Commentary the same on both SBS and Fox. Just the hosts that are different
Mike Atherton sounds like the black guy from Family Guy :lol:

It's also on Fox Sport HD, which is true HD ... I've just been flicking channels between Fox and SBS and you're gonna get ads regardless :shock:

Hey Dutchy, how come we can get the Ashes on 5 channels (2 Fox, 3 SBS) but not all the AFL games on the weekend??? :evil:

Dutchy, if you are keen on MLB, or NHL, the Fox HD is simply THE BEST sporting picture you will get. So clear...

Stuart MacGill got straight off to a bad start when he opened with "there is no greater rivalry in world sport than the Ashes between England and Australia".

It got better tho when they screened the national anthems, starting with Katherine Jenkins :shock: :ymapplause: singing "Land of the Fathers", the Welsh Anthem.

I'm so glad SBS are covering, stuff 9 and 7 who were crap when they had it in 2001.

Whats the chances that they will refer to Hauritz, by his actual name, rather than Haury before the match is over?
Or a chance go by when talking about Bopara that MacGill doesnt mention that he doesnt think he his a test number three?

I was actually speaking to my brother on the phone a little earlier and he was going nuts about the SBS team. He was saying that Martyn's just doing his stunned mullet thing, Matthews is alright but MacGill can't host for s__t and keeps going on about Bopara not being a number three. :lol:

I've been watching the Fox Sports feed the whole time and the banter between the guys in the studio and at the ground ain't bad. Greg "Man about town" Blewett! ;)

Stuart MacGill has no right to comment on anyone's batting.....EVER. Hmmmm, I wonder what his missus is up to for the next 6 weeks.
