News about Isa Guha

David Warner may be stepping down from Test and ODI cricket, but he'll still have a lot to juggle as he transitions from being a cameraman to being behind the microphone as a commentator.

Joey Barton's misogynistic outburst sparked scathing criticism, but Guha (pictured left and with colleague Mark Waugh) has given her own classy response.

It wasn't the most welcoming of openings for Isa Guha, with wind threatening the sheaf of papers in front of her and guests who weren't disposed to animated discussion. Sue Barker, who was in the seat, would have risen if she had not been led by the grey BBC suits to the door, knowing the danger was imminent. It was a Test match for the ages, 12 miles north, that culminated in a tournament lacking red-hot storylines this year. The decision to encourage Russian and Belarusian players to compete seemed like a family, but All-England Club board members Tim Henman and Anne Keothavong were not about to go rogue.

As they waited in the hopes of securing tickets, Wimbledon fans were seen bringing a sofa to the ticket queue and indulging in strawberries in cream. More than 6,200 non-ticket holders joined the queue in a bid to get a glimpse of the action today as Serbia's Djokovic defends his title against Argentina's 67th-ranked Pedro Cachin. Tennis fans lined up in Wimbledon Park this morning were already grabbing their queue cards as they attempted to snag coveted on-the-day tickets to the world's most coveted tournament. And one group was even more prepared for the inevitable long wait by bringing a plush pink sofa to relax on. To top it off, the well-seasoned queuers had strawberries and cream to snack on.

BY AADAM PATEL – Exclusive INTERVIEW – BY AADAM PATEL – Midway through our discussion in the Lord's Media Centre, in between Isa Guha's commentary stints on Test Match Special (TMS), a subtle wave of applause emanates from Steve Smith's standouts as he approaches his 32nd Test century. Guha takes a few seconds to look at the closest television screen to appreciate the achievement. There is something that links the two people in a way.

Sue Barker, the former Wimbledon presenter, said she wished to be in the top job forever but 'on her own terms.' Sue has been 'traveling a lot' and "doing a lot more' since stepping back from her role: Now you don't even have to worry about what the [tennis] commentators are saying or what the scores are.' I can just enjoy it as a fan.'

On Today, the television and radio presenter will join Isa Guha on the BBC's daily evening round-up of the tournament's highlights, stepping into Clare Balding's shoes as she takes over from Sue Barker for the network's main news (inset). Alom referred to himself as a "tennis geek" who "wanted to act as a child" on Instagram and Twitter (left).

Officials have denied that leaky wet weather covers were to blame for delays in the rain-effected Sydney Cricket Ground Test between Australia and South Africa, but an English cricket legend has blasted the excuse. After the set stampede with NRMA Insurance advertisements, a leaking leak was evidently introduced onto the wicket square, SCG groundstaff returned to using a new set of SCG covers on day four. Cricket Australia had requested that the groundstaff use the latest covers, which ironically were emblazoned with the insurance company's tagline 'HELP.'

It's cricket's biggest taboo topic, and Aussie quick Mitchell Starc has revived the Mankad debate after denying to the tense act at Theunis de Bruyn despite the South African being well out of his crease. The 32-year-old was fired early after de Bruyn left his crease far too early and was well down the pitch, not once but twice, alerting the South African that there is a line for a reason.'

Isa Guha (left) of BBC Sports has denied rumors that she is being lined up as the next Sue Barker (pictured with Ms Guha on right), saying: 'You can never be anyone else.' The former England cricketer, who began blogging about the sport after her retirement as an international ten years ago, has fronted the Corporation's coverage of Wimbledon. She also spoke about the highlights from the Commonwealth Games.

Isa Guha's reaction is in contradiction with her apparent presence in our living rooms, according to an exclusive interview. I don't think I'll ever be able to do that,' she says. Guha, the former England cricketer, is facing rumors that she has been lined up by the BBC to be Sue Barker's replacement following a fruitful move into other sports, including the fronting of the corporation's Wimbledon coverage and highlights of the Commonwealth Games. Sue Barker,' yells, is irreplaceable.' Sue was an amazing host and her last few days she was extremely emotional. During those last Sunday celebrations, we were all sitting in the studio, listening with her encouragement as she was really moving, and I was in awe of what she had achieved,' says Guha, 37.
