2005 Ashes Series Telecast

I am delighted that the Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) has secured the free-to-air rights to telecast the 2005 Ashes series.

SBS's decision to telecast the Ashes series will mean that the vast majority of the Australian viewing public will be able to watch this important sporting event free of charge.

The 2005 Ashes series promises to be the most keenly contested for years. It can now be enjoyed by the millions of cricket fans across the country. I look forward to sharing in the excitement of this year's Ashes series with them.
