Compared to fans of other sports, us county cricket aficionados are pretty fortunate.

Thanks to BBC Sport's ball-by-ball coverage and the county’s live stream on YouTube you can watch every delivery of every game - your enjoyment enhanced by the knowledgeable voices that accompany it - for next to nothing. No subscriptions to pay unless you count the BBC license fee and even then we’re only talking about a couple of quid.

The BBC’s live stream has been a staple of their county coverage since 2014, although whether the service as we know it lasts for another 14 years is open to conjecture, as I will come to later.
