Still no T.V/Sky deal has been agreed for the India tour yet :x  .Perhaps its me being cynical because Sky's commitment to Englands over-seas tours has been great,but because they have all the rights to the home series ,now maybe they aren't so bothered about spending the money,its only five million ffs! Anyway at least its going to be on the radio  |

when is the first test
Next week,the first of March,not long to go now  The Indian squad is announced tommorrow.And strangely i feel quite excited about our chances. A couple of weeks ago the Indian board sold they T.V rights for a huge amount of cash,so this company have to recoup the money back by charging more than usual.There are other t.v stations in the frame,but unfortunately they are Indians ones which you'd have to pay extra for :-))( If Sky do get the rights though[please],the commentary team could be different,no Bumble  On the plus side no Bob  |

:x Just heard on Talk sport,that a t.v company called Nimbus has the rights,so they have sold the test series to Setanta [sp?]. £150.00 to watch it,Radio Four it is for me then.The only plus point at Sky not showing it is that we will be spared another dodgy theme tune,the music that they had for the Pakistan tour got on my wick. There is still a chance that Sky might put in a late bid though. |

Yes,that will be why they shelled out a load of money for the rights to show all Englands home series for the next four years :-))( |

It is a disgrace that some Aussie has been allowed to buy (and sell at a premium price) any of England's games. It all seems to be about the money now. It could have been OK if they had made more on the TV deal, and then given it back in terms of cheap tickets to tests to increase accessibility, but they haven't. It is now upwards of £50 for a day at Lords. Nonsense.

Normally i'd agree,but its the cricket ffs.One of the only joys in my sad little life Being woken up at 4.30 by Sir Geoff will bring me some comfort though http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/indveng/content/current/story/238314.htmlPersonally i don't give a flying fuck who the commentary team is,that is just a piss poor excuse for not getting the rights :roll: ,in fact it would make a nice change to listen to some other blokes for a change. |
