See you on the 21st, set your alarm clocks ⏰😅

📸 circa 1996 or so, around the time of Sri Lanka winning the World Cup. AB with the throw down just out of shot 👌 Think it was the only time I ever hit one off’t square. Poor V500 didn’t get used properly. #genuinenumber11

Thanks to those who have made it possible. It’s been the worst year away from the mic, but I’ve already been away from home for a few weeks, working hard on prep and getting ready to try to do this justice for all of you fellow Cricket obsessives. It’s going to be a special series! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇦🇺

Growing up surrounded by the game & being obsessed with it, playing in the Lancs League, watching/listening to my commentary heroes, before following another - the brilliant Nasser Hussain - as Broadcast Sport Commentator of the Year…this is an opportunity that I didn’t expect, but am grateful for

😂😂😂 Thanks, mate. VERY excited about it. A real honour and a dream gig.

Not sure, tbh. I'm just passing on the broadcast details & obviously don't decide about the business things, neither does the production team. I just know that industry-wide, there's now ads on most streaming services. Sorry I can't help anymore.

Not sure, tbh. Not my remit to deal with the business side, just passing on the message. I'd guess not, as that's the industry direction of travel at the moment. Ads on most streaming services now.

A quick reminder that unlike Giro & TdF, not every stage is produced from start to finish by host broadcasters, but we will be on-air with Orla in the studio, then join live action as soon as we get it. From memory, around 10 of the stages are live from km0 this year, including the opener tomorrow.

Thanks to all of you for watching these. Will continue every week on YouTube & on TV. Having a little break from live commentary for a few weeks, but back for the Vuelta on TNT Sports 👌

I’m not sure about the business side & am a freelancer, but if I hear something I will post as had a few questions this year on that front.

Think we mentioned the account once in jest, but never taking the info seriously. I’m not on much social aside from instagram so hadn’t seen this, but thanks for making me aware - views like that certainly won’t get any airtime from me. The world is a worrying place atm 😔

Most definitely
