Re: Cricket
I was also in the garden, watching the test match on my iPad using the Sky Sports app and keeping an eye on Le Tour, FI and the ladies at the same time.

Re: Cricket
If you already have Virgin Media it doesn't cost anything, how much cheaper than that can you get?

Yes multiple devices do help as we often find in our household especially at weekends.

Re: Cricket
Often true that low scoring ODI,s are more entertaining.
Well played England Women, new world champions. 
That said I think I could set a decent field at this level. 85% of scoring shots came from across the line mows into the leg side.
