The Umpire

A cricket loving, Kent panel umpire. My views are my own.

So … this is the state of cricket! The @ILT20Official is only 4 years old but has a quality commentary team and great coverage. #TheAshes has over ONE HUNDRED years of history and @cricketontnt @tntsports has a bang average, below-par broadcast! @MichaelVaughan get involved! Plz

@englandcricket Lives by the sword and died by the sword. Back off them. This is the way they play and if it came off they would have been hero’s. 2 Aussie lads had an incredible game and only @benstokes38 had a day out. We move on to the Gabba. #ashes25

@pandaoballet @cricketontnt They have no choice mate. They are using Aussie TV coverage. This is why it’s such a Micky take due to what we all pay!

[The Umpire @umpirebadger]

@cricketontnt Worst commentary and coverage I’ve ever seen. You should be embarassed! @RishiSunak surely as our Ex-PM and cricket lover you can support us cricket lovers in holding @tntsports accountable?

[The Umpire @umpirebadger]

@tntsports What is this that im watching? Beyond a subpar commentary team, a stump mic that is muffled and turned right down and now we have no audio for the TV umpire?!! Literally what is this?? You guys need to be ashamed. What is this??

@SkyHelpTeam why is my Sky Q box not working? I have reset it from the power main many times and it’s still not turning on. PLEASE HELP.

[The Umpire @umpirebadger]

@KUmpires I’m sure Addington cc would love them … maybe a little out of the way though?

@skybluecraigy @FredBoycott Did you see Sajid and Noman bowl? They just picked up bags of wickets in 2 tests! Seriously, not sure I call that aweful. Easy playing a turning ball from your sofa I bet!

[The Umpire @umpirebadger]

@northernclub @EuropeanCricket Go well boys it’s an incredible setting and organised by the finest of people!

@chewytheleftie @EuropeanCricket Absolutely brilliant, Chris! The on-field is different. It’s all the off-field and production, crew and hotel experience. Bit of a package deal!
