Stealing (News International) on the side...

...watching Flintoff ask DeVilliers serious questions in the hour up to lunch makes me realise how much I need to see the game. I took advantage of a (link) placed in the public domain, not by myself, I might add. Watching the third day's play.

I wouldn't buy satellite TV. The coverage of the game is great, but at the end of the day I am unemployed for part of the time. A cricket-only package would be great for me. I'd pay for that, (Skiee) or not.

The ‘cricket on terrestrial TV’ campaign has had its day. The (way in which I’m seeing this) has over 180,000 views. And it’s the future. The E(W)CB site allows people to view cricket, but only if they don’t live in the UK. Ridiculous.

South Africa now at England. 50 for 1, Michael Vaughan not happy at all, but at least they've not lost any more wickets.

Apparently it's very cold at Headingley. Ain't too hot here in the Big Smoke, either.

(spoke too soon - Vaughan just caught according to CMJ (on TMS - yes, I know...) but confirmed on the stream - for only 21 by Ntini... not good for his place in the team...)
