So far not as good as channel 10’s presentation. Seems to be a longer delay in getting the game started. I am not a fan of Michael Slater. Disappointed to see him moving from channel 9 to 7. Even more disapointed to hear him on the Big Bash. The man suffers from verbal diarrhoea, and has a very annoying voice.

Not impressed with the two bigheaded commentators on BBL tonight,
(after the game) One of the three had departed. Were the Hobart Hurricanes the only team playing this game?
