2005 cricket was massive in England as it was on Channel 4 and could be watched by almost all the country. It Was being talked about by almost the whole country and there was such a massive uptake of youth playing the game.

Fast forward 12 years and it's a struggle to find many people that have any interest in even talking about cricket and participation levels are down as well.

Cricket needs to be on free to air in some capacity to grow!

Me to! Not seen this but seems like a good idea especially for cricket

Who you support?

I'm a Yankee fan, not the most original choice but they were the first team I saw live.

The At Bat app is great!

MLBAM, is something else though, years ahead of others in the space. We will be waiting a while a cricket version of the app! let alone a version that supports FC cricket.

Looking at the pricing arrangement I think many people will just keep all the channels.

£18 for one, £22 for two, £26 for three or £27.50 for them all.

I tried to work out how much i currently pay for sports to see if this is worth it but found it quite confusing as my bill says Sky Q Bundle with Cinema and Sports - £80. I guess it could vary but does anyone know how much the full sky sports costs currently?

Don't know how much full price Sky costs, but who pays full price anyway?

I pay £19/Month for basic package & Sky Sports...

I would definitely drop it down to just Sky Cricket if the price difference made sense though.
