Cricket repeats

From 1999 to 2005, Channel 4 was broadcasting live cricket coverage which disrupted Countdown's schedule on a regular basis. However, from 1999 to 2002, when matches were rained off or finished early, classic editions of the show were able to be repeated. This page contains details of every such show broadcast in place of the planned coverage.

In addition, A Tribute to Countdown: 3000 and Counting was repeated on 17 May 2001 due to rained-off cricket.
