I think its somewhere in the middle - Sky have right to the ICC tournaments, and have a lot of rights deals with individual nations, but it's not an all encompassing single rights deal for all international cricket shown in NZ, and even the individual country deals aren't for all games, which is why Spark is able to compete when new rights are offered (like apparently the NZ tour vs England in June).
Edit: ok so it appears Spark got the rights to England cricket for 4 years.

NEON is increasing their monthly subscription to $15.99
A bit disappointed with the service. Won't let me play any movies on my TV app (lets me watch all the trailers though lol). Won't let me cast to Chromecast from my iphone. Need to keep using my laptop to cast which is a pain.
Went online last Sunday to report the issue and the person chatting with me said that he could not see any of messages lol... Then he emailed me and asked me more details, sent a follow up message on Wednesday and still nothing. Might just go back to Netflix

About time the subscription fee started to increase - $13.95/month ($9.99 if you get it through Spark) is ridiculously low for the range of quality stuff they put on there. They could gradually lift it to $18.99 per month and still be good value relative to other services like NETFLIX.
For every 10K of direct subs, this extra $2.04/month charge will raise ~$245K of revenue. The bulk of which will hit the bottom line. I wonder how long the current Spark contract goes before those fees can be lifted too.
As for your personal experience with NEON clown...that is a damn shame. The new app has been very good in my experience - especially with Chromecast. You sure this isn't user error mate?

Haha.. I just jumped back on to their website to see if I've missed any steps regarding casting and I've done nothing wrong. I use my phone to cast Youtube with no issues. I was able to use the TV app for a while until last Saturday, it just keeps saying "failed to play, try again later"
