Highlights of the One Day International as England take on South Africa at the Ageas Bowl. Commentary and analysis comes from Michael Vaughan, Geoffrey Boycott and Simon Hughes.
Normal technical problems from the amateur IT department at C5. Good program that stops starts at random!! I am still amazed that after so many months they cannot sort this out when no other supplier seems to hava a problem!
To be fair, I have always found the channel 5 highlights quite good and the adverts do not play when I watch them online. Try using firefox and a built in pop up blocker. At the end of the day this a free service, which does not benefit from the TV licensing like BBC 1 and BBC 2. If its that irritating you can always pay sky £30 a month and the likes of Bob Willis monotous droning for an hour and a half.
I watched this game on Demand 5 at 11:20 AM the next morning (Wednesday) without any problems whatsoever.
The highlights were on for 48 minutes without adverts, but during peak Internet demand (school holidays).
I witnessed the South African professional ODI cricket team totally outperformed the English amateur schoolboy ODI cricket team just as they have done throughout their 2012 summer tour.
Channel 5 cricket highlights are usually professionaly & seamlessly presented by a good knowlegeable team ably headed up by Mark Nicholas. Heaven knows what went wrong this time, but it was unwatchable.
Will you be taking it off & re presenting it,as there are a lot of people out here hoping you might do this.
Please don`t spoil you brilliant reputation.
Can you please NOT put this up in bits? When it's available according to the website, I should be able to play the whole episode - not suddenly revert to adverts. I keep being forced to start again with the intro adverts.
Either this is available, or it isn't. NOT a bit of BOTH!!!
All I get is the beginning, plus endless repeats of the adverts.
Get your act together Channel 5!!!

Amateur broadcasting. How many times do we have to watch adverts, just to get half the coverage?
