Looks like channel 4 have won the rights to the England v India series.

TBF they didn't do a bad job last time. Depends what they're showing. Is it the full game or highlights show?

Full transmission, all the tests, one dayers and T20s. Most start at 4 a.m. so ideal for insomniacs!

3/4 of the tests are 4 o’clock everything else starts no earlier than 8am. They will show everything live direct from the host broadcaster with a couple of people in a studio providing analysis during breaks in play. Don’t know why sky didn’t just do that for Sri Lanka instead of trying to commentate over the feed.

Glad to see it back on free to air TV.

Sir Alastair Cook and Sir Andrew Strauss get to front the coverage, leaving (Sheffield Wednesday fan) Michael Vaughan to do the radio.
Cookie does a really good job on TMS (along with all that time he spent playing for England). I spend most of my day on the phone to India and now we're working from home, this will be a real distraction and won't interfere with the football. Brilliant :)

I agree, there needs to be something done about the Sky/BT Monopoly. Glad to see Amazon get in on the act although I've found some of their streaming a bit blurry/blocky at times. It will be interesting to see if Google and facebook start to bid on sport and stream it. They could be big players, as practically everyone between the ages of 5 and 60 will have a device they can stream on.
