Is it possible to watch any ENGLISH international cricket in this country, male or female, without the horrible irritating mel fucking jones? Her voice grates big time

I've read on ESPN Cricinfo that she won't be covering the Old Trafford Test.

Does anyone know who the South African women commentator is today? My total guess is Dane Van Nierkerk who recently retired from internationals.
 
It'll be kind of sad if England women win this, as they're looking like doing. It makes you realise that there was almost nothing between the two teams. They're matching each other blow for blow. If it wasn't for that abysmal final over of the Aussies innings in the last ODI, worth 27 runs, England would be have been in with a serious chance of pulling off a huge upset.
Ah well, the two limited overs world cups coming up. We'll see what's what.

I take heart from the fact we tied ( looking that way ) a the full ashes series with them, but yes, small margins. so near yet so far

I just can't take to women's cricket at all, just tried watching 10 minutes but that's all I could manage which is 5 longer than I usually last.
 
I enjoyed what I saw. I'm sure I am late to this and its been said already but is that Dagnall Paul Dickov in disguise !?

Another English commentator might be a thought? We currently get Ponting, Taylor, Jones, Sangakara, Morgan etc, what about Dominic Cork? Passionate, intelligent, played and coached at a high level, says it as it is, and he is even English
 
Rob Jones is a big loss, a local batsman looking like reaching his peak going to the Pears and not being considered for selection for the next 2 months.

He probably got a decent offer from Lancs but other teams often value our lads more like with Alex Davies 2 years ago.

I do know what you mean, I admit it. I took no interest whatsoever in the women's game before this series. And even then, it's only because it's the Aussies, and I always want to see the Aussies beaten in cricket (I almost support India against the Aussies in the men's game, but there it's a bit problematic, sort of like deciding whether you're going to support the dippers against the rags or not).
Don't ask me to show any interest in women's rugby, though. No, that, really not.

Aah, the close season! You find yourself cleaning parts of the house that you've neglected for months. Since the last close season, in fact…
