Why does Cricket get TV news coverage?


Had a most enjoyable sea swim this morning. Went in off rocks Crantock side of Pentire headland, swam to Gooserock (pictured) before turning back (maybe have a go at swimming to Fistral next time!). As Simon had seen people coasteering yesterday we headed for cove and ended up traversing through cave in which sounds of water/ waves were awesome before swimming back to Crantock beach. Really good fun and contributes as training for Norseman (swimming - my weakest of the three disciplines). I will to focus on swimming over the next year and should be able to benchmark improvement relative to Simon - as he currently leaves me someway behind...

Anyway, for those of who are interested in sport is there someone out there who can explain to me why 'Test' cricket, specifically recent tests featuring England, is thought deserving of TV news coverage?

The 2008 Norseman started early this morning so if you want to get a feel for event you can see photos and follow event on Norseman today. (mr t shirt I hope this persuades you of the challenge presented by this event...) Good luck to all 2008 entrants.

The pros are surpassing expectation, and the addition of pictures is very impressive. You could be in line for an Advertees blog award for outstanding writing style. There are more awards up for grabs, most hits for the term royzy is another you may be interested in, and I agree, cricket sucks, a relative of the news team must be playing?

Don't listen to mr t shirt, he speaks poison. Maybe you should ask him where the link to The Sporting Accountant is on his blog.

I believe the combination of cricket coverage and Big Brother is the main cause for increase in gun and knife crimes across the UK.
