Shame it's on BT sports which I don't have. How do sky not have it and yet have other test and ODI's from England. The build up seems a bit chippy but there's always that way as long as I've been watching Cricket.

Ah yeah the first ball which nearly missed the slips. That 2005 series though was superb.

For the insomniacs among us, BBC Test Match Special (some of the finest radio commentary of its genre, imho) will be must listen radio. I have it on the Podcast Republic app but I think there may be other ways to listen to it.

Spent that summer glued to the radio writing a master's thesis, it was brilliant sport.

That was the first Ashes test series I'd watched live and maybe I was spoiled but my god it was magical stuff.

Yep. I'm listening to the build up now. I think Cricket is better on the radio than the TV.

Cricket is a sport best watched on the radio
