Dumb question. What is dartfish?

Neo would never go beyond Indian region matches Ashes would be obviously available in Sky(Eng), channel 9 ( Aus ), Star cricket ( Asia ) by default.

They do telecast matches taking place in Bangladesh!

England cricket team land in Australia

Hello and a warm welcome to all our Sky Sports News viewers. We have some LIVE coverage for you and its from the Melbourne Airport where the English cricket team - which left England last night - have landed ahead of their warm-up games before the start of the most awaited Ashes Series 2010-11. From now on, the mind games between the two teams will begin as the series between the two fierce arch rivals is going to start in a couple of week’s time.

The entire England team have arrived in Australia. The place is not new to the coach or the skipper but the atmosphere is completely different for the new players like Tim Bresnan, Stuart Broad, Steve Davies, Steve Finn, James Hildreth, Eoin Morgan, Graham Onions, Graeme Swann and Jonathan Trott, as they are going the face the Aussies for time in their own backyard.

One thing for sure is that England can't underestimate the Australian team on their current form - which saw the Aussies lose the Test Series in India - as they know what happened last time when England played the Ashes Series in Australia.

: We can't underestimate them on their current form because we know what they did to us, last time when we played here. But at the same time we have the momentum on our side as we haven't lost a series this year in all formats of the game and we are looking forward to get used to these conditions during the three warm-up games.

England prepare for Western Australia

Hello and a warm welcome to all our viewers. The England cricket team has reached Perth where they play their first warm-up game of the Ashes Series 2010-11 against Western Australia which is a three-day game at the WACA.

The Three Lions who landed in Melbourne four days ago have been practicing very hard for this series. They know very well what happened last time when they were here and are looking forward not only to improve their performance from last time but also keep the Ashes by winning the series.

During the training sessions, the captain Andrew Strauss and coach Andy Flower were extremely busy in working out some tactics to tackle the Australian batsmen. Graeme Swann, who has been England's best performer of late, was seen practicing much harder along with Kevin Pietersen and Paul Collingwood. Graham Onions who is set to lead the bowling for the Three Lions along with Anderson and Broad looked fully fit and is raring to go.

The only place which looks up for grabs is the wicket keeping position. Matt Prior has been in good form of late but his glove work isn’t the best, while on the other hand Steve Davies is a very good keeper. Its rumored that both would be playing tomorrow against Western Australia but only one is expected to play against Australia at Brisbane. Here is our England's expected line up for the warm-up game tomorrow with England resting some of their key players.

England(expected): Cook, Strauss(C), Trott, Davies, Morgan, Prior(WK), Bresnan, Finn, Swann, Onions, Panesar.

Are you going to play the warm-up games? My suggestion would be just a match summary of those games. Otherwise, it would become lengthy from writers' view. Good luck

Even I have the same advice
If you will try to give match details of warmups than it will take a lot of time to get to the real matched
Hope England does well in the warmups and your writing and presentation is superb as always.KIU
