Not for me, Sky/BT do a much better job with the presenting and overall package, if you don't have Sky/BT just stream them onlineCallumcafc said:Ashes need protected status and should be back on terrestrial TV. End of.

But surely if you are picking the best ever you pick the best keeper available. You've got the best batsmen you don't need another one at No.7addickfanatic said:Even though I was a big Knott fan, Gilchrest would shade it for me. Not as good a keeper, but what a batsman. Watched him dismantle a good South African attack at Newlands a week after hitting a run a ball 200 a week earlier. Also unusually for a modern cricketer, an Australian at that,he would walk when he nicked it.
If it was down just to pure keeper I’d go Bob Taylor or Jack Russel as the two best I’ve seen, even ahead of Knotty. I still consider Knotty the 3rd best I’ve seen and would choose him ahead of those two for his batting, as England did with Taylor. So I’m sticking with Gilly on the same principle.

I’m just hoping it lasts my lifetime. It’ll be a T20 Ashes before you know it. The first competitive T10 is being launched this winter. T5 will be on the horizon.Callumcafc said:Ashes need protected status and should be back on terrestrial TV. End of.

Not sure I agree with that, BT are awful IMO. Having said that, that's not an opinion based on any cricket coverage.Pelling1993 said:

BT will only be showing C9 coverage with their own audio feed, they haven't got their own production company. C9 are very good, they invented modern cricket TV from back in the WSC days of the late 70's.cafcfan1990 said:

@SoundAsa£ if my dad was still around he’d probably say the same about Godfrey Evans, so I’d really be in troubleSoundAsa£ said:

A fair few guesses 87, one or two of the new ones tripped me. I wonder if the Aussies do a similar thing with our squad?0
