If they don’t use Mambo No.5 and the vintage Channel 4 graphics I will be very disappointed. How else am I going to get childhood nostalgia from the World Cup?

So, it’s definitely not on Channel 5, then?

Back in the day…

…I mean so long ago that the expression “back in the day” hadn’t even been invented…

…such stuff was on the BBC.

Here is my report on the very first match of the very first cricket world cup.

Included is a little highlights package with the dulcet tones of Richie Benaud and Jim Laker.

This makes me feel old, but not as old as my hero that day, Chris Old.

In reply to Alphamonkey. Perhaps KC could bid for the rights in the next edition. I’m good for a tenner if it needs crowdfunding.

In reply to Alphamonkey. Hear, hear. In the media industry they call this 'News you can use'. Yeah sorry I just got a little bit sick in my mouth too.

I think it is a damning indictment of the both the mainstream media and the ICC’s convoluted TV rights packages that Kingcricket is currently my go-to website when wanting to find no nonsense, to-the-point information about how and where to watch cricket on TV.

And then there’s the added shock of coming here for that information and immediately finding it, presented in a concise and informative manner.

King Cricket: informative and to the point.
