1999 Cricket World Cup on the BBC

Broadcast 10th May 1999  © BBC British Broadcasting Corporation

But it was a World Cup with a difference as far as the BBC was concerned – in 1999 the rights to test cricket passed to Channel 4 and have since disappeared from free-to-view television completely. The BBC was still able to provide ball-by-ball coverage on Radio 5 Live, as this promo shows. Note the unusual use of a cue dot on this clip.
