Just wondering, when did Sky first start showing live test cricket from overseas not involving England?

    They've just shown a whole series that barely involved England - I think they called it The Ashes or somesuch. :D

    West Indies v Australia in the spring on 1991. The Windies won the series 2-1, en route to England for the series there (which ended 2-2).

    Anyone know when Sky first showed Australia's home matches over Xmas (relaying Channel 9's coverage)?

    Excluding the Ashes.

    Winter 97/98. It was two three test series v New Zealand pre Christmas and South Africa over Christmas/New Year before the World Series Cup involving the three nations in January/February.
