Nasser is much more informed about one day cricket so heads Atherton in those formats. Bumble is increasingly a pain in the ass.
Work expands to fill the time available, so why do today what can be put off until tomorrow.

Atherton out in front so far.

Funnily enough I've never really warmed to him.

The main problem with Bumble is that Mrs DD can't cope with listening to him so we have to switch over. Usually she is quite happy to watch cricket.

Athers and Nas are the only Sky commentators I like, including Tests. I don't mind Allott and Ward. Probably get a bit more insight from Athers than Nas.

Mark Nicholas did C5 and Sky at one point. They'll be freelancers.
