Transmission Entertainment (formerly IR Gurus) are the Aussie off-shoot making BLIC and whilst they're now owned by Red Mile it could be a problem but, as Codemasters will continue to be the publisher, it hopefully won't affect it.

If Codemasters fails to deliever a Cricket game in summer this will give EA an oppertunity to capture the whole cricket gaming market !
