Test Cricket to move to Foxtel from FTA?
Looks like CA may have to turn to Foxtel for TV rights to test matches in Australia ( excluding Ashes ).The FTA channels are not happy with the price demanded by CA and the poor viewing figures. The current Nine deal expires this year with CA looking at a new deal for $500m over 5 years.

Anything to get it away from Channel 9. Maybe Foxtel will realise that there's 2 teams in a game.

No, but according to their names, they must be poms. Can anybody understand them?

Plenty good ones over time.
All those mentioned good and I'll add Bill & Tony (Greig and Cozier) to the mix. For a bit of extra value and laugh, toss in Boycott and O'Keeffe.

How do you know he was perfext when you haven't heard people I consider to be better?Wayne Kerr wrote:God is an Englishman wrote:So you've never even listened to them but you think benaud was the best ever?

That's like watching me play football and saying I'm the best in the world without watching Messi play.
Benaud was a good presenter, not a good commentator and a prick of a person.

I don't understand what perfext means.
You are not a good player let alone compared to Mess's right boot.
Many say your a prick.

And benaud was not a good commentator compared to the names i mentioned but you wouldn't know because, like a typical aussie, you made a baseless blanket statement about the aussie being the best.
Many say benaud was a prick, I'm sure he didn't care either.

I met Richie in the lifts at AO, during the Domestic OD final. Was a lovely chat for the journey.God is an Englishman wrote:And benaud was not a good commentator compared to the names i mentioned but you wouldn't know because, like a typical aussie, you made a baseless blanket statement about the aussie being the best.
