I agree entirely! What a waste of money buying these rights and then going to air at this rediculous hour. You can wait an hour and a quarter and watch the following day's play. The cretin that came up with this schedule should be sweeping up the corridors of the BBC not deciding when programmes go out. This is one of the reasons they lost the rights to show cricket inthe first place. Channel 4 were absolutely fantastic last year! I also agree with what you said about the d*ck head scorpio - obviously another cretin.

I'd heard that though the BBC won the rights to screen highlights there are contract stipulations that they have to abide by which restrict the times at which they are able to screen the highlights package ie after Skys own highlights programme (7-8pm)!!. Could be brought forward to the end of the Sky highlights programme, but the ideal would be first thing in the morning...

Don't blame anyone, not even Sky. No broadcaster wanted the rights to show oversea's tours live and never has. Sky are the only broadcaster to bring us live coverage from around the globe. We should all be thanking them not critisising. Do not confuse the overseas rights with the home agreement, it's a completely different topic.

Dont blame the BBC, blame the ECB for selling out all of England cricket coverage on TV to the highest bidder, thus ensuring that unless you fork out for Sky, then millions wont see any live test cricket on TV for the next five years.
Which means only fans will pay for it, which means cricket's popularity diminishes still further.

i think the beeb's hands are tied as sky has all the broadcasting rights which is a total disgrace.12 million watched the final test at the oval last yearon channel 4.this time about 3 million will be able to watch .

Ummmm... don't you think this might have something to do with Sky having the live coverage rights?
Maybe you should be asking the government why they allowed the Ashes rights to be sold off to subscription only TV (unlike the other sporting 'crown jewels', which have to be available on free-to-air by law) rather than slagging off the beeb.

Yes but Sky put in the higher bid,
In reply to monkey, well let me think, who outside of England would want to watch the Ashes series, The Welsh ( it is an England -Wales side), The Aussies, India, Pakistan, West indies, South Africa............... Need I go on?.

It's actually a matter of their priorities, seeing that there are so many other channels for "live" and "highlights"!
