Re: The Ashes 2009
 

All over. England win!!

Re: The Ashes 2009
 

There coming home...The Ashes are back in England one more time!!!

Re: The Ashes 2009
 

Yessss :D
A bit worrying at a couple of points but got there in the end :)

Re: The Ashes 2009
 

Its a pity that they haven't been live on BBC/Channel4 this year, Sky Sports take all the decent sports but I don't want to have to pay stupid amounts every month for the odd sport I'm interested in.

Get in...:drunk: :Yes: :clap: :)

Re: The Ashes 2009
 

Brilliant!!

Whoever says Test cricket is dead, is a fool.

Re: The Ashes 2009
 

You are sooo right!

Re: The Ashes 2009
 

Test cricket may not be 'dead', but it is increasingly irrelevant to those of us who decline the 'privilege' of paying to watch it on Sky Sports.

Well done to the England team, of course, but highlights on Channel 4 don't substitute for watching the ebb & flow of a game, as it happens. For those of us refusing to line Murdoch's pockets it seems that won't change - shame ...

Re: The Ashes 2009
 

I agree homealone... I dont want to pay murdoch to watch test cricket alone. It was far better when Test Cricket was on Ch4 :)

Re: The Ashes 2009
 

At least TMS is still there - they create a fine atmosphere :)

Re: The Ashes 2009
 

Cricket on CH4 was a waste of time.They altered the start time,if they played late to make up time than come seven o clock they put the news on.Saturday afternoon cricket alternated with the racing[unless you had Film4]
The high lites programmer came on at midnight plus.
To televise cricket correctly you need a dedicated sports channel.
Sky do an excellent job putting cricket on TV.I know it costs,but if you want quality you have to pay for it

Re: The Ashes 2009
 

I'm not saying they don't do a good job - I'm saying, Would you pay for Sky Sports if you only wanted to watch Cricket once a year and nothing else? Because I wouldn't (don't) as I think its a bit of a waste of money!

Re: The Ashes 2009
 

You could probably subscribe for the month or so the cricket is on and just cancel the subscription when it's not on? It's a bit of a hassle but it's probably worth it to see England beat the Aussies :D

Re: The Ashes 2009
 

Yeah I suppose so - I've just kept live scores with the ECB Cricket App on iPhone :) I might consider subscribing next year...
