Echo Strauss.

Not surprisingly he seemed a little wooden and stilted on his Sky debut.. I felt a little awkward for him. But he's settled right in at Lords and sounds now like he's been part of the team for ages.

I have to say Sky's coverage of the Ashes so far has been brilliant. The insight pieces are really interesting without ever getting overly technical. The commentary as always fun and informative with plenty of banter. You're made to feel like you're mates with the team. Ian Ward, great presenter and interviewer, always gets the best off of out of those he talks to. And the Interactive stuff on iPad... wow, just wow!!! Love scrolling back through the session and watching wickets that I've missed.

Brill... and I'm more inclined to swallow their bloody price rise next month if they keep on doing that shiz. Wonder whether they'll do the same with the live Prem football this season... they've got hawkeye and stuff too now!
