Anyone know what the most painful form of suicide is? I feel like giving it a whirl all of a sudden.

Don't worry, we'll have Newk telling everyone to get into the net every point on Channel 9.

David Peever's masterful handling of the pay dispute has been exceeded by his quality diplomacy in the TV rights battle.
For all the talk about changing the player culture in Australian cricket, blowhards like this and job-for-life dullards like Sutherland running the game are an even bigger issue.

What a bunch of morons. I'm totally unsurprised.

So hypothetically if the ECB and Cricket Australia decided to take the Ashes to the USA for a series, there's no obligation for that to be on FTA?

Looks like Foxtel are making a major play for the TV rights.
Not surprised by this at all; Foxtel's lifeblood is sports and in the summer months, the loss of the Big Bash five years ago really hurt them, especially as the lost the Australian Open tennis as well and the A-League soccer has stagnated badly in recent seasons.
The anti-siphoning laws obviously will hinder them to some aspect but I could easily see a channel like 10 (which desperately needs to retain BBL at least) being happy to be a simulcast broadcaster for a reduced price.

Yeah pretty much. It gets updated all the time though; they made some changes to it just in relation to the Aus/NZ being co-hosts of the World Cup for example. If there was an Ashes series somewhere new they'd probably just change it again.

Only if it's in the UK (or Australia obviously), which was the point he was getting at. A theoretical Australia v England Test or ODI in the USA isn't protected at the moment.
