Shows why England are now the best in the world
I actually watched series on television then got this, and the series was very good entertaining with good expert commontary throughout the Sky Sports team. It shows that Freddie can defend rather then just play his shots all time. But it was a shame we missed him in the ODIs, but showed to all cricket fans how much of fantastic talent that Kevin Pietersen (okay you may not like his "dead mongoose" hairdo, his swaggering self confidence which can border on the arrogance). But you have to appreciate how much of an exciting talent he is.

If you are cricket fan get it. I can highly recommend it.

Review of Cape Crusaders
I bought this to counter a chronic case of cricket withdrawal following a superb ashes summer. I'd have to say that dispite the result of the series it's a pretty disappointing effort. Your attention is always diverted by Sky's constant string of graphics (presumably ever present because Sky's coverage is aimed at bar and club audiances rather than the sitting room viewer) and the lack of replays. There's nowhere near enough coverage of the action and no player interviews. Combine this with Sky's awful commentary team (all brilliant ex-players but not a broadcaster among them) and you'll wish you'd saved your money. You'll find mine in the second hand section soon
