When I was in England last week, the most prominent DVD displayed in the shops wasn’t a blockbuster film, or a music video: it was the three DVD set covering this summer’s Ashes – the cricket series between England and Australia.
However it bore the dreaded Region 2+4 logo, meaning that it wouldn’t play on US DVD players. (Yes, I know I could unlock mine, but I’d prefer not to have to.) So I was delighted to find that a company called Dreamcricket is about to start shipping the US (NTSC) version. Warne, Flintoff, Vaughan… and Richie Benaud’s farewell. I can hardly wait!
