    That's God's own truth.
    Test Cricket, or one day County Cricket.

    Cricket & TV have never really mixed, especially nowadays in this pay-per-view stat-obsessed computer graphic overlay visual puke we have to endure.
    The Golden Age was surely to be there, maybe listening to the commentary on your radio.

    When I started going in the very early 80's it was great, county cricket Thursday to Monday, with the John Player on a Sunday. Each county seemed to have around 3 or 4 out grounds for festivals, these were very popular as making a change going to the County HQ.
    20/20 came in and ripped the a*** out of things and stopped becoming a spectator sport, especially for the purists who did not all the 'glitz' that came with it.

    Under 10's football.
    You couldn't show it on telly these days of course, but I'm sure we all remember participating and watching during our schooldays.

    22 kids scampering around after a football like iron filings chasing a magnet <laugh>
    Bit like the Checkatrade group stages.
    Better for them than Grand Theft Auto though.
