cricket highlights
 

there don't seem to be any highlights for the 1st Test out in the West
Indies

anyone got any clues why?

and why can't Sky produce a nice handy 45 minute package like terrestrial
used to do when they could afford to buy the rights?

C4 apparently considered bidding for highlights - but the Sky price for the
package was assumed to be too high, given that the match itself goes on until
well into the evening so would be prime time viewing for any cricket fans, and
Sky didn't want someone showing highlights so soon after for a cheap price.

So us Sky Sports viewers got to see them bowl out WI this morning exclusively
