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.

I think I may have misjudged Sky, having just taken on the Sky Sports package I must admit I like the treatment of the current Test, England & South Africa, having had a quick look at work. It is sad that now Test cricket is lost to terrestrial services.

The shame I think is that the BBC which has the infrastructure and resources has failed to create a sports channel but then it can't compete with the mega pounds offered by Sky.
