Re: cricket thread
No, but it might sort out the England captain i lost interest in this after BT took the rights and then Mr Ginger was caught getting out his handbag in public, tour was doomed at that point in my opinion

Can't say I was too impressed with Sky not having the ashes less than a month after I renewed my subscription.

Re: cricket thread
That and European football only kept it because of the darts and wwe for the kids. Cricket coverage is good though and the IPL coverage is far better than ITV when they had it. Football was if I'm in I watch it miss European football Tuesday/Wednesday not bothered about the Europa leagueRandall wrote:Can't say I was too impressed with Sky not having the ashes less than a month after I renewed my subscription.

Re: cricket thread
I only really keep it for the darts, sick of shitty streams.
Have watched some international cricket recently, and some snooker on eurosport. Football I lose interest after twenty minutes.
Box sets is a great deal, add in Netflix and no need to buy dvds.
Im assuming they will have home tests next year.
Nothing better than a day off in front of the test match.

Re: cricket thread
Watched India v Sri Lanka and Bangladesh v South Africa.
Found streams for the bits of the ashes I've been around for but ball sports don't work as well on streams as darts which is easier to follow.
The days of tests on the beeb were great, until they fucked off to show horse racing and they came back to find two wickets had fallen.
Or of course the days where they only had fixed cameras at one end!

I think Cook's just passed his sell by date but is there anyone better at the moment?

Umps need to get serious and stamp it out, I think. Not sure what the laws say but I would imagine they can order the ball to be changed.
