Live from Lord's/Cricket on five

I thought Sky's coverage was good today, the graphics look really nice, interesting to see how they copied 'the analyst' on 4 by putting Nasser Hussain in a similar role as 'The 3rd Man'. Nice to see Mark Nicholas back, I thought it was a shame that five only had one commentator on at a time, I don't know why, it just irritated me.

Incidently, re World Cup 2007 rights- live and exclusive on Sky, highlights (must be late at night because of the time difference) on BBC TV.

Oh, Nasser replaced Mr Hughes, did he?

Somebody was talking about an animated bat and wicket replacing him.

I don't really care, so long as we've got rid of Mr Hughes.

Well, he has been replaced by an animated bat and wicket called "Willow and Stumpy" for the Jargonbusting part of Hughes' job. I haven't seen it yet though, so unfortunately cannot say if they're any less wooden.

There's quite a detailed summary of the first day's television coverage here:
