That would be awesome.
PC you know they used to have channel 703 (on Bell) which was called Cricket channel and if they had a conflict with 2 matches they used to split the stream. But now I don’t see that channel anymore wonder what happened to it. Also they are advertising for a new channel called Cricket Plus, I think that will show cricket highlights, interviews and other goodies plus I think it will serve during WC to split the streams of different matches if they have conflict with timing.

That Cricket channel was PPV Cricket. For some reason I don't know why Bell does not do PPV Cricket matches anymore? India and Pakistan ODI's were always on that channel, whereas the test matches were always played on ATN/CBN.
Anyways good news. I just received a reply by email by a person named Suria.
**Dear Sir
In response to your email, which has been forwarded to the sports dept. the Ashes series will be aired completely (timings are on our website).
Customer Service ATN**
I would suggest everyone to email ATN right now and let them know you want to watch the whole Ashes uninterrupted. Suggest they move India vs. SA to some other channel.

Australia still firm favourites IMO. One of the most remarkable qualities of this Australian side is their ability to win a game from seemingly hopeless positions. Anything above 200 will be very difficult for England to chase in the last innings.
Besides England's batting is not very strong. They have no world-class batsmen apart from Pietersen. Collingwood is ok but the rest of their top 6 suck big time. They are quite 'get out able'

At stumps on second day Aus are 119/1 for a lead of 148 runs. Barring weather there will be a result in this match and at the moment it seems that at the end of this match Aus would have regained the ashes. before the start of this match flintoff said he wanted to create history. He might well get his wish. :D

Oh he's the best in my opinion... after Simon Taufell. But the ball was under the roll of the pads and straight on with no bat involved.
Whatever.. England's own fault. Alistar Cook missed a catching opportunity right after from Hoggard and their field placement is kind of disorganized with no mission.
