Six and Out - Some Serious Cricket

Keep Cricket Free

by SixandOut on April 14th, 2006

Consider this the first real abuse of my power as editor of this blog.If you’re a cricket fan, or a sports fan, or English, or hell, someone… please please please check out this site - Keep Cricket Free. As of 2006, all English Test Cricket will only be available on Sky - a pay-TV service. The question is not an “I hate Sky” argument, because I don’t, but it’s more of a cultural argument - national teams involved in sport should be on national television. Simple as that.

There’s an online petition you can sign (which I’m sure will do less than zilch, but do it anyway) and there’s lots of interesting information you can read. The important thing is that with cricket really beginning to take off in England again, it’s important that it’s not lost to Rupert Murdoch’s pocket.
