Switched on the TV..holding my breath...cloudy skies weakens the signal to my dish, especially on C4...
but it's coming through sharp and clear.
First cricket I'll be watching since 2005 and the subsequent pathetic sell-out to Sky. Can't wait.
Hope you get good signal on More 4 too as coverage switches over there when the British Grand Prix is on.
@Chizz Thanks, mates, checked it, all good. Sun is out here now, so signal will be fine.
I use Freesat, so no Sky at all. That's why the last time I saw that bastard Shane Warne on my TV, he had the ball in his hand and I was in a state of continuous low level panic :-)
Why not just watch a stream? Plenty of them around. Vipbox.tv and cricfree.sx just to name a few
The picture is back now, and the storm looks like it was just a passing squall. Streams are usueful when all else fails but all that battling with the "adverts" bugs me. I also need to have another word with my VPN provider, as I ought to be able to watch C4 on the web.
Pity we didn't get a wicket while I was knocked out... starting to fret a bit...
I can remember watching this game myself and was of a similar age as the writer.
Blimey how things have changed though. I'd completely forgotten that Clive Lloyd scored a 100 playing against Lillee and Thompson without a helmet...and wearing glasses.
That's a really nice piece. I remember the feeling of absolute unfairness that England weren't in the Final.
Really? I cannot imagine that anyone who remembers the 1975 World Cup ever wore a helmet whilst playing club cricket. Do you really remember? Why would you feel an injustice? Gary Gilmour stuffed us, with bat and ball. How old are you? Who did you play cricket for?

Unfair, because, as a kid, I was desperate to be able to see my team in the works cup final. Things often seem unfair when you're a kid!
I'm sorry that you can't imagine someone who remembers the 1975 World Cup wearing a helmet in club cricket. That's very weird. When do you think club cricketers started wearing helmets?
