Shane Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 ya' date='its all the same with all channels except espnstar[/quote'] yup, espnstar rarely do it !!!
Lord Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 yup' date=' espnstar rarely do it !!![/quote'] i have never seen them do it.with them,they announce that they gonna take a break or announce the score.being indian channels,we can allow that
diegovegaz Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 diego, its not only max, its with most of the broadcasters 5- ball overs are a thing of the past, in the T20 game the other night, i witnessed a 4 baller !!! This is getting from bad to worse it sure is neo cricket frustrates me too much even ten sports, in its limited broadcasts, has managed to give me a headache in the T20 match, what i saw was, the bowler released the ball from his hand, and they gave an ad; then they came back, showed the ball in the feilder's hand, and again went ahead with their advertisements this is a mockery of a cricket broadcast
Gambit Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 TV Coverage is piss poor. The other day, after Yusuf hit a 6, Sanga and co were engaged in some discussion on what to do, NEO went to an ad break. The moment Irfan hit the winning 6, they cut to a 5 minute long break! WTF?! I WANT to watch the celebrations and soak in the atmosphere. Thankfully, DD were showing a parallel feed. Neo and others should be taken to consumer court.
Predator_05 Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 I used to feel sad about not being able to watch cricket matches on television. Living in the United States made the task of following live cricket ball by ball very difficult. Now, i pity the people living in India because they have to put up with the sh[itty, ad-filled coverage, whilst i sit back and stream the entire game from a direct feed which has almost no ads whatsoever. Nice.
Mr. Wicket Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 Also really frustrating - when the last ball of an over is a no-ball, they cut away to an ad - then only come back for a second half way through the re-bowl, before cutting away again almost immediately. Grr.
Cricketics Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 Coverage wise, i think no one comes close to Directv of USA. No ads nothing. When the over is completed, we are still seeing players talking to each other, bowler taking run up for the new fresh over etc. heck, even when game is over, we see all the celebrations which are never shown in India or any other part of the world. we see all commentators preparing for their presentation, players getting ready to speak to a certain commentator after their good innings or bowling spell etc. some funny stuff which is happening etc.
Sachinism Posted February 13, 2009 Author Posted February 13, 2009 Sky Sports is awesome when it comes to coverage Feed quality is brilliant, ads come on now and then, but never interrupt the cricket
Cricketics Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 Sky Sports is awesome when it comes to coverage Feed quality is brilliant, ads come on now and then, but never interrupt the cricket ya i like there coverage but hate when something interesting is happening Ian war or whoever is the presenter starts talking to ther person who is in studio. they shut off the commentators who are there in the stadium and put their own Audio. and sometimes when there are couple of wickets falling together, they will start put visuals of sky sports studio where we not seeing any glimpse of the ground but are seeing boring Ashish Ray instead whining about something.

Don Sharma Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 110 %, the ads on tv !!! Well the NZ-WI series too was on Sony, SAB Shane are you sure about this, coz I woke up early in the morning during one of the tests and all I could watch was Hindi films
Desi Cartman Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Channel 9s coverage is awesome .. they also use new technologies and are innovative ..
Desi Cartman Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 btw FoxSports is showing India's tour of NZ :yay:
Shane Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Shane are you sure about this' date=' coz I woke up early in the morning during one of the tests and all I could watch was Hindi films[/quote'] Proof
Don Sharma Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Proof No dude I was talkin about the NZ-WI series...
Shane Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 No dude I was talkin about the NZ-WI series... Well, thy didnt show all the games live ... i remember watching the Test matches on delay, they just showed one of the T20 games live Most of the games were on delay !!! They showed em at 1 30 am IST !!!
Don Sharma Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Well, thy didnt show all the games live ... i remember watching the Test matches on delay, they just showed one of the T20 games live Most of the games were on delay !!! They showed em at 1 30 am IST !!! Oh okay...anyways I watched it on Ustream, but the quality wasnt that gud. There was a parallel series Oz-SA going on and Tony Cozier commented "Australia are fast becoming conteders for the 8th spot".:hysterical: Ian Smith said "It would be nice to have a cup of tea with Healy now".:haha:
spectre Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I really hoped it would be ESPN-STAR Its sad that STAR lost rights in most countries it had earlier ( WI, SA, NZ). I think its left with only Aus and Eng Set Max is not too bad, atleast the commentators were okish But Neo sports is horrid...and with Arun La & LS, its a nightmare I really hope, these two don't get a VISA ( by any chance) to go to NZ
Show_stopper Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I really hope, there two don't get a VISA ( by any chance) to go to NZ I don't know about that..NZ would be perfect for AL considering his hobbies..:--D
