Sky Sports Revamp

That green does look bad.

Looks even worse on larger graphics, very poor.

I found it quite unreadable at first but your eyes do adjust.

I am sure the last graphics had green but the shade of it darker.

The last graphics had darker colours,

It's only not so easy to read, it's also distracting from watching the action because it stands out so much.

Can someone explain the graphics on The Ashes Debate right now on Sky Sports Cricket?

They are a weird combination of the last EFL era before the rebrand and the current Sky Sports EFL era?

The name-bars are exactly the same as the pre re-brand EFL coverage but the live bug in the right hand side with Bob Willis was from the current EFL generation. Why are we seeing football style red and white graphics from the past era on current generation cricket?

Also the top right graphics are going under the DOG.

So even though they've lost the rights Sky are still doing an Ashes show. Do BARB give figures on what proportion of the audience Aussies make up?

It was very paired back compared to the usual cricket debate/analysis/verdict coverage. Was in the same studio as used for the F1 report. Rob Key presented with Hussain and Butcher in the studio and Bob Willis in Australia via Skype using pre-relaunch EFL style namebars.

I'm not even sure it was live. There was no live DOG during the program but when you went over to Bob Willis in Australia there was a LIVE from graphic (despite it being 5am there) in the new EFL style under the DOG (weird) and a lot of the quotes that the guests in the studio said have been on the website for many hours previously.
