Don't think NFL Network is on TVU. Neither is ABC anymore, which is a nuisance as it meant I had to pay to watch the Ohio State-Michigan game online last week.
I'll check out the Asian channels if I get round to trying to watch the Ashes.

Its not but different cable channels appear for sporting events (US ones...) all the time. At least 4 different basketball games available last week at one stageQuote:

All stations carrying the world series were pulled (Sopcast had ESPN asia though)
ABC is gone a month or so
Fox was there for the final game of the World series I think.
Back on topic. England failing to recover & only getting worse. 91-5
Flintoff out for nothing to compound the misery. I think Bell is only recognised batsman now. Looks like England have 2.5 days & 15 wickets left to hang on as runs make difference now.
Score now? When I left it last night, Australia were 33-0..
181-1, Ponting 51*, Langer 88*. Australia presumably eschewed the follow-on to allow Warne the benefit of a fourth evening or fifth-day wicket and to enable their batsmen to play themselves into form (in which case, I'm surprised Gilchrist or Clarke haven't been promoted up the order.)
Very little luck with streams last night. :(
Why do I get the feeling England might get a draw out of it...surely they can't be as bad as the first innings...
England 293-5 now with three sessions left. Pietersen is in, Collingwood stumped on 96 and Flintoff sending another wayward shot straight to a fielder.
There might be rain at times as well.....it's not over yet.
All over in 20 overs on the last day.
A convinving win for Australia - the reason they lost the Ashes last time was mainly that the batsmen couldnt cope with some fantastic English bowling - hasnt been a problem so far.
i backed aussie to win the series 5-0 , will probably lay out after 3-0 as they might ( might) take the foot off the gas then !
Not sure this is over yet. There's not much wrong with England's batting lineup all of whom have runs in them.
Bowling is obviously the problem but Flintoff is on form and on a spinning wicket they could bring Panesar in for Anderson. That means that the series probably hinges on Harmison and whether he can splutter into some sort of form. At this stage a 5 wicket match would be all he needs to do.

And whatever Panesar can do on a spinners wicket will be more than matched by Warne.
Drop Giles and Anderson. Bring in another batsman (Joyce) and Panesar and use Pietersen to bowl more.
Enjoyed also yesterday the record 8th wicket stand of the South Africans vs India in a one day game. From something like 70-6, they eventually posted 275-7 and won the game.
More exciting than Newcastle vs Portsmouth, that was for sure.
Not only was it a recore 8th wicket stand but it was also achieved at a run rate of almost 10 an over!
For some reason the Aussies are the same price on betfair (1.48) as they were for the 1st test! Don't understand this considering how poorly England bowled in the 1st test.
Test matches are great to trade in running and you can often end up with each of the 3 results being a winner for you.
Everyone still so sure about an Aussie whitewash? great performance from Pieterson, I thought - england can certainly win this one
Getting a bit worried about this English revival lads, Collingwood alone has me thinking that the English might take a test or two at least
Collingwood and Pieterson are in fantastic form and look to be the main batsmen for England in this tour. If they can get Strauss and Cook to chip in then they have a formidable front 4 and that will always give them a chance even if their bowlers are coming up short. The series is still wide open.
The pitch is as flat as Antigua though....can't judge the England performance yet.
