It was meant to open cricket up to a new generation of fans and it might have done that for some; but for me who has always been a fan and lives 200 miles from her team's ground; it has meant that i am once again able to see the players and games i support and i love that about it. sure it's not publicised as much (same for the US Open tennis which starts soon) but statistics don't lie all the time and we are primarily a nation of football lovers and football subscriptions pay for Sky Sports to stay on the air Looking at it the other way though, I am thrilled that for those 25 days we get ashes coverage because the amount of people who watch it means that Sky will keep paying for the pro 40 and ODI’s and occasional CC matches that i love but can’t afford to travel to see.
