Definitely, Delta. I do sometimes put youtube on, listen to some music, whilst watching. Same goes for the Football.

If Blowers gets on Sky the cameras will just focus on pigeons and double decker buses instead of the game.

As someone who has Sky and sometimes listens to TMS, I hope Vaughan stays with TMS but happens not to be on commentary when I tune in. Chances are though, it'd either be him or Blofeld, the world's worst commentator on anything.

The guests on CWOTV made me feel i was looking into a snake pit. At least the reptilian eyed Pringle wasn't invited. David Icke would have been beside himself.

Before I stopped following football, I was the opposite. I could listen to it, but not watch it. Alan Green apart of course.

Did anyone notice the number of times they mentioned X-Factor on the programme this week?

Not seen X-Factor, so can't suggest anything. But if it goes to a public vote, we might get KP back.

Anticipating this, Paul Downton has already been busy on his mobile phone.

Me neither. From what I've read it seems perfectly execrable.

Yes, possible, but it'd say more about the voting public than Pietersen or the ECB.

Nice appraisal of the great radio commentator Jim Maxwell. Certainly one of my picks for an all time radio team.

Very good piece on Maxwell. Reminds me of "the greatest" --- being an Englishman that is John Arlott of course. They don't make them like they used to.

Alan McGilvray for me. Vic Marks as the expert.

At long last I can now get access to cricket and all UK tv/radio when I'm abroad. After a lot of research, I finally I purchased a VPN for 4.95 per month from http://www.privateinternetaccess.com and it works pretty well - can access my Sky Go account at home as well as BBC and ITV Iplayers and BT Sport. Can hook my laptop to the TV via HDMI cable as and when I wish.

Early days but good so far.
