I love having Sky especially the sports in HD, although a lad on work makes a good point. He does not have sky and admits his kids are missing out on watching sports and then wanting to go and try them or re-enact the moments they have seen. I remember going out after watching a moment of magic and going out and re-enacting them.

Wonder how many kids are missing out on seeing and trying a new sport and who knows, possibly making a career out of it.

great post. I still remember the 2005 series and the stunning images of hundreds of supporters locked out of the venues due to sold out tickets. So many clubs reported higher colt numbers and the parks were full of kids trying to emulate Freddie lol. Its a real shame, but I think cricket has got too big and expensive for the free channels like BBC, Channel4 and Five.

I preferred the Channel 4 coverage, Mark Nicholas was a small price to pay for not having to listen to Botham or Knight.

I may have to purchase sky sports for the Ashes if there isn't any other deals sorted out - Usually I steam stuff online, however for such a series it's definately worth the money consdiering we've got the HD package.

Don't know if anyone else has had an offer from Sky through but I have been offered Sky Sports for half price for 3 months (so �10 a month) so might be worth calling them and asking for the offer (think it ends 25th November and also can get Sky Movies half price for 3 months which is �8 a month). My wife couldn't have got me a better Xmas present, although once the Ashes are on she may not be so keen...
