I have taken the day off today, going down to the Trafford Centre soon to do all my Christmas shopping in one go.

However, I have just had an enjoyable morning watching the 1st test from South Africa courtesy of Sky. In fact Sky have been covering overseas tests for 15 years now, the BBC and Channel 4 are not interested, coverage is very good, you do not miss a single ball. The fact is that for mad keen cricket fans Sky has been the only option for years. Perhaps someone in terrestial/freeview TV ought to start a dedicated sports channel.
