You pay for Sky, you watch it on Sky
You don't pay for Freeview, you watch it on Freeview
Thanks for subsidising me
Sky are a rip off but if you haggle enough you can get the whole lot for about £30 pm
They should show it for free. there was a time when home English cricket was on normal tv.Which I think should happen now.. But its all about the pound sign.

Nice sentiment but the BBC spend all of their money on ridiculous salaries for Graham Norton, Gay Lineker etc
Well our money, but I get your point
Final is been shown on Channel 4
The final should be live on free tv. Cricket been behind a pay wall far too long, a full generation. Next summers deal will help with the England t20 games and the 100. Should be at least one test match per summer chucked in too.
The final is being shown on C4 until the F1 starts then you have to switch to More4. How does that make sense? More4 isn’t free, what’s the point in having it on C4 if you’re going to cut out over 3 hours of the match in the middle. Stupid
Why do you want everything for free sky should charge double or make it pay per view even better
Er, because we like it free, we don't have to pay, it's gratis; I think that's why.
Cricket made the wrong choice after the famous ashes win, and lost all the momentum they had gained in attracting new fans and young players.
Oh look at me.
I pay for Sky so why should others get the cricket for free?
You pay for the whole service you fud, not just the cricket final.
Christ
My only gripe is more4 is only standard definition on free view so you can only watch part of the final in HD so sky customers still getting a better deal.

Which they pay part of their subscription for.
All seems fair to me
It's good that more people can watch the final on freeview and a nice gesture from Sky. I have no doubt they will be some plugs for Sky on C4.
I pay for Sky and don't begrudge this at all. Like anything in life, you get what you pay for. The difference in quality of the coverage between Sky and C4 is just immense.
Hilarious that C4 are dropping the coverage whe n the British Grand Prix starts. It's like when the BBC used to cover cricket and interrupt the game at crucial moments to cover the 2:15 from Haydock. Crazy times.
Try asking "why won't".
It has nothing to do with "can't".
Many people, quite rightly, refuse to put even more. money into the hands of an organisation that is being guided into ever more disgusting attacks on decent, honest, working-class people.
So we'll done for sponsoring an organisation that will eventually destroy you. Unless of course you are a corporate owner or banker - which judging by your stupidity and ignorance is, I suppose, slightly feasible.
Besides, there are many ways of circumventing the capitalist whores.
Watch the cricket that way and for free to pizz them off.
win-win
Only daft losers like you would actually pay

All world cups should be free to view on normal TV. A lot of supporters cannot afford the exorbitant monthly fees that Sky charge for watching their sports channels.
Does anyone miss the days when Sky Sports just used to be Sky Sports 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. Now having dedicated Sports for each channel is a bit odd. As I don't care about the F1 or Golf
None of us should have to pay to watch the national side in any sport.
Disgraceful!
This may have already been covered but for any of you guys watching on channel 4 the coverage stops at 1.15pm to show a pointless race (not the french) but switches to More4. It switches back to channel 4 after the GP!

Why?
You’d have to pay to be there. Why should you be allowed to watch anything for free? No tv is for “free”. They’re all paid for in one way or another even if it’s you or me paying for the the companies to spend some of our money on products by advertising them on tv.
