Indeed for those that cannt afford sky sports, radio five live cover the England cicket team abroad including ashes tours live,as well as various other sports excellent value imo.

I think it could be very much that sky still want to keep it pretty much exclusive so are probably still overpricing it,rather then anything to do with VOD rights,i doubt the discussions have not even reached any talks on VOD(or even VM getting it at all) .
