Thumbs up BBC Wins Rights to Cricket Coverage

Well, sorry for the sensational title, but there will be some international cricket coverage on the BBC this summer. BBC Scotland has won the rights to screen the Scotland vs Australia one day international!

That's some good news at last from Auntie!

That said, and laughing aside - I'll probably watch it, out of curiosity more than any misguided sense of patriotic optimisim. I'm more concerned about how Scotland will do in the domestic one-day comps this year.

Careful, TTFC: it's BBC Scotland that has the rights. Maybe it won't be broadcast in England/Wales/Northern Ireland. I don't know anything about this, but I did notice that Andy mentioned only North Britain in his post.
