Digital sky is $25 a month at the mo for me, with an annual subscription.

What is this of which you speak? I have satellite sky and sky now, or whatever they call it.

What chanels do you get? I pay significantly more but would like to be down to $50 and still have all of my sports.

I know that we are a bit off topic, sorry, but it is relevant to anyone who wants the "summer of cricket".

I've got Sky Sport Now. Has all the sky sport channels digitally.

$40 a month with no contract. I bought a 12 month pass for $299, which was about $25/month. Now it's $33 a month if you buy an annual pass. Basically, if you won't watch for 10 weeks of the year, just buy 'as needed'.

Quality is sound. I like the delayed view - once a programme finishes you can watch it on demand (up to 24 hours old - but they usually have replays... or you can YouTube/torrent as alternatives). Unpublicised feature - if you're watching on your computer and not casting, you can go back up to 2 hours from 'live'. Useful for NFL -- get it startded on delay, then just skip ads when they come on. I use an HDMI cable to my receiver to do it... it's great.

Happy to answer any questions, or feel free to PM me if you like.

@Chris-B. NZ Pitches are not prepared in a way that benefits spinners so their primary role is containment and variety as an extra. I think Santner fulfils that role well without any world class tweaker around. Great fieldsman and excellent running between wickets as well as a highly adaptive batsman.
Sitting outside Bay Oval watching my son play right now. The place is abuzz with activity. Hope the sun shines tomorrow and I can go. Won't be buying spark sport.

@Chris-B he’s still a ‘bits and pieces’ all rounder to me although he does do a job in the short forms.

I honestly don't know: why do we field a cricket team minus the team's best batsman and the best bowler?
I hope to God it's injuries and not an obsession with resting fit young men who do nothing else with their lives other than get paid handsomely to play sport.

Or is Fozzie on a coaching combo deal to free up some cash?

Yes, Satnav prevailed in the end but by christ his batting is the equivalent of Jordie Barrett playing right wing!
He's got one shot, and anything pitched up, he doesn't hit at all properly. A bowler only. A good one too

[Bovidae]

@Siam For Boult, they also wanted to give him some time with his wife and young kids, who he hadn't seen since before the IPL. Like Williamson and the others, he only got out of MIQ on Thu.

[Duluth]

Reasonable start but two new batsman now

NZ 55/2 after 6.4

[ARHS]

Rather dark here too. Light meters later?

[Canes4life]

Glen Phillips is going gang busters. 56 off 23 balls, just hit 3 6s in a row.

Conway playing the anchor role nicely once again.

Score update: 140/2 (13.2)

[ARHS]

Rain almost stopped as covers came on. Sky moving fast. Hopin for beach weather in a few minutes. Much lighter already

[Kruse]

Shit... didn't realise this was on.
Anybody know which country would have this available to stream for frees?
Hypothetically - if I was considering moving there in order to get access to watch the crucket.

Glenn Phillips scores the fastest T20 100 by a NZ. 45 balls, looked great doing it - a life off a no ball full toss, but genuinely power hitting.

Conway at the other end looks great as well. Lazy sunday on the couch

Just got home to switch on. These two boys are going off

[canefan]

Is Phillips an opener? An innings like this must put pressure on Guppy and Munro

[ARHS]

Second best ton I have seen live (tim seiffert best) . Great partnership. Glad I brought suntan lotion now.

[canefan]

That Conway has hit the ground running. Two innings, two decent scores, looks pretty calm

Did his knee buckle again? I’ve only seen highlights?

Some problem with his knee cap popping out. Hopefully not a chronic issue

[ACT Crusader]

One to tell the grandkids aye, I scored the fastest NZ T20 ton and my knee cap fell out

8 years without it happening, then twice in trhee days. Damn.

[ARHS]

He got out the ball after it did. Shame. Geez Conway looks confident and competent and is a hare between the wickets
