NZ v WI second Test match will be screened live on Sky.  Apparently they've
noticed that one or two punters are interested.

But where is the oval ball?  Where are the extra four players?  Why is the
goal so short, and why are there three posts?  Why is the halfback wearing
gloves?  Why is England playing England, and in trousers?  Where are the
players that can be tackled without getting injured?

As a regular view of sky sport, I just don't understand this new code.

That's about as much a signal for disaster as Scott Styris getting
selected. Whenever Sky pull their finger out because NZ has been
doing well while they've been playing the world wife carrying
championships the NZ team always goes to pieces and loses
embarrassingly while the horrified fans at home watch. This
game is over. I'm praying for rain. I pick an innings and
150 win to the Windies despite fighting innings of 112 and
65 by Matt Horne.

Market research has revealed that hospital shows rate well in Kiwiland. Add
a reality tv component to this and you can see where Sky is coming from.
Like, promo; "Who'll leave the house/team tonight?" Blimey, if you could add
interactive betting to the mix this could be a real winner for Sky.
"Astle: Odds of finishing Test 3/1. Odds of being mauled by polar bear in
Antigua, 16/1." Endless possibilities.
