One of the side effects of having sports across different networks in a small country.
Also consider that Sky has given Ian Jones two decades worth of work.
Amazing.
Not wanting to be mean, but .....

@Bovidae "Ian Smith should be enjoyed while he's still around ….few carry the weight of Smith's".
Ignoring the fact that the article is actually wrong i.e. Smith's perfectly capable of cheerleading what's truly remarkable is the guy's longevity given he's been advised to change his lifestyle to extend his innings but can't help gourmandising on the Sky expense account.
They say TV makes you look fatter. Having seen Smithy in the flesh only a few months ago he's obviously the exception to the rule.
The headline is accurate but sadly for all the wrong reasons.

I haven't used Spark Sport since the RWC but as expected they will be increasing their monthly price from $19.99/month to $24.99/month on 4 September unless you have a Spark mobile or broadband plan, where you get a $5 monthly credit automatically applied to your Spark bill.

I find it strange that they are persevering with sports streaming when they have bailed on entertainment streaming ( selling Lightbox to Neon).
The content battle for sports is even harder.Maybe because they want to continue to cock block Vodafone?

Has anyone seen any recent news on how Spark Sport is tracking? The article below is from last month, but was the first sign of some possible change
It'll be interesting to see how many do sign up for the cricket. I'm holding out till the last possible minute... (free to air on Friday night, at the ground yesterday, I almost hit "add Spark Sport" tonight until I saw the rain resume outside
). I'll cave eventually and sign up, but I wonder how many people won't...
Analyst sees Spark-Sky deal as 'first white flag'
"The start of a way out for Spark," one analyst says. The telco responds.

No interest is signing up. Not worth the money for me when I have Sky Sport. I can get my cricket fix from the radio, going to games and Sky still have BBL and Aussie cricket. The Windies and Pakistan rarely put on good shows. The Aussies are the only interesting challenge for this summer.

For some reason I always look forward to the cricket season compared to the start of the rugby season.
I have avoided but will definitely join as I want to be able to watch the test match starting Thursday!

I think the casting vote at our place will be the six year old expecting to see the Black Caps rather than Oz (for five minutes, before he runs out to the front garden to start his own game).

@Donsteppa I signed up yesterday ahead of the test which meant I was able to watch mighty Fulham down Leicester
- although TBH that meant I watched a few minutes here and there. Was good to watch te last 10 live though. Quality was good -
holy crap, Martin Stewart has resigned at Sky and heading back to europe.
Pity, he seemed to be moving the business forward, and actually doing some effective things.
