Veteran Cricket and Rugby commentator Ian Smith has announced he has left Sky TV after 23 years with the network. Smith, 65, made it public when he was on his radio show with Senz on Monday morning that the decision was by “mutual agreement”. “There’s a purpose and a direction towards Māori and Pacific input and, of course, female sport, like never before. So it was mutual that we part ways,” he said. Did I just say that – 60 years ago?,” Smith was quoted as saying by stuff.co.nz.
