If that is the case and I don't see why it would be anything else that it's Virgin's fault we don't get to see this.
I think I may have to email the Exec office for an actual reply on this matter as I feel cricket is getting a bum deal here.
If there was an official statement from Virgin saying we can only supply what Sky give us then I would be frustrated that Virgin couldn't sort out a proper deal with Sky instead of the half assed one they have but at least would know where I stood.

A few months ago about two and a half to be precise i emailed the ceos office with the Neil Berkett email address,to my surprise i recieved a phone call from them about the red button issue regarding cricket,at that stage sky had shown two red button cricket matches,that were not available to vms sky sports customers,the lady who phoned was not sure but said she would phone me back which she did during the course of our conversation into why we had not got the two cricket matches from the West Indies v India recent series she said,"we can only show what sky give us" and obviously at that point sky chose not to give the two said cricket matches on the red button.
I suspect the reason VM have seemingly made no official statement is because they know what i do ie VM have a watered down version of sky sports red button,which i suppose sky said to vm take it or leave it,mind you the last bit is only my opinion.
You are welcome to try emailing them and see what they say to you,i will though give the lady who phoned me full marks for her honesty,as it was at that point i knew what we could maybe excpect.
