Currently staying somewhere that has SKY, so I was looking forward to watching the Test. But, its only on ****ing BT, and all I get is 'upgrade your SKY subscription' The reason I cancelled SKY at home was because they switched the cricket to another pay channel without telling anyone. I found out when I got up in the middle of the night to watch the Ashes a few years back and couldn't access it. I'd cancelled it before breakfast same day. I thought it was back on SKY now??
I just fail to see why you have to pay extra to watch the national team playing, what I consider playing the national sport ( alongside football obviously) on the telly.
So I've seen about two balls of this Test on the late night BBC news.
Missed a classic by the sounds of it and I know at least one Hull City stalwart who flew out to NZ to watch this series, he told me he was taking his Hull City flag, anyone see it?
Sweet revenge for the World Cup for the Kiwis.

i sympathise. i was watching the score on cricinfo, so not the best way.
 
Yeah, after watching the first two sessions of day one til gone 3 and suffering for it, I was determined not to be tempted last night. I kept bloody waking up every half hour (initially, but later on was just snoozing for a few minutes) checking the score on my laptop which I had upstairs. May as well have bloody stayed up and watched it.

First ODI in Bangladesh, Eng chasing 210, under pressure at 62/3 on a turning pitch with uneven bounce.
 
Eng 113/5. Bowler Taskin bowling from the 'Mr White Detergent Powder' end. Snappy name...:emoticon-0102-bigsm
 
161/7, enough overs left but running out of batters. Malan still there, up to him now.

Steady away today.
Roy gets his 100 at about a run a ball.

Like to see them put their foot down now and aim for 280+ total.

They did indeed and got 40 more than that, easily defending 326. Curran and Rashid (again) the pick of the bowlers with 4 wickets each.

Impressive series win. Bangladesh are certainly not the whipping boys they used to be, particularly at home, and this is their best format

i'm not really a fan of t20, but i can see that it's carrying over to other formats in interesting ways.

that said, viewers might be interested by the closing overs of an ipl game a few days ago.

kolkotta knight riders needed 205 to beat gujarat titans.

they needed 50 off the last 4 overs

the next over began with a hat-trick.

they needed 48 off 3 overs.

then they needed 39 off 8 deliveries.

this is the commentary on the innings; you'll see the good bits if you scroll back to the 15th over, though you'll get some clues while scrolling...
