Replay of game on Sky Open (free to air) from 8 to 10:30 p.m. (delayed by one hour). :thumbup: and ads every 10 minutes :thumbdown: Hmm. The TV guide I just looked at shows a 7pm start. As you rightly point out, it will be full of ads and probably end up running 30 minutes behind the love action by...

I must have missed that. Who were they booing? Anyone in an Oz uniform. Oh right. :uhoh: I couldn't hear a thing over the loud, overly talkative female commentator on TV who seemed insistent on over analysing every single aspect of the game from the batsman's technique to the bowlers action, to the...
