Its my understanding denphone re-the sky deal that the BBC did not even bother with a TV tender citing the cuts,ITV did not bother or anybody else so Giles Clarke did not have any bids apart from skys!!!!for the cricket coverage.
I am a bit concerned that there was no serious attempt to get say 20/20 live on terrestrial TV, but i think sky want all domestic coverage live for their money its all or nothing.
Which in my view could be bad for the longer state of the game but only time will tell on that one,i note this year 20/20 has been cut back in the domestic game with my county Essex getting 2 less games.
Personally i am not keen on Giles Clarke i remember when he tried to sell out our game to thet nice american chap whose name escapes me.
