Apparently TNT Sports are likely to once more secure the TV r4ights for
this winter's Ashes series. I don't know whether there will be any >highlights packages viewable elsewhere, but judging by last time I
suspect not.
A TNT Sports subscription comes in at u30 a month, or u20 if you have
BT or EE broadband, which unless you're prepared to sit up for most of
the night to watch the coverage seems poor value. However it appears
that if you have an Amazon Prime subscription you can add a Discovery+ >Premium subscription (which includes TNT Sports) for u13 a month. I'd
been thinking of getting an Amazon Prime subscription anyway, as I'd
save the postage costs on the stuff I buy from Amazon and so it might
pretty much pay for itself.
that if you have an Amazon Prime subscription you can add a Discovery+ >>Premium subscription (which includes TNT Sports) for -u13 a month. I'd

To clarify, the -u13 includes the cost of the Amazon Prime subscription
as well as the Discovery+ one..

do you have to sign up for a year/18 months or can you cancel after a
couple of months [if england lose the 1st 2 tests in the usual miserable >fashion, that will prob be enough for me ;(]

radio, but i spose thats going to talk shite again.

I don't know. That's something I need to check up on. If you can
subscribe monthly, then the Tests are packed together closely enough
that two months would probably cover all five matches.

Probably, but I haven't investigated that.
Evening John.
Apologies for missing your 150th birthday...
Anyhoo, if you've got a VPN you can probably stream the Arses from
some Oz site. Unfortunately, you'd have to endure some Oz
commontaters...
Speaking of comms, the crew that we're getting for the Eng v Ind
series are very good. Athers, Nas et al.
If only they could swap out Mel Jones for Isa, or even a store
mannequin, it'd be even better...

Cheeky! I was born within a few weeks either way of the Invincibles
setting sail from England back to Australia.

Somerset CCC's 150th birthday is coming up on the 18th though.
Sadly it looks like they won't be celebrating by winning their first CC >after drawing with Notts. Even if Surrey lose either or both of their >remaining home matches to Warwicks (3rd) and Notts (2nd), it'll be very >tough for Somerset to overtake all 3 of them.
