Just wondering, does anyone know where I can watch Highlights of the England test cricket if I don't have Sky Sports.

They used to be on channel five but I don't know if/where they've been moved.

Much obliged :D

Sky forked out £300 million for the tv rights. Channel 5 only have highlights of the home games i think?

And so much for our national summer sport.
Just like our beloved country, cricket doesn't matter anymore.

Oh come on, judging by your previous you're a free market supporter surely? If you'd like to watch cricket you can pay for it, that's how supply and demand works ;)

The ECB need to make money so the TV revenue has to come from somewhere, do you suggest it should maybe subsidised so to remain on terestrial TV? Surely if we choose to pay for it directly by getting Sky then at least we have some choice in the matter.

Demand, what demand?
Wait until summer 2009.
The way things are spiralling downwards wait until season tickets for the next season's footie season go on sale. This season's alright, tickets have been bought in advance, but next season'll be a different ball game.

India vs England Highlights

Part two is probably the best of the action.

Enjoy, especially Keith who I know loves Cricket.
