Yeah I don't know how they gently caress that stuff up every time, there are acceptable templates from all of the existing broadcast teams just use one of them...

edit: specifically, get the score in one of the corners and lose the bottom ribbon entirely it's useless.

He has an incredibly ugly action. It looks even worse in person than on TV.

Everyone knows that the best part of a CWC is the awkward player portraits, and now you can see them at any time.

Also McCullum is a 6 cylinder apparently but is it V or inline?

Malinga probably should have retired on top after the last World T20 tbh.
