We watched it sat at the back of a big outdoor bar in Mallorca, so couldn't actually hear the droll shite of Clive, Glenn and Lee Dixon.
Even when we were winning and playing well, so it wasn't a blame the messenger view, we loved it that we couldn't hear their tripe.
2 minutes of programme, followed by 5 minutes of ads. Rinse and repeat for 45 minutes.
Yes I know they're commercial, but this is the biggest pisstake in their cheapskate history.
On cable TV I saw the entire home game repeated a couple of years ago. England were brilliant, playing great passing football which ripped Poland apart time after time. Their famous goalie had the game of his life (and a lorry load of luck).
Being a bad loser and despising the Aussies at sport, I didn't watch one second. Can't stand Warner - in the Botham / Viv Richard's era, he would've been a snivelling coward.
Other than the one recent tour, with home advantage including wickets and the Kookabura, they always destroy us.
Must admit, I never noticed that about BT, but you must be right.
I loved their CL coverage, with the brilliant footballing quartet of Lineker/Gerrard/Lampard/Rio, giving quality insight in the rest of the prog.
Ads dominate, so all momentum is lost when the pundits get going. G.Neville is brilliant on Sky, but you barely get to listen to his views on ITV.
Tyldesley isn’t very good. Amazing that ITV stick by him, as if he’s the quality of Martin Tiler.
Lee Dixon comes across as dour and dominates...
