it is an indisputable fact that in cricket you immediately become a much better player when you aren't playing. This just makes it official

Just seen this frippery on Twitter:

"Your West Indian fast bowler name is the last seaside town you visited and the surname of the US president when you were born."

I am, disappointingly, Mersea Reagan

great Sky sports are stop showing india home games and possibly IPL.

british indian fans are going back to the dark days when Asian channel are showing india home games.

Although we not even getting that now either, no all india home games + IPL are on Hotstar, star subscription service.

Not a big fan of this, if india goes out of Sky then no Asian games will be shown on normal tv unless england play.

Mersea Reagan sounds more like a female US daytime tv news magazine anchor.

Surprisingly can't remember last time I went to the coast... which is frustrating. Possibly Weymouth Kennedy.

Very odd. I thought Sky must get a lot of subscriptions through covering India games.

When I stopped subscribing they seemed to be covering fewer NZ and WI home games. Which were good to watch in UK time, for part of the play at least. Suppose hardly anyone is watching.
