England in South Africa

[Seatherny]

England did well and won the series. They couldn't lose anyway. I think SA have started relying too much on their captain. Their problem is that if the captain goes, the other batsmen get under pressure and fail. However if the captain is still there or does really well, the other batsmen have less pressure and do well.

England's next series: England in Bangladesh, Feb - Mar 2010

England in Bangladesh never gets TV coverage, will it this year? :/

[Seatherny]

India vs SL, and the current Australia series (I think its that one) are getting it, so I don't see why England's wont.

[StefanWolves]

Last England series in Bangladesh didn't get shown on Sky. Sky are only showing the Windies, Pakistan and India, because a lot of people with those countries backgrounds live in this country and view Sky Sports.

[Seatherny]

Indeed but I think they will show it this time. They have started showing more cricket lately, so lets just hope.

[StefanWolves]

Yeah they are pouring a huge amount of money into other Sports like cricket and rugby which is good, although I would like more football like Sky Italia gets, more boxing wouldn't go a miss either... but I suppose we can't have it all.

Wouldn't mind the BBC & ITV and ESPN picking up more cricket & rugby though, especially ITV and BBC picking up more football/boxing. I don't like how BSkyB have a sort of Monopoly in the UK when it comes to football, rugby, boxing and cricket broadcasting nowadays.

[Seatherny]

They are considering giving the Ashes abck to terrestrial channels.

[StefanWolves]

They're not considering, but they may be made too by the Government.
