One in the nuts for Mr.Murdoch.
 
That's brilliant news.
 
The Cricket, or the Murdoch thing? :-nutkick
 
It seems the government want to kick Rupee in the nuts cause Uncle Rupee has changed his alegence in his Sun newspaper.. to the Tori`s to win the next general election ..

Mr. Brown must have taken the hump with Rupee.. lol

Heard this on the radio today..
 
Don't think it's a done deal yet is it? You can guarantee that the ECB will fight it all the way, that's a lot of money to lose.

Sky could still buy the rights and put the matches out on Sky Sports News on the Freeview platform, so still retain the rights for highlights and be able to brand the matches heavily as publicity. Perhaps it could be a win win scenario.:)
 
Yes very good point Rolf I hadn't thought of that, note to self need to engage brain at some point today

No, not a done deal, but I do so wish you hadn't dented my hopes!

Keep positive and think "It will happen. It will happen" (ad inf)


On the flip side, I suspect te only "win win" scenario will be the Aussies recovering their little urn (I always thought it was Little Ern ............ )
