Telegraph article - re courtsiders / data mules

Interesting article, by Nick Hoult

I am not sure, what .. Any cricket union can really do. If the data mules are banned from grounds, they will just go outside, or , somewhere close by, and get the 'live' radio feeds, which, equate to the same thing.

Are the ECB gonna stop radio comms .. ? Or delay them ? .. And really, how hard is it, to employ a student , to watch the game, playing with a mobile phone, which everyone seems to do.

Very hard to police .. In my view, the feeds should be open, and the ICC should release as much inf as possible .. Including light meter readings/weather info/injuries/Duckworth Lewis calcs/ etc. Give it to everyone, and make it value less ..
