I first noticed the 2nd and 3rd the wrong way round. 
Also, the Armenia and especially the Latvia win-draw-lose numbers don't add up

Neither does Croatia's tally, for that matter (one point out!) - it was all a bit of a fine mess yesterday, really.

And I swear Catrin Heledd seems to be dealing with a lot of bleak Welsh sporting post-mortems at the moment - be it on MOTD Wales or (especially) Scrum V on Sundays - but I digress.

I've never seen them use the crest before, it's usually the flag.

Looks like it yes indeed, with 5 and Sky Sports Cricket logos. The Hindi feed is a little weird where they seem to opt out of the default Hindi feed to show inserts but has been interesting to watch how this production company have to produce two feeds and possibly three if they still produce the Marathi feed.

Sky seem to have a odd frame rate for the main camera which shows all three sky pundits but it’s fine when they do individual shots.

Is the final being produced in 4K?

Some sound problems on Channel 5 druing the interval of the cricket. Back from the first break, the promos played out in complete silence, before sound arrived a minute or so later. I think Sky might be having the same issues, with the audio quality of the microphones of Ian Ward et al. being very shaky once they were audible.

It really is abnormal to see the Channel 5 DOG next to the Sky Sports Cricket live DOG.

Not a clean departure even a double ad break

Prime Video's tennis coverage coming to an end shortly at the ATP Finals in Turin. Catherine Whitaker presenting with Greg Rusedski and Daniela Hantuchova who have been on their coverage since day one at the 2018 US Open.

(they have one more event, the ATP Next Gen Finals, that will be world feed produced)

While not yet announced officially, it's probably the worst kept secret in sports broadcasting that Sky Sports take over coverage of the ATP and WTA tours from January 2024.

I think Prime did a great job with tennis even with my dubious internet connection, it worked quite well at 1080p 50, all the matches were available quite effortlessly, I think it was well produced by Amazon Prime, I will be sorry to see it go.

Really troubling news to hear that TNT Sports' pundit Ugo Monye was allegedly subjected to racial abuse whilst at Sandy Park today for the Exeter v. Gloucester Premiership match.

Below is Ugo's account of the incident, it does contain offensive language

The really troubling thing is sadly such things don't surprise me nowadays.
