Another example of the media 'pushing' minority interest over that of the mainstream.
I think terrestrial channels are sticking two fingers up to cricket due to it being almost exclusively on SKY.

Very short sighted by cricket to not allow more access to the WC by a main channel,they are killing a generation of younger fans.

It could easily have been on BBC4 or ITV4 or the like on a +1 basis so there was a time delay compared to the SKY coverage.

The lack of foresight and nous by so called “executives” of sport and TV never ceases to amaze me.

An open goal missed .....Kanu style.
