This is the worst possible outcome for the World Cup. February in Australia, a World Cup going on in all corners of the country and we've had two games of cricket on in 3 weeks.

**** you Foxtel, **** you Cricket Australia. By the time the pointy end comes around I won't give a shit who is a chance and who isn't, I'll not have seen any!

Oh, and the cricket we do get to see is crammed in between the most ludicrous, over the top, Julian Clary inspired graphics. What's with that? I know who is batting, I know who is bowling, take that shit down when the bowler is running in!

The Foxtel coverage is exceptional.

Agreed, LM.

I also love the plethora of international commentators like Botham, Mbangwa and Bhogle. They're all a million times better than Healy and Slater.

It makes me a little sad not having Fox but it's cheaper than $100 a month, yeah?

Absolutely, they have really done their homework in getting a broad range of commentators and not just ones that keep blowing wind up the arse's of the aussies.

Problem is, once you get Fox it's hard to go back to just FTA, I just factor it in as a living expense and skimp on other costs in my life, I'd rather spend more time at home so I may aswell enjoy my time there.

Depends which Expressway you're talking about...

I assume we'd be at opposing ends of the suburbs, if you're talking about going down instead of going up.

I'm on the other side of Main North Rd, at Para Hills West.

So, I was wrong... again.
