Wow, just wow at the current UK weather. It's Spring yet there is sub zero temps and extensive snow.

Well in Brisbane it's approaching mid-Autumn, and we're getting part of that really sticky summer which we scarcely had.

Not sure what you mean by "Have Fox Sports but no digital." If you've got Fox Sports you should be able to watch it live. But to answer your question, no it is not on free to air.

It is on Fox Sports Plus. Is this free or pay per view?

John it is not pay per view it is on one of the sports channels but under viewers choice.
If you have an ipad and a Foxtel acct you can download the Foxtel Go app and watch it on there .

23rd March is nearly mid-Autumn? That doesn't happen until mid April in many southern hemisphere places... Drat! I'll be there next week. Still early Autumn in Melbourne. (but hard to tell).

I find it strange that different countries use different dates to change seasons. (Also could be a northern vs southern hemisphere thing too)

First time I have used Viewers Choice.

I think I was just being lazy and rounding it to the nearest month

Well John, apparently the forecast is for replicated temperatures, though chance of scattered storms. :shock:

We found it last Saturday might when the test match was flicked for some Rugby match.

Hooray ,finally the Aussies have a good session and Nathan Lyon takes five wickets .

Fair enough at least you got to see some cricket , Aussies might just sneak a win this test.

Great. Now they just have to do it again.

 

[QF WP]

Now they just have to finish them off and then bat well. Doubt it will go past 4 days

Hopefully but they are still inconsistent in the field at times and their batting is poor which is costing them dearly.

I think up north they go on "true" seasonal change days, and we just round down here.

Can do without the storms!
