Channel 4 Cricket starts Thursday

[James Vertigan]

Just so we don't have a repeat of last year, I'm posting this in advance and hope someone at NTL sees it!

Just to let NTL know that Channel 4's coverage of England's Test against New Zealand starts on Thursday, but will be sharing on SATURDAY afternoons with Channel 4 Racing, but as usual, the cricket will be available over on the main FilmFour channel. Please, if one of the NTL staff reads this, could you check that the main Filmfour channel is booked to be available to all viewers on Saturday and again on June 12th for the 3rd Test (2nd Test is being screened on Sky Sports).

Many Thanks.

We are set up for all of the dates that Channel 4 have sent us for this that run across the whole of the summer - I don't have them to hand, but it should be fine.

Whilst I like my football it is good to see that at least one other member of the forum has the good taste to enjoy the subtle nuances of Test cricket.
My favourite spectator sport.

oh yes, I don't know if it's because I 'did' rugby & cricket at school, rather than football, but I much prefer them.

Cricket is a fascinating game of strategy & skill, with moments of high drama & exitement. I do miss the BBC coverage, somewhat, mainly the commentary as I have to admit Channel 4's technical coverage & analysis, with hawkeye etc, is better. For that reason, I quite often have the radio commentary on & the tv volume muted

Many Thanks, Sam!
(Just to let people know, I believe the FilmFour cricket coverage is only available to NTL viewers on the Digital platform).

Ooh Yes, and rest assured I'll have the scones and clotted cream out! I, like many others love seeing a good old "countryside" game like cricket and seeing England beat the pants off other countries! I like the TV coverage offered by C4 & Sky (C4 preferably) but my favourite commentator has to be good old Blowers! Love the way he describes the scene to the radio listeners like "There goes the number 72 bus" just as someone is about to bowl, and the way he calls everyone "My dear old thing"...

Thank you,my husband has perked up at this news.

Incog.
