@mikedogz they're either untried, experienced with all the charisma of a plank, try too hard to be funny. Couple sound interesting but in the main it'd be nice to have some y'know actual broadcasters. Stevenson's obviously the exception but he annoys me nowadays

I like(d) the sky cricket commentary team, only Riggor had started to grate. But only a bit, which is a good effort considering you listen to them for 6 hours a day.
I think they'd become excellent, so I will miss them.
From my POV, shame that Riggor is the only one to move.
Cumming kept abreast of the provincial scene, so wasn't totally blindsided by someone new (like Riggor was). Doull and Styris had great knowledge of other (visiting) world players from their T20 circus gigging. They were a good balanced team. Remember the holy cow days of Martin Crowe ....
But prepared to give them a go.
Jeets should be interesting. Not often have a spinners POV in the box. Plus his domestic,& county knowledge

The others (e.g., Doull, Styris) already have overseas gigs that would be well-paid.
Doull is doing radio commentary alongside Rikki Swannell and Mike Hesson

Craig McMillan had a stint on the Sky commentary team before becoming batting coach and I thought he was good. I think he did a few tests after finishing as batting coach as well. What has he got on his head?
BMac was also with Sky as a newbie - I found him a bit vanilla.
Sonia Gray is the Lotto lady - but, apparently a cricket tragic.
TBH I'm not planning to get Spark Sport this year. Cricket will be on the radio for me again - "Great days of summer....".

I'm assuming Sonia Gray will be presenter rather commentator.
But I'm prepared to be surprised*
*dissapointed.

.....and with his lack of spin as a player we’re still not getting one

@hydro11 agree, looks good.
I'll miss Waddle though. THat dude's a legend
Waddle is hilariously grumpy when you actually meet him. When I worked in media he threw a classic tanty when the Microwave didn’t work.
But by golly him and Coney made long car rides enjoyable with their chat.
-
Kiwi at the helm of the ICC that is most definitely not, and never will be a corrupt organisation.
seriously, though, good for him.
-
@nzzp I can't recall that I've ever heard of him, but this...."and is a former board member and chairman of the Northern Districts Cricket Association" certainly doesn't surprise me.
Not content with merely taking over every aspect of NZ cricket, these feckers are taking over the world.
