It's been a long, old summer for many cricket fans.

First, there were the Ashes.
Following the five-match Test series, a one-day series against the Poms began, also involving five matches.
Then, a T20I tri-series between the Aussies, Poms and Kiwis took off.
Not to mention the 687 Big Bash games that took place in between all that.
Fans have been vocal of the cricket commentary throughout the summer, especially Channel Nine's.
However, with Fox Sports broadcasting the series between the Aussies and South Africa, supporters were confident they would get a fresh approach to the cricket.
Enter Mark Nicholas.
Twitter wasn't having it.
Why is Mark Nicholas commentating? The worst #SAvAUS pic.twitter.com/cqD9FQVs3i

Was just thinking how refreshing the commentary was & bang, Mark Nicholas comes out of nowhere & shatters that contentment. If Michael Clarke comes on, Foxtel is deadset getting disconnected tomorrow #SAvAUS
