Watching Ashes Cricket

[davek]

Anyone know a bar or restaurant in Chiang Mai that is showing the Ashes cricket? Also, Anyone know of a satellite system that carries a channel that shows Ashes cricket, such as SkySports (UK) or Channel 9 (Australia)?

Thanks.

It's on UBC.One of the PFV channels.The UN Irish pub has it.

[Mahseer]

Had breakfast in Mad Dogs yesterday and they were showing it.

It is NOT on the Australian Broadcasting network! but is in UBC (PPV) and free on WE TV. Irish Pub & True Blue are showing and am sure The Pub will. Not sure about the other "farang" Bars

It isn't on WETV mate.

You can watch it all LIVE on the net if you have a very fast connection via the ACB fir $20 US the whole lot.

Looks like it will be pretty one sided though...back to reality boys, every single bounce went your way last time. Now, it's going to be as it should be...Australia very easily.

And you got done like a hot dinner at Twickenham yesterday too.

As for the ashes though, England haven't got a "bolters"

If games are not shortened because of rain it will be Oz 5 - England 0

I was always told that you don't hit people when they are down

Yeah Twickenham was a bl**dy disaster English rugby has been a disaster since the WC.

As for the criket I seem to remember MCGrath making 5-0 claims after the first test last time and we knoiw what happend then.

(Says Englishman more in hope than expectation)

[miltonbentley]

Well played Aus - pretty d*mned comprehensive, can't argue with that. At least we took you to the fifth day (just)

From the earlier posts I assume WETV is South African satellite? Can anyone give me any more information and how I can go about getting it, the costs etc.

Cheers

That's great news. I tried the Australia channel first and didn't see anything.

Those south african channels are hit and miss for me...some days they work fine, other days i get no signal.

I have three of them, one is always a poor reception.

Are they like that for you fellas?

I have WETV via cable, not sattelite btw.

For the other poster: WETV is 350 baht a month and excellent value. Only in limited areas though / only CM.

It is channels from all around the world.

What channel exactly? Name / number??

[Fosa]

White Lotus is showing all the matches.

[kelpiedog]

What channel exactly? Name / number??

It is on WE TV Cable. The Channel number will vary from TV to TV due RF interference. It should be about CH70 on Blitz Sports

[SoloFlyer]

Thanks. I just saw hilights on channel 14 or 15.

(I thought the channels were the same - ie when i stay in hotels, AusTV is usually 37, as is here at my place, and bbc is 2 channels below)

Can anybody confirm if the outback steakhouse is showing it?

[davek]

Thanks for all the responses, much appreciated. I have WETV but I can't get half the channels they list in their printed guide, let alone the ones they don't (South African etc).

Anyone know if NSS (North Star Sat) carries a channel showing it?

Of course I could reinstall ludicrously expensive UBC and fork out the PPV fee but from my experience with them it would be 2008 before it was up and running...

[SoloFlyer]

Can confirm that it is on at the downunder. Pitty about the noisy construction going on next door.

Am watching the ashes in TRUE BLUE at this moment 3/355

[miltonbentley]

Am listening on the net at the moment through Cricket Australia. Aus$19 for the series and have signed up PPV on UBC. 1500baht for the series is OK.

Not the most exciting play at the moment though. At least England are making a fist of it.

Cheers JBG couple of wickets before close will do very nicely thank you. Not much in the pitch though.

Nice moment seeing McGarth wave at the crowd after going for 100 without a wicket. Now thre's a rarity.

[SoloFlyer]

Fluck... who wooda thought england decalre??

Its a nice balcony here... with wi fi too...

[miltonbentley]

Coulda done with the second wicket, Ricky at the crease always makes me nervous but I think its fair to say game on.

[Pink Mist]

langer out, day 2, england will win

A good day but I think there's a fairway to go until we break out the party buckets.

I am just hoping for a series as competitive as the last one and the last 2 days have at least given me hope after the appalling showing lby England last week. I also want to see Monty play.

[Pink Mist]

anyone in Adelaide?

[miltonbentley]

anyone in Adelaide?

The Barmy Army by the sounds of it.

[miltonbentley]

I knew Ricky would be a handful. Giles - hands like cow's t*ts
