!!!!

<3 you channel 10

Nah the games would start 9:30pm to 1:30 or so. Although if Big Bro is on you may not get to see as much up-late..

I hope this still means that we get to see it here in NZ.

Would Australia's choice of broadcaster impact New Zealands decision to broadcast it?

Possibly, I don't know. Sky might have had some deal with Channel 9.

Don't forget the biggest loser

 

[howardj]

haha Perfect network.

Maybe they could have the equally meaningless Big Brother as the lead in.

Promote it as Moron Monday / Wanky Wednesday or whatever.

Steve Carfino, with special comments from Gretel.

Haha!!

I can just picture Gretels special comments..

After each wicket she can say "It's time to go.. *waits 10 seconds* whoever gets out"

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Steve Carfino is a gun.

 

[Ospi]

What days would these matches be on? as long as they don't try to show them on Sunday nights, that would seriously piss me off.

 

[rama_v]

Please don't have Bill Woods commentating. Pleeeaaasseee

 

[howardj]

Quartermain and Sandra Sully.

 

[Nate]

Hamish and Andy.

 

[NUFAN]

Quartermain and Sandra Sully .

Yes please!

Quartermain is a good man, good knowledge and Sandra Sully for her voice, just love it, she would make Twenty20 ***y as.

I actually think Tim Lane would be very good. He used to be with ABC Radio, think he'd be good, also some Beach Cricket commentators/players such as Dean Jones who is respected highly in India would be good.

Also, I think I might have done a few too many GOODS in that sentence..

I don't think KOK has any commitments with Channel 7 anymore so he could be a possibility. With that said, I think they'll be looking at younger commentators to match the younger image of the competition. Still, this is excellent news and I look forward to watching.
