I refuse to pay Sky £36 per month to enable me to watch the cricket. I listen to Test Match Special instead. Radio 4 Long Wave or Five Live Extra

I was looking at ticket prices for the Test at the Oval ...  eeek: eeek:

All sold out anyway  ::)   But since it's only a stroll away I might try for a County game  whistle:

If you look around on the right websites you can probably find out how to access the live net footage of the matches. Sky tends to frown on it though.

Sod The Oval prices, any sunny Wednesday evening or late Sunday afternoons for the next few months I'm likely to be found sat outside enjoying village cricket

I really am not keen on this 20/20 nonsense. Cricket is about quiet reflection, contemplation, a doze in the afternoon sunshine, a good dinner in the pub at the end of a day. All this dashing about in pyjamas ~ might as well play baseball.  evil:
