Is it me or are we seeing a lot less of Ian Botham on Sky Sports these days? And Michael Holding come to think of it, although I know he's doing some commentating in the World Cup, but before that he wasn't on a for a while. And Gower.
I guess when the Ashes arrives we'll see them back, it's like a comfort blanket having them around
On the plus side, we've seen more of Rob Key whose I like listening to a lot. I'm biased though.

Holding was doing the South African summer all while England were in the Caribbean, I thought it was sort of odd since Windies are his team. Seems like there’s about 50 people doing the World Cup games.Is it me or are we seeing a lot less of Ian Botham on Sky Sports these days?

Alison Mitchell is decent too, her and Boycott were the only good thing about BTs ashes coverage for me

It seems you're not allowed to boo Smith
The Sydney Morning Herald however, was appreciative. It said that "Kohli, often seen as the villain when playing Australia, demonstrated a show of friendship" in the game but added that it would remain to be seen if Kohli's message filtered through to the rest of the cricketing world.
Yeah right. I get that there's a shelf life to all this but I'm not sure I agree with the suggestion that fans shouldn't make their feelings known for at least a while and I doubly don't agree with any suggestion that Warner shouldn't be booed. That rat**** needs booing at every single opportunity, even when getting off the coach.
Interesting that both times I've seen this suggested it was by Australians (Langer and now the Sydney Herald) who (as far as I'm aware) kept their great big flappy sandpaper riddled gums firmly shut when Broad was on the end of it.
Fucking boo away. Especially at Warner, the fucking cockroach.

It's weird that people are wasting breath and paper on this issue. Of course they're going to get booed.
Isn't that what cricket is about anyway? I would actually be a bit disappointed if one of our players cheated and weren't booed in Australia.

I really can’t believe the hypocrisy coming out of Australia over this.
I was in Australia in 2003 just before the rugby World Cup and the hate campaign towards the England team was unreal and they did nothing wrong unlike smith and warner

I lived their for about a year and found most Australians pretty decent warm people but they change when the subject of sport comes up and are generally very bad winners and losers
