Dear Brinsley



You could watch it on a 1.8m and subscribe to SKY - the HD Sports channel is strong in CY..



I know you asked about the web.. if you DO subscribe to SKY you can watch it via the web.. you need to show a UK ip address.. but that's EASY



Trying to get a route to control one's SKY box - via the net - back in the UK off the ground..



I need help from the Dutch.. but they don't leave their SKYPE turned on ;)

close of play, 336 for 7. Honors even i reckon today,if we can crawl to 400 tomorrow it would be a good effort,350 will be average.

well,my rain dance worked today! Theyre just going back on now,england 435 all out 1st innings,aussies 463 for 4, 12 overs left today now,i'd better get out and start my rain dance again as i think its the only way we are going to save this 1st test.

Well guys just got back from UK. Raining in cardiff all week but I had the luck to go o the first day. My son in law was invited with my daughter she couldnt make t so he asked me. Corporate hospitality was amazing.I do not really understand the game even though i was a players girl when they sponsored it. It was thrilling and the atmosphere amazing. well done to all in wales who made this possible.Sophia gardens should host more. Its put Cardiff on the map but the traffic nightmare xxxxxxxxxxxx

Well done Monty and James Anderson at the death but that running on with another pair of gloves to run down the clock near the end we could have done without ! lets step up to the plate at Lords and take control !

fantastic last day,watched all day,great result for England but theyre definately going to have to up their game at lords on thurs,well done collingwood,nearly 6 hrs batting,that takes some doing!Anderson and Monty at the end were great also.Bet the Aussies were gutted about it.
