Or is that just an excuse because they knew what was coming and didn't want to spend the money?<br /><br />How long before they are putting in paltry bids for the rights to cover the England tests and limited overs matches?<br /><br />With the attitude, well if no one else bids we get it, if they do bid, then so what - we miss out and save cash.Dean @ Cricket Betting Bloghttp://www.cricketbettingblog.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152561140651435859.post-47574295497025200252011-10-08T17:11:50.553+01:002011-10-08T17:11:50.553+01:00Except Paddy Briggs, I can't see how the live ...Except Paddy Briggs, I can't see how the live streaming of the County matches cost very much. They sure as hell don't sound like they do. It's one of their charms.<br /><br />Besides, what should the licence fee be used for? If the BBC plans to behave like the commercial channels and just cover things that they would, that's the best reason of all for it not getting the licence fee.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152561140651435859.post-65891179632301515682011-10-08T16:20:19.545+01:002011-10-08T16:20:19.545+01:00The BBC has realised that domestic cricket in Engl...The BBC has realised that domestic cricket in England is moribund and broke. Why anyone would think our licence fees should be used to cover the County Championship is beyond me. An 18 county system is a grotesque, unaffordable anachronism. Cricket lovers should fight to create a proper domestic structure - eight teams about right - playing matches that count. The broadcasters would fight over one another to cover a proper competition. Don't live in the past.
