I wouldn't be surprised if there are others like me who use it to dip in and out of Sky's coverage. I think it's wonderful, as in my current domestic circumstances I would not be in the position to purchase a Sky subscription, but I am very happy to splash out on one of the Now TV passes (day, week or month) as circumstances dictate and it allows me to watch a bit of live cricket, which I was denied between the end of the 2005 Ashes and the 2013 season. |

The ratings for the final are a bit higher than thought - ITV Media is reporting 1,123,000 - reason for difference may be because ITV Media is reporting a 2pm programme start (whereas I thought it was meant to be 1.30pm?).
Anyway it's interesting to note how the cricket did against Sky's other sport: ICC World T20 Final (2pm) - 1,123,000 (8.3%) Super Sunday - Leicester/Southampton (12.30pm) - 955,000 (10.6%) Super Sunday - Man Utd/Everton (3.30pm) - 843,000 (5.6%) Bahrain Grand Prix (3.30pm) - 605,000 (4.1%) From 3.30pm to 6.30pm all 3 events were running simultaneously (ie T20, Man Utd/Everton and F1) - thus for those 3 hours the combined total average audience would have been a bit above 2.6m (given the cricket would have rated higher post 3.30pm than its overall average). http://www.itvmedia.co.uk/ |

Would be interesting to see a peak figure - given that the cricket ended (with the dramatic final over) after both the PL and F1 had finished. http://f1broadcasting.co/ |

It was definitely a 1.30pm programme start - ITV Media are clearly wrong about the start time of the slot.

Not a huge fan of the new IPL graphics far too much information displayed that can distract you from the action

http://glamorgancricket.com/live/index.html Looks like the same company that provide the coverage at Trent Bridge. Maybe they could pull the camera back a wee bit to show more of the outfield; but it's excellent that you can see it alongside a scoreboard. A+!!

Going back to Cricket, has Rob Key retired, as if he is still playing shouldn't he be getting ready for the season, rather than working for Sky. Rob is good, and would love to see him more during there coverage, throughout the summer I hope sky now promote him to the international roster. |

Key is clearly the best they have outside of the Test team. Not sure there is a spot right now but if Holding doesn't renew his contract then Key is next in line for me. The big question is does Key jump over Knight to get a Test spot?

Is there room for another voice on the test coverage? Not so sure. Domestic for now surely?

Font on IPL graphics appears to have changed slightly to make them much more readable.
Not sure when change was made - I noticed it yesterday but hadn't seen any IPL for several days so it may have happened earlier. |

Shame Rob Key has retired but he is a good commentator.
I can't see him breaking into the Main Test Comm Team, but if a Commentator can't do a test for any reason, I'm guessing he would be the next call. Can see him doing a lot of the County games, I'd be surprised if he didn't cover there first Game a week on Sunday, it's getting close now. |
