What a great win by England yesterday. That was more like it.

Congrats to England but I'm afraid, I don't seem to be getting up much interest in this series and am beginning to wonder if it's a more general loss of interest.

I think I could do with one of the free to view channels providing some live coverage.

It would be good if cricket was on freeview, even though I have sky sports.

I think our national teams in our national games - cricket, footbal and rugby (both codes) - should always be on free-to-air channels.

I'm fortunate enough to be able to afford Sky, but a lot of people aren't, and its very unfair if they're precluded from seeing international games simply because they can't afford to pay for a service over and above their TV Licence Fee.

I must confess I am not the tv licence payer in this house and that the lack of Sky is down to a) not wishing to support pay per view and b) not wishing to give money to Murdoch.

That said, even if our attitudes changed or we succumbed to Sky, I would want these international games on free-to-air for all to see.
